简要总结
Cirrhotics with decompensation have increased risk of morbidity and mortality. There is increased portal pressure leading to decompensation. Carvedilol is a standard therapy given to cirrhotic patient with clinically significant portal hypertension to reduce portal pressure. Pentoxifylline is a nonspecific phosphodiesterase inhibitor with anti-inflammatory properties. It reduces portal hypertension, decreases lipopolysaccharide-induced liver injury, improves nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, prevents development of HRS in ascites and SAH, prevents hepatopulmonary syndrome. Investigator want to study whether addition of pentoxifylline to carvediolol vs carvedilol monotherapy reduces the risk of mortality and further decompensation in cirrhotics with prior decompensation.
详细描述
- Study population: Cirrhotic patients with prior decompensation at least 3 months ago
- Study design: A Open label randomized controlled trial
- Sample size Assuming decompensation in Arm 1 as 25%, and 10% in Arm 2, alpha error- 5, power - 80, 160 patients, 10 % lost to follow up - 180, Each arm 90 patients.
- Intervention Arm 1 : Carvedilol Arm 2 : Pentoxiphylline plus Carvedilol
- Monitoring and assessment
At enrollment:
-
- Complete history and physical examination
- Prior ascites, Hepatic encephalopathy, acute variceal bleed.
