Efficacy and Safety of Polyene Phosphatidylcholine in Treatment of Patients With Acute Drug-induced Liver Injury

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Acute Drug Induced Liver Injury
Interventions
Drug: Magnesium Isoglycyrrhizinate injection 200 mg QD
Registration Number
NCT04595916
Lead Sponsor
Sichuan Haisco Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and the safety of polyene phosphatidylcholine Injection in patients with acute drug-induced liver injury after 2-4 weeks of treatment.

Detailed Description

This study is a phase IV study in subjects with acute drug-induced liver injury. As designed, the study will include a screening period of up to 1 week, 2 to 4 weeks of treatment, and 1 week of safety follow-up. The eligible subjects will randomly be assigned to polyene phosphatidylcholine group or magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate group to receive single-blind treatment with a ratio of 1:1.
