Efficacy and Safety of Tolvaptan in Cirrhotic Patients With Hyponatremia

Completed
Conditions
Liver Cirrhosis
Hyponatremia
Interventions
Other: conventional thearpy
Registration Number
NCT01850940
Lead Sponsor
Beijing Friendship Hospital
Brief Summary

This is a phase IV, open-label, prospective cohort study for 7 days.The recommended starting dose of tolvaptan is 15 mg daily orally. The dose may be titrated on the next day at 15 mg intervals up to 60 mg daily according to the serum sodium level response.Serum sodium level, change in sodium level from baseline, quality of life (EQ-5D-3L), change in body weight, edema, renal function, mortality and liver-related complications on day 7 and day 30 to evaluate the efficacy of tolvaptan in cirrhotic patients with hyponatremia.

Detailed Description

Tolvaptan is an effective treatment for hyponatremia. However, cirrhotic patients were underrepresented in previous studies. The pattern of use and efficacy of tolvaptan in real-life clinical practice are currently unknown.The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of tolvaptan in cirrhotic patients with hyponatremia. The secondary objective is to evaluate the short- to intermediate-term safety of tolvaptan in cirrhotic patients.This will be a phase IV, open-label, prospective cohort study for 7 days. Although not mandatory, study subjects are encouraged to undergo follow-up assessments at 1 month.Subjects will be evaluated at designated time points after initiation of therapy. The primary efficacy endpoint is the proportion of subjects with normal serum sodium level (135-145 mmol/l) on day 7. The secondary efficacy endpoints are serum sodium level, change in sodium level from baseline, quality of life (EQ-5D-3L), change in body weight, edema, renal function, mortality and liver-related complications on day 7 and day 30.
