About this study

Official title: Imipenem and Tigecycline Versus Imipenem and Tigecycline With GM-CSF for the Management of Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis Presenting With Septic Shock.

Study population: A total of 90 consecutive patients of decompensated cirrhosis of any etiology, presenting to the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences with SBP with septic shock will be included.

Study design: Randomized controlled trial Study period: August 2019 to December 2021. Sample size: Assuming that the response rate is 90% with GM-CSF and 60% without GM-CSF after day 5. With alpha 5 and power 80,we need to enroll 76 cases (38 cases with each). Further assuming 20 % drop-out due to various reasons, it was decided to enroll 90 cases randomly allocated into two groups (i.e., 45 in each) by block randomization method by taking block size as 6. So for the present study, it was decided to enroll 90 cases in all.

Group A will be given Imipenem and Tigecycline. Patients with recent hospitalisation will be given Colistin in addition.

Group B will be given: To another group we will give Imipenem and Tigecycline and GMCSF.Patients with recent hospitalisation will be given Colistin in addition.

The dose of antibiotic will be given at dosage Inj Imipenem 1gm i.v. TDS Inj Tigecycline 100mg stat f/b 50mg i.v. OD Inj GM-CSF 500mcg s.c. OD Inj Colistin 9 MIU i.v. stat f/b 4.5 MIU i.v. BD Monitoring and assessment At the baseline, all patients will undergo investigational evaluation as described

Daily monitoring of following parameters:

  • Haemoglobin,
  • Total peripheral leucocyte counts,
  • Platelet counts,
  • Renal function tests
  • Liver function tests and
  • Chest X rays will be undertaken
  • Ascitic fluid analysis will be done on day 0, day 2 and day 5

Stopping rule:If the patient develops a TLC of more than 50,000, the dose of the GM CSF will be reduced to half and the treatment continued. If, even after the reduction, the TLC rises to more than 50,000, then the treatment will be stopped and the patient excluded.

Expected outcome of the project: Addition of GM-CSF to standard antibiotic regimen helps resolve SBP and improves outcome in decompensated liver cirrhotic patients.

Being tested
Imipenem, Tigecycline, GMCSF, Colistin

What is being measured

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

  1. Resolution of Spontaneous Bacterial peritonitis in both groups

    Response is defined by resolution of SBP in terms of total counts < 500,Neutrophil<250

    Measured: Day 5

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Reversal of shock in both groups

    Blood pressure more than 90/60 mmHg with no inotropes requirement

    Measured: Day 2

  2. Survival in both groups

    Measured: Day 7

  3. Survival in both groups

    Measured: Day 28

  4. Change in ascitic fluid metabolites Nitric Oxide in both groups

    change is defined as percentage reduction in nitric oxide

    Measured: Day 28

  5. Change in ascitic fluid macrophage population in both groups

    change is defined as percentage reduction in macrophage population

    Measured: Day 28

  6. Development of Hepatic Encephalopathy in both groups.

    Hepatic Encephalopathy will be measured as per West Haven criteria

    Measured: Day 28

  7. Development of Acute Kidney Injury in both groups

    AKIN criteria will be used for Acute kidney injury

    Measured: Day 28

  8. Development of Pneumonia in both groups.

    Pneumonia will be confirmed based on imaging and clinically

    Measured: Day 28

  9. Development of organ failures in both groups.

    Organ failure will be as per APACHE score

    Measured: Day 28

  10. Development of coagulopathy in both groups.

    Coagulopathy is defined as INR > 1.5

    Measured: Day 28

  11. Resolution of Spontaneous Bacterial peritonitis in both groups

    Response is defined by resolution of SBP in terms of total counts < 500,Neutrophil<250

    Measured: Day 2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Imipenem, Tigecycline and GMCSF 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 3 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Resolution of Spontaneous Bacterial peritonitis in both groups (time frame: Day 5). 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 16 Feb 2021.
