Trial Outcomes & Findings for Impact of Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunts on Liver Stiffness (NCT NCT03352882)

NCT ID: NCT03352882

Last Updated: 2019-10-01

Results Overview

The primary study endpoint will be decrease in liver stiffness following TIPS creation as measured by ARFI using mean propagation velocity values in meters per second. Mean normal values and mean values indicating severe fibrosis range about 0.8-1.7 m/s and about 1-3.4 m/s respectively. We hypothesize TIPS creation will reduce the liver stiffness by \> 50%. Change in liver stiffness will be correlated to change in PSG.

Measure
Open Label
All enrolled participants will undergo hepatic ultrasound with acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) before and 30 days after creation of TIPS. Ultrasound: Hepatic ultrasound using gray scale, color Doppler, and spectral Doppler imaging to evaluate hepatic vein and portal vein patency, direction and velocity of flow respectively. ARFI will be performed in the right hepatic lobe. Three measurements of stiffness (m/s) will be performed and the mean value recorded.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Pre-TIPS and 30 days Post-TIPS creation

Population: This study was terminated early due to low enrollment. Only 1 subject was ever enrolled and as such no data analysis was conducted.

The primary study endpoint will be decrease in liver stiffness following TIPS creation as measured by ARFI using mean propagation velocity values in meters per second. Mean normal values and mean values indicating severe fibrosis range about 0.8-1.7 m/s and about 1-3.4 m/s respectively. We hypothesize TIPS creation will reduce the liver stiffness by \> 50%. Change in liver stiffness will be correlated to change in PSG.
