About this study

Official title: Impact of Integrating an Addiction Team on Post Liver Transplantation Survival for Alcohol-related Liver Disease and Its Complications: a Multicenter Retrospective Comparative Study.

Investigator seeks to determine wether integrating an addiction team into a liver transplantation unit improves the prognosis of patients with alcohol-related liver disease requiring liver transplantation. Our hypothesis is that patients managed by an addiction team before and after liver transplantation have less frequent alcohol relapses, thus decreasing the risk of cardiovascular complications, de novo cancer, recurrence of alcohol-related cirrhosis, and consequently increasing their overall survival.

Read the detailed description

In this observational, retrospective and multicentre study, investigator seek to determine the effect of integrating an addiction team into liver transplantation unit on prognosis of patients with alcohol-related liver disease requiring liver transplantation. Investigatore plan to compare patients in 2 groups, depending on whether they have received or not specific addiction care before and after transplantation. This study was conducted over a period of 15 years in three French liver transplant units.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Overall survival of patients transplanted for alcoholic liver disease.

    Patient time (delay between date of transplantation and date of last news) + state (alive or deceased)

    Measured: Date of last news (at least 5 years for surviving patients)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Alcohol relapse rate

    Number of patients with alcohol relapse among all transplanted patients.

    Measured: Date of last news (at least 5 years for surviving)

  2. Severe alcohol relapse rate

    Number of patients with severe alcohol relapse among all transplanted patients

    Measured: Date of last news (at least 5 years for surviving)

  3. Rate of alcohol-related cirrhosis recurrence

    Number of patients with alcohol-related cirrhosis among all transplanted patients.

    Measured: Date of last news (at least 5 years for surviving)

  4. Rate of development of cardiovascular risk factors

    Number of patients developing one or more cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, smoking) among all transplanted patients.

    Measured: Date of last news (at least 5 years for surviving)

  5. Cardiovascular event rate

    Number of patients with one or more cardiovascular events (coronary syndrome, stroke, arterial disease) among all transplant patients.

    Measured: Date of last news (at least 5 years for surviving)

  6. De novo cancer-free survival

    Number of patients developing de novo cancer as a function of time among all transplanted patients

    Measured: Date of last news (at least 5 years for surviving)

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jul 2021. 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 France. 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. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall survival of patients transplanted for alcoholic liver disease. (time frame: Date of last news (at least 5 years for surviving patients)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04964687, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 Jul 2021.
