January 8, 2024 updated by: Region Stockholm

Novel Biomarkers for Evaluation of Hemostasis and Inflammation in Liver Cirrhosis

Evaluating hemostasis in decompensated liver cirrhosis with novel hemostatic assays.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The rebalanced hemostasis in liver cirrhosis is vulnerable and patients are prone to both bleeding and thrombosis. There are today no gold standard for evaluating the hemostasis and we will evaluate novel methods for this.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Observational

Enrollment (Estimated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

40 patients each with NAD, AD and ACF and 30 healthy volunteers.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis
  • 18 years or older.
  • Healthy individuals 18 years or older will serve as controls.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • • Extrahepatic malignancy or recurrence of such within the last year.

    • Diagnosis of non-cirrhotic coagulopathy, coagulation disorder or thrombophilia prior to inclusion.
    • Diagnosis of hematological disease such as hematologic malignancies, non-cirrhotic thrombocytopenia or thrombocytosis, Polycytemia Vera, hemoglobinopathies
    • Previous liver transplantation.
    • Transfusions the last 7 days.
    • Treatment with platelet inhibitors or anticoagulant except for prophylactic dosage of LMWH. If a prophylactic dose of LMWH has been used study sampling with addition of antiFXa must be taken >12 hours after the last injection.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Differences in laboratory values between groupstests
Time Frame: up to 5 years
Laboratory values of novel hemostasis tests TTAS, Quantra and OHP correlated to Rotem, TG and conventional coagulation assays. All tests have differnet values.
up to 5 years
Correlation between systemic inflammation and hemostasis measured by novel assays
Time Frame: uo to 7 years
Correlation between systemic inflammation measured by cytokines, NETs and ECV and hemostasis measured by novel assays as in outcome 1
uo to 7 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of participant with bleeding
Time Frame: Up to 7 years
Bleeding defined according to ISTH
Up to 7 years
Number of participants with Thrombosis
Time Frame: Up to 7 years
Splanchnic or non-splanchnic thrombosis
Up to 7 years
Number of participants that die
Time Frame: Up to 7 years
Up to 7 years
Number of participant going to transplant
Time Frame: Up to 7 years
Number of patients getting a transplant, acute, subacute or according to waiting list

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
