About this study

Official title: Randomized Trial Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of Terlipressin With Albumin Versus Midodrine With Albumin Versus Albumin Alone in Prevention of Paracentesis Induced Circulatory Dysfunction in Cirrhosis

  • Study Population: Patients admitted or seen in Out Patient Department, Department of Hepatology, Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences.
  • Study Design: Prospective Open Labeled Randomized Controlled Trial.
  • Study Period: January 2017 to December 2017
  • Intervention- Subjects will be randomized to 3 groups
  • All patients will receive Standard medical therapy - Albumin-8g/L of tap- one half of dose at beginning of tap and rest half after 6 hours of tapping.

Group A - Subjects will receive Terlipressin 1mg intravenous bolus at the onset of paracentesis and the remaining as 1 mg doses intravenous at 8 and 16 h after the first dose. ( total -3mg) Group B - Midodrine 7.5 mg TDS x 3 days Group C - Standard medical therapy only

  • Monitoring and Assessment: Clinical evaluation will be done at regular intervals.
  • Adverse Effects: Rise in blood pressure, arrthymias, hyponatremia and rarely cardiovascular side effects have been noted.
  • Stopping Rule: Development of PICD, hypertension ( BP>160/90mmhg-JNC class II)

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Paracentesis Induced Circulatory Dysfunction (PICD).

    Measured: Day 6

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number of hospital admission withing 28 days in all the 3 groups

    Measured: 28 days

  2. Development of Hyponatremia in all the 3 groups

    Hyponatremia is defined as S.Na < 130 meq/dL.

    Measured: Day 28

  3. Development of Hepatic Encephalopathy in all the 3 groups

    Hepatic Encephalopathy defined as West Haven Grade > 1

    Measured: Day 28

  4. Recurrence of ascites in all the 3 groups

    Measured: Day 28

  5. Development of Acute Kidney Injury in all the 3 groups

    Acute Kidney Injury is defined as increase S.Creatinine by more than 0.3 mg/dL

    Measured: Day 28

  6. Survival in all the 3 groups

    Measured: Day 28

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 2 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
