About this study

Official title: Comparative Analysis on Short-term Efficacies of Two Kinds of Artificai Liver Method in Treating Severe Hepatitis B.

This was a non-blinded, prospective clinical study. From June 2020 to October 2021, 254 patients with HBV-ACLF were treated at the Department of Infectious Diseases, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University (Changsha, China). 186 patients who met the enrollment criteria were included in this study. Inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) aged 18-65 years old; (2) patients with ACLF caused by HBV infection; (3) meeting the diagnostic criteria for ACLF by the Asian Pacific Association for the Study of Liver (APASL).The exclusion criteria were as follows: (1) pregnancy or lactation; (2) previous liver transplantation; (3) hepatocellular carcinoma or other malignancy; (4) human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) infection or other immunocompromised states; (5) complicated with underlying diseases such as severe heart, respiratory, and blood system diseases. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the investigators randomly matched patients at a 1:1:1 ratio to three groups whose age, sex ratio, complication, and liver function were comparable: comprehensive medical treatment (Control group), PE group, and DPMAS plus half-dose sequential PE (DPMAS + PE group). As a result, 62 subjects per group were recruited into the study. This study was approved by the Clinical Research Ethics Committee of Xiangya Hospital, Central South University with informed content obtained from all participants (No. 202201022). The study protocol followed the principles of the Helsinki Declaration strictly.

All the 186 patients enrolled received comprehensive medical treatment after admission to the hospital, including anti-viral treatment, general supportive treatment, supplementation of blood products, such as albumin and plasma, and symptomatic treatment.

comprehensive medical treatmentExperimentalAll the 62 patients enrolled received comprehensive medical treatment after admission to the hospital, including anti-viral treatment, general supportive treatment, supplementation of blood products, such as albumin and plasma, and symptomatic treatment.
Receives: Other: KM-8800 plasma exchange device (Kuraray, Tokyo, Japan)
PE(plasma exchange)ExperimentalIn addition to comprehensive medical treatment, the PE groups were treated with PE or PE plus half-dose sequential PE. In the current study, PE was carried out using the KM-8800 plasma exchange device (Kuraray, Tokyo, Japan). The device was pre-flushed with 2000 mL of normal saline and 20 U/mL heparin dilution. And the blood pump speed was 100 to 120 mL/min and the plasma exchange speed was 25 to 30 mL/min. Before PE, calcium gluconate and diphenhydramine were routinely administrated to prevent an allergic reaction. For each time of plasma exchange,2800 mL fresh frozen plasma was administrated.

DPMAS+half-dose sequential PEExperimentalDPMAS with half-dose sequential PE was applied using the EC-40W plasma separator (Asahi Kasei Medical, Tokyo, Japan), BS330 bilirubin adsorption column (Jianfan Biotechnology, Zhuhai, China), and the neutral microporous adsorption resin HA330-Ⅱ (Jianfan Biotechnology). After the bilirubin adsorption and hemoperfusion treatment, sequential half-dose PE treatment begins. 1400 mL plasma replacement was conducted each time.

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 5 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 26 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 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?

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?

Number of Participants with survival without liver transplantation (time frame: 90 days). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05392673, which also lists 8 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 26 May 2022.
