What is being measured

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

    Measured: 6 Month

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Survival in both groups after development of SBP (Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis ).

    Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis is defined as Polymorphonuclear count > 250 in ascitic fluid.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. Survival in both groups after development of SBP (Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis ).

    Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis is defined as Polymorphonuclear count > 250 in ascitic fluid.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. Survival in both groups after development of SBP (Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis ).

    Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis is defined as Polymorphonuclear count > 250 in ascitic fluid.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  4. Survival in both groups after development of SBP (Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis ).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing GMCSF and Norfloxacin in people with Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis, run by Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences, India at 1 site in India.

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

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in India. 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.

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?

Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis on secondary prophylaxis in both groups (time frame: 6 Month). 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 24 Oct 2019.
