Filter by:The study was a dose-ranging, 18-week study comparing two doses of HTD1801 (500 mg BID and 1000 mg BID) to placebo in adult subjects with PSC.
This is a randomized, double blind, single center, ascending single dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of HTD1801.
Based upon the possible implication of microbiota and abnormal microbial metabolites such as altered bile acids, in the pathogenesis of PSC, emerging data suggests that oral antibiotics, such as vancomycin and metronidazole, may have therapeutic effects in this overlap syndrome or PSC. The goal of our study is to evaluate role of antibiotics and microflora in children with AIH/PSC overlap syndrome or with PSC alone. The investigators hope to learn what effects oral antibiotics has on the bacteria present in stool, and hope to learn to characterize human intestinal microbial communities, in children suffering from overlap syndrome or PSC. The hypothesis of the investigators is that overlap syndrome and PSC develop due to altered microflora and the resulting abnormal bile acids pool. The outcome of overlap syndrome or PSC could be affected by presence or absence of RCUH. Antibiotics to correct the microflora may result in disease/cholangiopathy remission.
This observational study of a national cohort of 600 Swedish PSC patients include yearly MR/MRCP, biobanking of serum, plasma and blood, followup clinical data (interventions, symptoms, labs, colonoscopy). The aim is to collect a well characterized cohort of PSC patients and provide future possibilities to evaluate biomarkers for prognosis and early cancer detection.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether curcumin, a drug and naturally-occurring plant compound, is safe and effective in the treatment of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).
This study aim to evaluated the effectiveness of Digital SpyGlass Cholangioscopy to facilitate common bile duct stone removal without fluoroscopy
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of cilofexor in adults with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) include Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). These diseases are a public health problem because they concern many patients (1 case in 1000). IBDs are characterized by dysregulated immune response against luminal antigens causing chronic inflammation of the gut in genetically predisposed individuals. Their exact cause is unknown and there is currently no cure. The primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a liver inflammatory disease of unknown origin that is known to be strongly associated with IBD. An important clinical observation highlights the mild symptoms of IBD when associated to the PSC. Conversely, treating PSC by liver transplant or immunosuppressive drugs is associated with a progression of intestinal inflammation. Based, on these clinical findings that suggest a protective effect regulator of liver inflammation on intestinal inflammation, and on the results obtained by our group in mouse models that identified the natural killer T cell (NKT) as essential in control of experimental colitis, the project aims to determine, using PCR, if the expression of NKT cell markers are increased in the colon of patients with PSC+IBD compared to patients with IBD alone or PSC alone.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the single-dose pharmacokinetics of cilofexor in adults with impaired hepatic function relative to matched, healthy controls with normal hepatic function.
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) 1. Prospectively validate interpretation criteria for the characterization of PSC strictures 2. Prospectively evaluate the accuracy of pCLE for the characterization of PSC strictures (differentiation between malignant vs. non malignant strictures), using the newly developed interpretation criteria 3. Evaluate the feasibility and safety of pCLE for the characterization of PSC strictures
