About this study

Official title: Effect of Nafamostat Mesilate on Hemodynamic Stability After Reperfusion of the Liver Graft

This study intends to see the effect of nafamostat on the attenuation of postreperfusion syndrome (PRS) that frequently occurs during liver transplantation.

Being tested
Nafamostat, Normal saline

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • NafamostatDrug

    0.2 mg/kg as bolus 1 minute before reperfusion

  • Normal salineDrug

    10 ml of normal saline

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
nafamostatExperimentalThe Nafamostat mesilate group received 0.2 mg/kg of nafamostat mesilate intravenously 1 min before reperfusion of the liver graft.
Receives: Drug: Nafamostat
ControlPlacebo comparatorThe control group received 10 ml of normal saline (same volume as nafamostat)intravenously 1 min before reperfusion of the liver graft.
Receives: Drug: Normal saline

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Moderate and Severe Postreperfusion Syndrome (PRS)

    Before entering the study, we re-defined the criteria of PRS. From our clinical experiences, two types of PRS were observed according to its severity and treatment option. "Moderate" PRS was identical to previously defined PRS: more than 30% decrease of mean arterial pressure lasting over 1 min was observed within 5 min after reperfusion of the liver graft. However, we differentiated a "severe" form of PRS, in which MAP rapidly fell below 40 mmHg, from the moderate one, because severe PRS required prompt intervention to prevent a permanent damage of vital organs.

    Measured: during 5 min after reperfusion of liver graft

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Nafamostat and Normal saline in people with Liver Transplantation and Postreperfusion Syndrome, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 May 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 May 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Moderate and Severe Postreperfusion Syndrome (PRS) (time frame: during 5 min after reperfusion of liver graft). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 May 2010.
