Prospective, Randomized, Open-Label, Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Intensive Glycemic Control on Outcomes Following Liver Transplantation
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Insulin for Evidence of Liver Transplantation and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 164 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Many but not all studies have shown improvement in morbidity and mortality with intensive glycemic management postoperatively. In this study, the investigators propose to determine whether improved glycemic control using intensive insulin treatment immediately postoperatively will improve outcomes in patients undergoing liver transplant using a prospective, controlled, randomized, parallel-group study design targeting two different glucose levels, 140 and 180 mg/dL.
