Study summary

Clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) is defined as HVPG >10 mmHg. Patients with CSPH are at risk of developing esophageal varices and clinical decompensation (variceal bleeding, ascites, jaundice, encephalopathy), which mark the transition from compensated stage to a stage of the disease (decompensated) associated with higher mortality (1). HVPG is calculated by subtracting the free hepatic venous pressure (FHVP), a measure of systemic pressure, from the wedged hepatic venous pressure (WHVP), a measure of hepatic sinusoidal pressure. HVPG is surrogate marker in many clinical applications such as gold standard test to evaluate presence and severity of portal hypertension (PHT) diagnosis, risk stratification, monitoring of the patients on beta blockers (2). Non selective beta-blockers like propranolol and carvedilol are indicated in adults for primary and secondary prophylaxis of variceal hemorrhage. Acute hemodynamic response to intravenous propranolol with HVPG values coming down to \<12 mm Hg or reduction to >20% from baseline have been shown to be associated with reduced long term risk of variceal bleed. Hence we are planning the current work to study the Acute hemodynamiC response To Carvedilol predicts survival in ACLF patients - "ACT - C ACLF study

Read the detailed description

To assess whether Acute hemodynamic response to oral Carvedilol can predict short term outcome in ACLF patients.

  • To determine the best cut off to define acute hemodynamic response in ACLF patients

Primary outcome - Predictive value of acute HVPG change by carvedilol for 28 day transplant free survival in patients of ACLF

Secondary outcome -

(1) Complications [PHT related bleed, AKI, infections, HE, Hypotension, Cardiac side effect] within 90 days (2) Transplant-free survival rate at 90 days (3) Correlation with evolution of AARC score by 2 week

(b) Methodology

Study population: Patients of age 18 to 70 years with ACLF fulfilling the conditions as per inclusion and exclusion criteria

Baseline parameters that will be recorded:

  1. Baseline characteristics:
  2. History and etiology of liver disease
  3. Symptomatology, Evidence of decompensation (jaundice, encephalopathy, ascites, infections, variceal bleed etc)
  4. Clinical and demographic profile
  5. Endoscopy

Stopping rule of study:

  1. Progression to exclusion criteria
  2. In case of hypotension(\<90/60mmHg) or Heart Rate \<60 after carvedilol
  3. Potential liver transplant within 90 days

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Mar 2024; primary completion for Feb 2026, 23 months later.

Of 38 observational studies under Acute-On-Chronic Liver Failure, half reached primary completion within 26 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 65. This study's planned 23 months is below that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 7, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
