Impact of Propranolol on the Prognosis of Patients With Decompensated Cirrhosis and MELD Score > 9

11. juni 2026 opdateret af: Xingshun Qi, General Hospital of Shenyang Military Region

Impact of Propranolol on the Prognosis of Patients With Decompensated Cirrhosis and MELD Score > 9: a Non-inferiority Randomized Controlled Trial

Non selective beta blockers (NSBBs), such as propranolol and nadolol, are mainstay therapies for portal hypertension in cirrhosis, but their efficacy and safety vary depending on the stage of the disease. Emerging evidence suggests that NSBBs may worsen the prognosis of advanced cirrhosis, especially in patients with a model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score of >9. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effects of the use of propranolol as recommended by the guideline on the prognosis in cirrhotic patients with a MELD score of >9.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

This is a non-inferiority, randomized controlled trial. A total of 466 decompensated cirrhotic patients with a MELD score of >9 will be enrolled. Participants will be stratified based on the presence or absence of acute decompensation at enrollment, and then randomly assigned at a 1:1 ratio to conventional treatment combined with or without propranolol groups. All patients will receive standard medical therapy in both groups, and then regularly followed. The primary outcome is further decompensation. The secondary outcomes include recompensation and death.

Deltagergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Eksperimentel: Conventional treatment without propranolol
Patients are provided with conventional supportive treatment only, but without nonselective beta blockers.
Andet: conventional therapy
Conventional treatment of decompensated cirrhosis mainly includes anti-hepatic fibrosis drugs, albumin infusion, diuretics, peritoneal drainage, esophageal variceal ligation, endoscopic tissue adhesive injection, blood purification, and liver transplantation.
Aktiv komparator: Conventional treatment combined with propranolol
Patients are administered with propranolol in addition to conventional treatment.
Medicin: propranolol
Propranolol will be started with 10-20 mg/day for the propranolol group, which will be gradually increased to the maximum tolerance dosage or achieve a heart rate of 55-60 beats per minute and a systolic blood pressure of 90mmHg.

Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
The time from randomization to the occurrence of further decompensation
Tidsramme: Time to first further decompensation event, assessed from randomization up to the end of the study (maximum of approximately 96 weeks)

Further decompensation is defined as any of the following conditions:

  1. the occurrence of a second portal hypertension driven decompensation event (ascites, variceal bleeding or HE) and/or non-obstructive jaundice;
  2. the occurrence of recurrent variceal bleeding, refractory ascites, recurrent HE, SBP, and/or HRS-AKI;
  3. the occurrence of ascites, HE, or jaundice in patients with bleeding alone after recovery from bleeding, according to the Baveno VII consensus.

Recompensation is defined as all of the following criteria are met:

  1. removal/suppression/cure of the primary cause of cirrhosis (e.g., removal of hepatitis C virus, sustained suppression of hepatitis B virus, or sustained alcohol abstinence in alcoholic cirrhosis);
  2. resolution of ascites in the setting of discontinuation of diuretics, absence of HE in the setting of discontinuation of lactulose/rifaximin, and absence of recurrent variceal bleeding within at least 12 months;
