About this study

In this study, we aim to analyse the effect of phosphate supplementation on donors undergoing partial hepatectomy for LDLT. In Group A, we are going to supplement phosphate in donors postoperatively from day 1 to day 5. We will analyse the trend of serum phosphate levels in donors postoperatively, its correlation with occurrence of postoperative complications and status of liver regeneration by CT volumetry on Day 7. Group B will constitute the controls for the study and hence attempt to find out the effect of phosphate supplementation in all donors postoperatively. We will analyse the data and elucidate the value of phosphate supplementation in reducing the occurrence of complications and effect on liver regeneration in donors in LDLT.

What participants receive

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

  • Potassium Phosphate InjectionDrug

    One ml of the preparation contains 3 mmol of phosphorous which when equated with RDA 10ml ie 30 mmol of preparation will be supplemented. The preparation is given slowly, intravenously over 4 hours diluted in 500 ml normal saline

What is being measured

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

  1. Post operative complications

    Outcome of phosphate supplementation in reducing the occurrence of postoperative complications assessed by Clavien Dindo grading

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Trend of serum phosphorous levels

    Serum phosphorous levels will be done daily and its trend will be compared in both the groups

    Measured: 1 week

  2. Trends in post-operative liver function tests

    Liver function tests will be done in both groups and its correlation with serum phosphate levels will be correlated

    Measured: 1 week

  3. Duration of hospital, ICU stay

    ICU stay and total hospital stay in the group will be assessed

    Measured: Till patient is discharged on an average of 10 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Potassium Phosphate Injection in people with Complication, Postoperative and Regeneration Liver, 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 3 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 2 Nov 2021. 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 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.

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?

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?

Post operative complications (time frame: 1 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 2 Nov 2021.
