About this study

Official title: Impact of Pre-treatment of Living-donor Liver Transplant Recipients With Omega 3 Enriched Lipid Emulsions on Graft and Patient Outcome. A Prospective, Randomized, Multi-central Trial.

The study Aims to investigate the possible beneficial impact of peri-operative or post-operative administration of Omega 3 enriched lipid emulsions on recipients for living donor liver transplantation.

Read the detailed description

Patients will be divided intro three groups, A control group will receive equivalent volume of glucose 10% solution both 3 days before and 5 days after the operation .

A peri-operative groups, in which patients will receive omega 3 enriched lipid emulsion (SMOFLipid) for 2 days pre-transplantation and 5 days post-transplantation A Post-operative group, in which patients will receive glucose 10% 3 days before the operation and omega 3 enriched lipid emulsion (SMOFLipid) for 5 days post-transplantation The primary outcome objective will be the incidence of Ischemia re-perfusion injury, secondary outcomes includes post-operative complications, graft and patient's outcomes and graft regeneration

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • SMOFLipidDietary supplement

    Also called Omega 3 lipid emulsions

  • equivalent volume of 10% glucose solutionDietary supplement

    Also called control group

    Patients will receive same dose of 10% glucose solution for 2 days pre operatives and 5 days post-operative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SMOFLipid and equivalent volume of 10% glucose solution in people with Ischemia Re-perfusion Injury, run by Mansoura University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Amr M Yassen, Md (+201001497044, amryassen@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Ischemia reperfusion injury (time frame: 5 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Mar 2017.
