Effectiveness of intravenous immunoglobulin alone and intravenous immunoglobulin combined with high-dose aspirin in the acute stage of Kawasaki disease: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Background Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute febrile systemic vasculitis most commonly seen in children under 5 years old. High-dose aspirin is often administered, but the duration of such treatment varies. Many centers reduce the aspirin dose once the patient is afebrile, even before treating said patient with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). However, a randomized controlled trial regarding high-dose aspirin in the acute stage of KD has not previously been carried out. Methods/design This trial has been designed as a multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled, evaluator-blinded trial with two parallel groups to determine whether IVIG alone as the primary therapy in acute-stage KD is as effective as IVIG combined with high-dose aspirin therapy. The primary endpoint is defined as coronary artery lesion (CAL) formation at 6–8 weeks. Patients meeting the eligibility criteria are randomly assigned (1:1) to a test group (that receives only IVIG) or a standard group (that receives IVIG plus high-dose aspirin). This clinical trial is conducted at three medical centers in Taiwan. Discussion Since high-dose aspirin has significant anti-inflammatory and anti-platelet functions, it does not appear to affect disease outcomes. Furthermore, it can decrease hemoglobin levels. Therefore, we have initiated this randomized controlled trial to evaluate the necessity of high-dose aspirin in the acute stage of KD.
