Active clinical trials for "Ascites"

The primary objective of this study was to compare the time between paracenteses before and after administration of Aflibercept (ziv-aflibercept, AVE0005, VEGF trap, ZALTRAP®) in ovarian cancer participants with symptomatic malignant ascites. The secondary objectives were to further assess efficacy and safety of Aflibercept treatment, and the exploratory objectives were to assess pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity and health-related quality of life.

This clinical trial compares a combination of two drugs that constrict blood vessels (Octreotide LAR and Midodrine) to albumin after large volume paracentesis. Subjects have cirrhosis and ascites.

Assessment of effectiveness, safety and local immune activation of Oncolytic Viruses H101 in patients with refractory malignant ascites.

This trial adopts a single-center, randomized, double-blind, dose-escalation, placebo-controlled design to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of a single administration of recombinant human serum albumin in healthy subjects Kinetics and anti-drug antibody characteristics. Qualified healthy subjects (both male and female) were screened and enrolled to the four dose levels of 2 g, 5 g, 10 g, and 20 g according to the principle of dose escalation, and 6 out of 8 subjects in each dose group One patient received the test drug, and two received a placebo.

To observe the safety/efficacy of tolvaptan for treatment of patients with hepatic cirrhosis with ascites and exploring the dosage-effect relations of the drug.

This is a multicentre, open, randomised, and controlled trial conducted in sixty (60) patients diagnosed with refractory or recurrent ascites. Patients will be randomised (enrolled) to either treatment arm A- implanted with the ALFApump System or treatment arm B-standard of care with evacuation large volume paracentesis. The main aims of the study are to determine the paracentesis free survival, defined as the time to the first large volume therapeutic paracentesis > 5 litres. The secondary aims are to assess non-inferiority of cirrhosis-related complications in the group of patients randomized to the ALFApump system group, as well as nutritional effects, resource utilisation, patient quality of life and survival non-inferiority.

This trial studies efficacy and safety of combination of modulated electro-hyperthermia (mEHT) with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis with malignant ascites versus standard chemoinfusion (CDDP+5FU).

Low-dose continuous infusion of terlipressin will be administered to six cirrhotic patients with refractory ascites.

Effects of long term albumin administration on the cardiocirculatory and renal function and hepatic hemodynamics in patients with advanced cirrhosis and ascites.

Ascites is a common complication of cirrhosis. Sodium restriction and diuretics are the first step treatment. Refractory ascites (not responding to first step treatment) is treated with repeated large volume paracentesis followed by intra venous albumin expansion. In pilot studies vasoconstrictor agents such as terlipressin have shown beneficial effect on ascites production. Therefore the investigators will study the effect of combined therapy with albumin and terlipressin on recidivation ascites.
