Groups2
Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Prednisone | Standard of care plus prednisone 40 mg orally once daily on Days 1-30 and matching placebos for Anakinra (1 syringe s.c. once daily on Days 1-14), and zinc (matched pill once daily on Days 1-90).~Prednisone: Prednisone is indicated for numerous conditions including inflammatory disease.~Corticosteroids, such as prednisolone, are considered standard of care in alcoholic liver disease. | 12 | 73 | EG000 |
| Group 2 | Anakinra and Zinc | Standard of care plus Anakinra (100 mg s.c.) once daily on Days 1-14 zinc sulfate 220 mg once daily on Days 1-90, and placebo for prednisone (matched pill once daily on Days 1-30).~Anakinra and Zinc: Anakinra is indicated for reduction in signs and symptoms and slowing the progression of structural damage in moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis. It has been previously studied in AH. Zinc is a nutritional supplement. Zinc supplementation reverses the clinical signs of zinc deficiency in participants with alcoholic liver disease. | 22 | 74 | EG001 |
