About this study

To evaluate the effect of terlipressin infusion on systemic and hepatic hemodynamics during hepatobiliary surgery

Being tested
terlipressin, normal saline

What participants receive

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

  • terlipressinDrug

    Also called glypressin

    Terlipressin will be started at the beginning of surgery as an initial bolus dose of 1 mg over 30 mints(1 mg/50 ml normal saline at a rate of 100 ml/h) followed by a continuous infusion of 2 μg/kg/h(1 mg/50 ml at a rate equal to wt/10 ml per hour) and weaned in the postoperative period over 4 hours.

  • normal salineDrug

    Also called 0.9 Nacl

    Patients receive 50 ml normal saline at a rate of 100 ml/h followed by a continuous infusion of 50 ml at a rate equal to wt/10 ml per hour and weaned in the postoperative period over 4 hours.

CONTROLPlacebo comparatorPatients receive the same volume of 0.9% saline in place of terlipressin for the same duration(50 ml normal saline at a rate of 100 ml/h followed by a continuous infusion of 50 ml at a rate equal to wt/10 ml per hour and weaned in the postoperative period over 4 hours).
Receives: Drug: normal saline

What is being measured

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

  1. portal pressure changes

    portal pressure changes in mmHg

    Measured: intraoperative period

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Effect on systemic vascular resistance

    •Effect on systemic vascular resistance in dyne.s/cm5

    Measured: intraoperative period

  2. Renal impairment

    Number of patients with renal impairment [defined as at least a doubling of serum creatinine or oliguria (<500 mL/24 hours)].

    Measured: for 3 days in the postoperative period

  3. Blood units transfused

    Number of packed RBCs (red blood cells) units transfused

    Measured: intraoperative period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing terlipressin and normal saline in people with Hemodynamics, Liver, Terlipressin, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 4 inclusion and 9 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 19 Dec 2017. 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 Egypt. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

portal pressure changes (time frame: intraoperative period). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02718599, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Dec 2017.
