Trial summary

Glycemic control during liver transplantation is challenging especially after reperfusion of the liver graft. Insulin dose to treat postreperfusion hyperglycemia is retrospectively analyzed using historical data. The proposed dose then is prospectively applied to the patients to assess the adequacy of the insulin dose. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Insulin Therapy for Postreperfusion Hyperglycemia in Liver Transplantation

Glycemic control during liver transplantation is challenging especially after reperfusion of the liver graft. Insulin dose to treat postreperfusion hyperglycemia is retrospectively analyzed using historical data. The proposed dose then is prospectively applied to the patients to assess the adequacy of the insulin dose.

Read the detailed description

Hyperglycemia is common during liver transplantation ,especially after graft reperfusion. Response to insulin is frequently unpredictable during postreperfusion period with no consensus or guidelines on glycemic control. The primary aim of this mixed retrospective/prospective study is to investigate the optimal insulin dose to treat hyperglycemia during the postreperfusion period of liver transplantation.

In the retrospective study, adult liver recipients (>18 years old) who underwent liver transplantation between 2004 and 2016 are reviewed. Delta glucose is the primary outcome variable defined as the difference in blood glucose levels before and after insulin administration. The relationship between the insulin dose and delta glucose is analyzed with a linear mixed effects analysis to find the optimal insulin dose to treat postreperfusion hyperglycemia.

In the prospective trial, the proposed insulin dose is administered to the patient who showed hyperglycemia after graft reperfusion. The frequency and magnitude of glucose reduction is the primary outcome. The secondary outcome is the incidence and degree of hypoglycemia.

What participants receive

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

  • InsulinDrug

    If blood glucose level after reperfusion of liver graft exceeds 180 mg/dL, the insulin dose proposed by the linear mixed effects analysis is given as a bolus.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Study groupExperimentalThe study group receives a linear mixed effects model-proposed dose of insulin when hyperglycemia is noticed after reperfusion of liver graft.
Receives: Drug: Insulin

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of blood glucose level 20 minutes after insulin administration

    Insulin is administered immediately after baseline hyperglycemia (blood glucose >180 mg/dL) has been observed.

    Change of blood glucose level after insulin administration is calculated as (baseline glucose - glucose after insulin administration).

    Measured: 20 minutes after insulin administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Insulin in people with Hyperglycaemia (Diabetic) and Liver Transplantation, 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Apr 2024. 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. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Chul-Woo Jung, MD, PhD (82-2-2072-0640, jungcwoo@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change of blood glucose level 20 minutes after insulin administration (time frame: 20 minutes after insulin administration). 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 19 Apr 2024.
