Placebo-controlled Study of NPB-06 in Patients With Portal Vein Thrombosis

NCT ID: NCT02250391

Last Updated: 2016-09-09

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE3
• Total Enrollment: 72 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2014-09-30
• Study Completion Date: 2016-03-31

Brief Summary

Patients with portal vein thrombosis, who have chronic liver diseases especially liver cirrhosis associated with low levels of AT III, will receive intravenous injection of NPB-06 or placebo. The superiority of NPB-06 to placebo as anticoagulative agent will be verified in a randomized, double-blind, parallel-assignment design based on the proportion of patients obtained complete recanalization or partial recanalization of portal vein thrombosis.

The safety of NPB-06 will be evaluated based on adverse events and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) observed between administration and 21 days after administration in comparison with the placebo group.
