NCT06922669 | NOT YET RECRUITING | Drug Induced Liver Injury

Glucocorticoids for Acute Drug Induced Liver Injury With Hyperbilirubinemia
Sponsor:

General Hospital of Shenyang Military Region

Information provided by (Responsible Party):

Brief Summary:

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) can lead to potentially fatal complications, such as acute liver failure and even death. In clinical practice, glucocorticoids have been considered in some cases of DILI, especially patients with hyperbilirubinemia. However, the available evidence remains controversial and its quality is also very limited. Herein, a multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) has been designed to explore the efficacy and safety of glucocorticoids in patients with acute DILI and hyperbilirubinemia.

Condition or disease

Drug Induced Liver Injury

Intervention/treatment

Methylprednisolone

Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate

Glutathione

Silymarin

Polyene Phosphatidylcholine

Ursodeoxycholic acid capsules

Ademetionine 1,4-Butanedisulfonate

Plaslna exchange

Liver transplantation

Phase

NA

Detailed Description:

Overall, 232 patients with acute DILI with hyperbilirubinemia will be enrolled. They will be randomly assigned at a ratio of 1:1 to the conventional treatment alone or combined with glucocorticoids groups. The primary endpoint is the improvement of DILI after treatment on second week. Secondary endpoints include the improvement of DILI on fourth week, rates of progressive liver injury, liver failure, liver transplantation, survival, and adverse events. Exploratory endpoints will assess the beneficial population and changes of inflammatory factors following glucocorticoid treatment.
