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.
研究概览
详细说明
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.

武器和干预
参与者组/臂 |
干预/治疗 |
|---|---|
|
实验性的:Conventional treatment without propranolol
Patients are provided with conventional supportive treatment only, but without nonselective beta blockers.
|
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.
|
|
有源比较器:Conventional treatment combined with propranolol
Patients are administered with propranolol in addition to conventional treatment.
|
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.
