Computer model may help tailor blood pressure meds for liver patients

NCT ID NCT07397481

First seen Feb 19, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether a computer program (Simcyp) could predict the right doses of two blood pressure drugs, nebivolol and carvedilol, for people with liver cirrhosis and high blood pressure. Forty patients were randomly assigned to one of the two drugs and monitored for three months. Researchers measured blood pressure, liver blood flow, and side effects to see if the computer-guided doses worked well in real life.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Nebivolol and carvedilol (blood pressure medications)

What this could lead to

If successful, this approach could help doctors choose safer, more effective doses of blood pressure drugs for patients with liver cirrhosis.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early pilot study with only 40 patients, so results may not apply to everyone. The computer predictions need more testing before routine use.
