Primary Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 72 hour NAC treatment regimen in the management of ACLF Secondary Objective To evaluate the six weeks mortality and length of hospital stay in ACLF patients treated with NAC Randomized, Double blind pilot study of IV N-Acetyl cysteine for the treatment of ACLF. Participants will be randomized into intervention and control arm using block randomization by computer generated random numbers. Efficacy will be assessed by clinical improvement in symptoms and signs of decompensated chronic liver disease (CLD). To assess safety degree of adverse reactions will be observed. Periodic assessments until 28 day will be done consisting of Physical exam, safety assessments, vital signs and lab tests. Dose of Drug: 72 hour regimen consisting of three doses of intravenous N-Acetyl cysteine will be used for a total dose of 300mg/kg. Number of Patients: 100 Accrual period: 15 months
The definition and diagnostic criteria of acute-on chronic liver failure (ACLF) differed evidently between the East and the West due to the difference in the underlying etiology. Liver transplantation is the most effective treatment to reverse the progress of ACLF and improve the survival rate of patients. The purpose of this study is to explore the accuracy of the two diagnostic criteria of EASL-CLIF and APASL ACLF in assessing the survival rate of patients with liver cirrhosis after LT.
ACLF and cirrhotic patient have deranged coagulation parameters and this coagulation parameters altered when this group of patients undergoing dialysis because of renal failure. this group of patients is also high risk of sepsis. Most common organ involved during sepsis leading to organ failure is renal. So, all this cascade increases the risk of bleeding as well as coagulation failure. Currently there are no studies evaluation the coagulation status in patients with cirrhosis undergoing dialysis. Further there are no studies evaluating the utility of these global tests of coagulation as a guide to judicious blood transfusion in these patients to prevent bleeding. Further there are no studies comparing the two different modalities of assessment.
Acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a type of critically ill liver disease with high short-term mortality in liver disease. Liver transplantation is currently the only method to improve survival. Current clinical research evidence shows that mesenchymal stem cells can reduce the mortality of ACLF patients and are safe. This study aims to explore the safety of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) in the treatment of ACLF. The study population is ACLF patients with 1-2 organ failures. To explore the safety of 3 doses of UC-MSCs, 16 patients need to be enrolled. The main observation indicators are the short-term and long-term safety of the treatment. All patients need to receive the standard medical treatment (SMT) at the same time. Stem cell treatment is given by intravenous infusion on the first, fourth, seventh, and tenth day. The occurrence of adverse events (AE) and serious adverse events(SAE) before and after the infusion will be observed. After the patient is discharged from the hospital, patients will be followed , the follow-up time is 5 years.
A phase 2a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter, proof-of-concept study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of TAK-242 in subjects with acute decompensation of alcohol-related cirrhosis due to alcoholic hepatitis resulting in acute-on-chronic liver failure.
The patients with ACLF having Ascites who require ascitic tapping will undergone ascitic tapeither under albumin cover alone or with midodrine. The patient will be monitored for complication and changes of PICD. Study analysis will be done with primary objective being reduction in incidence of PICD.
Pretransplant hepatoencephalopathy (HE) markedly impacts recipient outcomes after liver transplantation. Intraoperative CRRT showed benefits but feasibility was much concerned. This study aims to observe the effect on consciousness recovery when initiating CRRT early in the post-transplant period in recipients with ACLF and overt HE.
This study is to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of RL-1 Novel Human-derived Bio-artificial Liver treatment in patients with Hepatitis b virus related acute-on-chronic liver failure.
Patients with Acute on Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF) have high short-term mortality. The use of a severity score could define the patient's prognosis and would help determine in whom the treatment is effective or futile.
