Is this trial a fit for you?

Ideal candidates for this study are hospitalized patients over 20 years old who have ingested acetaminophen in amounts exceeding 150 mg/kg.

Probably not a fit

Patients with severe liver failure or those requiring immediate liver transplantation will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to assess the efficacy and safety of TYNADOTE® in patients who have experienced an acetaminophen overdose. The study will involve a 21-day treatment period where eligible participants will be randomized to receive either TYNADOTE® or a placebo alongside standard intravenous N-acetylcysteine (NAC) therapy. Participants will undergo various assessments, including vital sign monitoring and blood tests to evaluate liver function and drug concentration levels. The goal is to determine if TYNADOTE® can improve outcomes in patients suffering from acute liver failure due to acetaminophen toxicity.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve recovery outcomes for patients with acetaminophen overdose.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown positive outcomes with NAC therapy for acetaminophen overdose, but the use of TYNADOTE® in this context is a novel approach.
