Study comparing fluid pills with and without albumin halted early

NCT ID NCT04216784

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 29 times

Summary

This study looked at whether adding albumin (a protein) to a standard water pill (furosemide) helps people with cirrhosis remove excess fluid better than the water pill alone. The trial planned to enroll adults with cirrhosis and fluid buildup, but it was stopped early because the cost of albumin was not covered. No results were collected from enrolled patients.
