Summary

Study Design: Double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial

Study Duration:2 years

Study Center: Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, Barcelona (single center)

Objectives: To assess the effect of adjunctive Vivomixx® on bacterial translocation in patients with cirrhosis and SBP

Number of Subjects: 30

Main Inclusion Criteria: Patients with cirrhosis hospitalized with an episode of SBP at Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau

Study Product, Dose, Route, Regimen: Vivomixx ® sachets containing 450 x 109 bacteria, 2 every 12 hours during hospitalization (n=15), or placebo (n=15)

Duration of administration: During hospitalization due to SBP episode

Hypothesis: The adjunctive treatment with Vivomixx® in patients with cirrhosis and SBP could decrease bacterial translocation and systemic and cerebral proinflammatory state. This would result in a faster SBP resolution, a decrease in the incidence of complications and an improvement in cognitive function.
