简要总结

This is a multicentre, open, randomised, and controlled trial conducted in sixty (60) patients diagnosed with refractory or recurrent ascites. Patients will be randomised (enrolled) to either treatment arm A- implanted with the ALFApump System or treatment arm B-standard of care with evacuation large volume paracentesis. The main aims of the study are to determine the paracentesis free survival, defined as the time to the first large volume therapeutic paracentesis > 5 litres. The secondary aims are to assess non-inferiority of cirrhosis-related complications in the group of patients randomized to the ALFApump system group, as well as nutritional effects, resource utilisation, patient quality of life and survival non-inferiority.

  • Cirrhosis of the liver defined by histological and/or clinical, and/or radiological criteria
  • Presenting refractory or recurrent ascites and requiring periodic large volume paracentesis (large volume defined as > 5 L to accord with teh clinical guidance of EASL, European Association for the Study of the Liver, which recommends withdrawal of 5 L should precipitate administration of albumin).

排除标准

  • Platelet count of less than 40000 /uL unless platelet therapy is given at the time of surgery
  • Clinical Evidence of recurring bacterial peritonitis, defined as 2 or more episodes over the last 6 months or a single episode within the last 2 weeks.
  • Clinical evidence of recurring urinary infections, defined as 2 or more episodes over the last 6 months or a single episode within the last 2 weeks.
  • Clinical evidence of loculated ascites.
  • Advanced hepatocarcinoma, defined as one which exceeds Milan criteria.
  • Obstructive uropathy, residual urinary volume exceeding 100 ml, or any bladder anomaly which might contraindicate implantation of the device.
  • Concurrently implanted with any other Active Implantable Medical Device, including, but not limited to, cardiac pacemaker or cardioverter defibrillator.
  • Pregnant females or females anticipating pregnancy during study period
  • Patients currently enrolled in another interventional clinical study
  • Other concomitant disease or condition likely to significantly decrease life expectancy or present anaesthetic risk (e.g., moderate to severe congestive heart failure)
  • Known presence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)

  • Known or suspected hepatic or extra hepatic malignancy, unless adequately treated or in complete remission for ≥ 3 years
  • BMI > 40 presenting a risk for surgery and tunneled lines
  • Patients with contraindications for general anesthesia
