About this study

Official title: A Randomized Non-inferiority Trial Comparing Low Dose Albumin Versus Standard Dose Albumin in High Risk Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis.

AIM:- A randomized non-inferiority trial comparing low dose albumin versus standard dose albumin in high risk Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis.

Methodology In this non-inferior randomized controlled trial one group will receive Low dose albumin: 20% albumin 0.75 g/kg at diagnosis and 0.5 g/kg after 48 hours and other group will receive Standard dose albumin: 20% albumin1.5 g/kg at diagnosis and 1 g/kg after 48 h (duration of infusion 6 hours).

Study population: Patients of age > 18 years of age with cirrhosis of liver who are admitted in ward/Intensive Care Unit diagnosed with Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis.

Study design: Randomized controlled trial Study period: September 2019- September 2020 Sample size: 300 (150 cases in each group) If there is a true difference in favour of the experimental treatment of 5 % then 270 patients are required to be 80% sure that the upper limit of a one sided 95% confidence interval (or equivalently a 90 % two-sided confidence interval) will exclude a difference in favour of the standard group of more than 5 %. And if the investigators consider 10% drop out final sample size is 270+30=300. 150 in each limb. Cases will be randomly allocated in 2 groups by block randomization method with block size taken as 10.

Monitoring and assessment: all the parameters of the objective and also noted any adverse effects.

Adverse Effects: Nausea, Vomiting, Fever with chills, dyspnea Stopping Rule: in the event of any of the adverse effects during therapy.

Expected Outcome of the project:

Proportion of patients having new development or progression of Acute Kidney Injury by day 7

Being tested
Low Dose Albumin, Standard dose Albumin

What participants receive

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

  • Low Dose AlbuminBiological

    20% albumin 0.75 g/kg at diagnosis and 0.5 g/kg after 48 hours

  • Standard dose AlbuminBiological

    20% albumin1.5 g/kg at diagnosis and 1 g/kg after 48 hours (duration of infusion 6 hours).

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients having new development or progression of Acute Kidney Injury in both groups

    Measured: Day 7

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of participants with resolution of Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis in both groups

    Measured: Day 7

  2. Changes in RRI (Renal Resistive Index) in both groups

    Measured: Day 6

  3. Number of participants who will develop volume overload in both groups

    Measured: Day 7

  4. Number of participants who will not survive in both groups.

    Measured: Day 7

  5. Number of participants who will not survive in both groups.

    Measured: Day 28

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Low Dose Albumin and Standard dose Albumin 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 13 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 10 May 2022. 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.

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?

Proportion of patients having new development or progression of Acute Kidney Injury in both groups (time frame: Day 7). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04273373, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 10 May 2022.
