About this study

Official title: A Randomized Comparison of Two Albumin Administration Schedules for Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis

Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a common and frequently fatal complication of end-stage liver disease with a mortality of up to 10% primarily due to the development of kidney failure. Current standard practice is to treat this infection with broad spectrum antibiotics and salt-poor albumin administration on day one and three of treatment. In this study the investigators test the hypothesis that the administration of a second dose of albumin at 48 hours only to patients with renal insufficiency is as effective at preventing kidney failure as administering the second dose to all patients at 72 hours. In addition, a kidney function determined approach to albumin dosing may lead to substantial cost and resource saving from decreased albumin use without compromising treatment efficacy.

Standard Care, Experimental

What participants receive

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

  • Standard CareDrug

    Standard Care: 25% salt poor albumin administered day 1 (1.5g/kg) and day 3 (1.0g/kg)

  • ExperimentalDrug

    25% salt poor albumin administered per standard care on day 1 (1.5g/kg). Second dose administered on day 2 or later only to those individuals with renal insufficiency and risk for renal failure (Cr > 1.0 or BUN or Cr > baseline)

Second dose administered on day 2 only to those individuals with renal insufficiency and risk for renal failure (Cr > 1.0 or BUN or Cr > baseline). If albumin not administered at 48 hours, BUN and Cr will be monitored daily for 72 hours and will be administered if Cr > 1.0 or BUN or Cr are above baseline.

What is being measured

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

  1. Renal Failure

    Primary outcome is the presence of renal failure at any point from the start of the study (time 0) through 72 hours

    Measured: At any point from time 0 through day 3

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. All Cause Mortality

    Measured: At any point from time 0 through day 3

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Experimental in people with Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis, run by NYU Langone Health at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jul 2016. 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 United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Jul 2016). 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?

Renal Failure (time frame: At any point from time 0 through day 3). 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 Jul 2016.
