Trial summary

Live donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is the treatment of choice for end-stage liver disease, predominantly in the East, where deceased donor liver transplantation is sparse. In LDLT, donor selection has to be stringent; as the donor safety is thepriority. Read more about this study

About this study

Live donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is the treatment of choice for end-stage liver disease, predominantly in the East, where deceased donor liver transplantation is sparse. In LDLT, donor selection has to be stringent; as the donor safety is thepriority. Live liver donors (LLD) with complex biliary and vascular anatomy are increasingly being accepted for donation with the betterment of technical expertise. One of the commonest reasons for LLD rejection is the hepatic parenchymal abnormality because ofsteatosis and steatohepatitis, which can increase the donor risk. Retrospective analysis of donors with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH) who were optimized and taken up for major hepatectomy from June 2011 to January 2018will be performed.

Study Design Aim and Objective -

  • Primary objective:
  • To study the effect of donor optimization protocol in donors with biopsy proven NASH
  • To study thebiochemical (LFTSs \& INR) recovery in donors with NASH after major hepatectomy
  • To compare their biochemical recovery parameters (LFTs \& INR) with that of non NASH donors.
  • Secondary objectives:
  • To study incidence of NASH among live liver donors
  • To study their respective recipients' outcomes
  • To study the morbidity among LLDs with NASH after major hepatectomy

Methodology:

  • Study population:Patients underwentLDLT from June 2011 to January 2019 at Institute of Liver \& Biliary Sciences, New Delhi
  • Study design:Retrospective study
  • Study period:from June 2011 to January 2019
  • Sample size with justification:All consecutive LLDs with at least one year of follow up post-operatively
  • Intervention: none
  • Monitoring and assessment:none Statistical Analysis:Categorical variables were presented as number (percentage) and were compared using the Chi-square test. Continuous variables were presented as mean (standard deviation, SD) and were compared using Mann-Whitney U Test.

Adverse Effects: None Stopping Rule of Study: None

Expected Outcome of the Project: Adherence to a strict dietary and lifestyle modifications plan will cause histological reversal of NASH and fibrosis in LLDs. Their clinical and biochemical recovery following the major hepatectomy will be similar to that of non-NASH LLDs.

    Measured: 6 weeks to 3 months

  4. Effect of donor optimization protocol on Liver Function Test in donors with biopsy proven NASH.

    Measured: 6 weeks to 3 months

  5. Improvement in Liver Function Test in donors with NASH after major hepatectomy.

    Measured: Day 0 to Day 7

  6. Improvement in Coagulation Profile in donors with NASH after major hepatectomy.

    Measured: Day 0 to Day 7

  7. Improvement in Liver Function Test between both the groups

    Measured: Day 0 to Day 7

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Proportion of NASH among live liver donors

    Measured: Day 0

  2. Morbidity among Live Liver Donors with NASH after major hepatectomy

    Measured: Day 0 to Day 30

  3. Post Operative complications of recipients in both the groups

    Measured: Day 0 to day 30

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non Alcoholic Steatohepatitis, 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 1 inclusion and 2 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 1 Oct 2020. 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?

Effect of donor optimization protocol on body weight in donors with biopsy proven NASH (time frame: 6 weeks to 3 months). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 1 Oct 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
