Study of Combined Human Albumin and Enoxaparin Treatment in Adults With Decompensated Liver Cirrhosis at High Risk of Poor Outcomes

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating a new combined therapy using human albumin and enoxaparin in patients with decompensated cirrhosis who are discharged from the hospital. The study aims to determine if this combined treatment is safe, tolerable, effective, and whether it costs more or less compared to standard medical treatment. This Phase 2 clinical trial will compare patients receiving the combinatorial therapy plus standard care to those receiving only standard care to see how they respond over time. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups one group receives standard medical treatment along with the combined therapy of enoxaparin and human albumin, while the control group receives only standard medical treatment. The study involves treatment and follow-up over a period that includes monitoring at 30, 90, and 180 days after baseline to assess various health outcomes and complications. During the study, participants will attend visits where researchers will perform tests to track disease progression and response to treatment. Assessments include monitoring adverse events such as pulmonary edema, bleeding, and thrombocytopenia, as well as changes in liver and kidney function, hospital readmissions, survival rates, quality of life measures, and overall healthcare costs. Safety and tolerability are closely observed from baseline to day 90, with continued evaluation up to 180 days. Total study participation may last about six months from baseline.
