NCT05021406

Brief Summary

Patients who have completed 2-years treatment in RCT Study of carvedilol will receive another 2-years extension therapy, aiming to investigate the long-term efficacy of carvedilol for the prevention of esophageal varices in treated HBV cirrhotic patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The progression incidence of esophageal varices after 4-year therapy

    Progression of esophageal varices defines as follows: 1. Varices developed from small (F1) to medium or large (F2/F3) 2. Varices developed from medium (F2) to large (F3) 3. New-onset red sign without change in the degree of varices. 4. Bleeding from esophageal varices.

    4-year

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • The incidence of liver cirrhosis decompensation

    4-year

  • The incidence of hepatic cellular carcinoma, death or liver transplantation.

    4-year

  • The change of non-invasive assessment score reflecting liver fibrosis.

    4-year

  • The change of non-invasive assessment score reflecting liver function.

    4-year

  • The dynamic change of liver stiffness quantified by transient elastography.

    4-year

Study Arms (2)

Carvedilol+ NUCs therapy

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients randomized to Carvedilol combined with NUCs group during the previous 2-year treatment of RCT study; Patients showed the progression of esophageal varices in NUCs group during the 2-year treatment of RCT study. Based on nucleoside analogue (NUCs), carvedilol will be added to the patients. Carvedilol is started at a dose of 6.25 mg once per day, and will increase to a dose of 12.5 mg once per day after 1 week. Target dose will be maintained at 12.5 mg once per day if patients with systolic blood pressure not lower than 90 mm Hg and HR no less than 50 beats/min.

Drug: Carvedilol 12.5 MG

NUCs therapy

NO INTERVENTION

Continuing take single or combined nucleoside analogue (NUCs) including lamivudine (LAM), adefovir dipivoxil (ADV), entecavir (ETV), telbivudine (TBV), tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF).

Interventions

Carvedilol is started at a dose of 6.25 mg once per day, and will increase to a dose of 12.5 mg once per day after 1 week. Target dose will be maintained at 12.5 mg once per day if patients with systolic blood pressure not lower than 90 mm Hg and HR no less than 50 beats/min.
