Assessment

Primary outcomes

The rate of patients whose time to next paracentesis are evaluable.

Key secondary outcomes

The period until ascites reaccumulation(e.g., Time to next paracentesis, paracentesis-free survival, abdominal distention relapse-free period, abdminal circumference rebound-free period, and paracentesis request-free period), intensity of ascites-related symptoms, and adverse events.

Interventions/Control_1

In this fast-track RCT, patients are randomised either to an intervention group, where they receive concentrated ascites reinfusion therapy(CART), or the control group, whrer they receive paracentesis only. After the first intervention, patients receive the opposite treatment when their ascites are reaccumulated.

Paracentesis:
Paracentesis is performed under sterile conditions and local anethesia. A 20 gauge aspiration needle is inserted into the peritoneal cavity in the left or right lower quadrant and ascitic fluid is removed by gravity in one to two hours. The removal volume of ascitic fluid is around 2000mL.

Interventions/Control_2

CART:
1) paracentesis
2) Removed ascitic fluid is filtrated with AHF-MOW (Asahi Kasei Medical, Tokyo, Japan), and is concentrated in about one-tenth with AHF-UP (Asahi Kasei Medical, Tokyo).
3) The filtered and concentrated ascetic fluid is reinfused into the patient via a
peripheral vein by 50-100mL/hour. To prevent fever up, acetaminophen 400mg is infused before ascites reinfusion.

Results

This study was an open-label, fast-track, randomized controlled, feasibility trial. Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to a CART arm or control (simple paracentesis) arm. The feasibility endpoint was the percentage of patients who completed the study intervention.

Of 20 patients allocated, 18 patients (90%, 95% CI: 68.3-98.8) completed the study intervention.

A fast-track randomized controlled trial of CART for patients with malignant ascites is feasible.

Baseline Characteristics

The median age was 71.5, and 80% were female. All patients had an ECOG performance status of 3 or 4. The most frequent primary tumor site was the pancreas (25%), followed by the gastrointestine (20%), and liver and bile duct (15%). Massive liver metastasis existed in 30% of patients.

Participant flow

We screened 953 patients for eligibility. Of 61 patients with refractory malignant ascites, 21 patients were determined as eligible. Finally, 20 patients consented and were allocated

Adverse events

One patient in the CART arm developed Grade 1 fever.

Outcome measures

18 patients (90%, 95% CI: 68.3-98.8) completed the study intervention. Median paracentesis-free survivals were 5 days (95% CI: 2-6) in the CART arm, and 6 days (3-9) in the control arm. Median PRO-paracentesis-free survivals were 4 days (2-5) and 5 days (1-9), respectively.
