About this study

Official title: Double Plasma Molecular Adsorption System With Sequential Low-Dose Plasma Exchange in Patients With Hepatitis B Virus-Related Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure: A Prospective Cohort Study

This study is to investigate investigate the safety and efficacy of Double plasma molecular adsorption system with sequential low-dose plasma exchange in treating hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure.

Read the detailed description

Hepatitis b virus (HBV) related acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a serious condition with high mortality rate in China. But there still lacks of effective therapies in treatment of HBV related ACLF, except liver transplantation. Non-bioartificial liver support system treatments may be effective due to previous clinical data. Plasma exchange (PE) and double plasma molecular adsorption system (DPMAS) are two common ways in clinical practice. This study is to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of combination treatment of DPMAS and low volume PE in patients with HBV related ACLF. This study will be completed in 6 medical center. Two hundred patients with HBV related ACLF enrolled in this study are divided into trial group (DPMAS, low volume PE, and comprehensive internal medical treatment) and control group (comprehensive internal medical treatment). Symptoms, signs, laboratory tests results, adverse events, mortality rates are recorded from treatment baseline to 12 weeks.

What participants receive

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

  • Artificial liver support systemOther

    Patients will receive treatment of double plasma molecular adsorption system (DPMAS) and low volume plasma exchange (PE) for three times, and comprehensive internal medical treatment. The volume of plasma adsorption in DPMAS is 5000~6000 millilitre. The volume of fresh frozen plasma used in PE is 1000 millilitre.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mortality or liver transplantation rate

    Mortality or liver transplantation rate at 12-week follow-up.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score variation

    Variation of MELD score at 12 weeks after treatment. MELD score = 9.57 × loge(creatinine mg/dl) + 3.78 × loge(TBIL mg/dl) + 11.20 × loge(PT-INR) + 6.43.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatitis B, Chronic and Acute-On-Chronic Liver Failure, run by Third Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University at 1 site in China.

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 4 inclusion and 9 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Nov 2024. 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 China. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Wenxiong Xu, Doctor (+8613760783281, xwx1983@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mortality or liver transplantation rate (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 NCT04597164, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 29 Nov 2024.
