Filter by:The study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study. It is a 13-week Phase 2 study in adults with primary biliary cirrhosis designed to compare the effect of daily dosing with UDCA in combination with LUM001 or placebo.
This will be a randomized double blind study which will be conducted on patients admitted to Department of Hepatology from June 2013 to may 2014 at ILBS, New Delhi. Patients not having any exclusion criteria will undergo bone marrow examination and liver biopsy at the baseline. 60 patients of decompensated cirrhosis will be randomised into two limbs- limb A (30 patients) will receive G-CSF and erythropoietin while those on limb B (30 patients) will receive G-CSF alone. The drugs will be given for 2 months and patient will be followed for 1 year. G-CSF will be given at a dose of 5 µg/kg s/c at days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and then every 3rd day till day 60 (total 22 doses). Erythropoietin will be given s/c at dose of 500 IU/Kg twice a week for 2 months. Follow up will be done on days 0,3,7,14,28, day 42 (6 weeks), day 60 (2 months), day 90 (3 months), day 180 (6 months), day 270 (9 months); and day 360 (1 year).
This will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess safety and tolerability of GSK2330672 administration in subjects with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and symptoms of pruritus. It is a double-blind, crossover study with subjects receiving placebo or GSK23306772 in random order during two 14-day treatment periods. Additionally, the study will determine GSK2330672 exposure and interactions with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). The total duration of subject participation will be 14 weeks for screening (45 days) and the treatment period. Subjects who are eligible for enrolment will participate in a 2-week placebo run-in period. Subjects will be randomized in a crossover fashion (Sequence 1 / Sequence 2) to receive placebo or GSK2330672 treatment during two consecutive 2-week study periods. Subjects will then participate in a 2-week placebo dosing follow-up period ending in final follow-up assessments. Study results will be utilized to form a benefit: risk profile for GSK2330672 in PBC that will determine plans for progression to exploratory efficacy trials
This is a Phase 3, 2 part (Part A and Part B), open label, multicenter study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of lumacaftor in combination with ivacaftor in subjects with cystic fibrosis aged 6 to 11 years who have the F508del-mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene.
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of pamrevlumab in participants with IPF, and the efficacy of pamrevlumab in slowing the loss of forced vital capacity (FVC) and the progression of IPF in these participants.
The primary aim of the research is to evaluate whether an alternative model of cystic fibrosis (CF) physiotherapy care can produce statistically significant improvements in clinical and patient reported outcomes, and whether this alternative model is economically advantageous and/or sustainable. Children randomised to the control group will receive 24-months of current model of CF care at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). Children randomised to the intervention group will receive 24-months of current model of CF care at GOSH PLUS a weekly structured, individually prescribed and personally supervised exercise intervention at a local fitness facility or at school. The exercise prescription will include aerobic, anaerobic, strength, core conditioning and stretching components. The main objectives of the study are: 1. Determine differences, if any, in lung function between the two groups; 2. Determine differences, if any, in exercise capacity between the two groups; 3. Evaluate cost of care of alternate model of care versus current model of care.
Background: - Some people who have chronic hepatitis C do not respond to the usual treatment with peginterferon and ribavirin. New chronic hepatitis treatments are being developed that may work better for different people. The treatments will look at how specific genes interact with the drugs. Researchers want to see how well these new drugs work in people whose chronic hepatitis C has not responded or only partly responded to the usual treatment drugs. Objectives: - To compare new treatments for people with chronic hepatitis C. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have chronic hepatitis C that has not responded to standard treatments. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected. Liver scans and a biopsy will be taken before the start of treatment. - Participants will be separated into two groups. One group will have the new treatment drugs (assunaprevir and daclatasvir). The second group will have these two drugs as well as peginterferon and ribavirin. All participants will have an initial 4-day hospital stay with regular blood tests to see how the start of the treatment works. - The first group will take the new study drug tablets daily for 24 weeks. Those who do not respond to this treatment will also start to take peginterferon and ribavirin, and the treatment will continue for 24 weeks after starting the additional drugs. - The second group will take all four drugs according to the standard dosing schedule for 24 weeks. - Treatment will be monitored with frequent blood tests. Liver scans, biopsies, and other tests will be performed as directed by the study doctors. - Participants will have 24 weeks of regular followup visits.
The investigators are developing a new nuclear medicine imaging technique for measuring liquid absorption in the airways that can be applied to screen new medications being developed to treat cystic fibrosis (CF). The investigators believe that the absorption of the small molecule radiopharmaceutical Indium 111 diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (In-DTPA) will indicate changes in liquid absorption in the airways and demonstrate whether new CF medications will be effective. In this study the investigators will determine whether the imaging technique will demonstrate similar results when it is repeated on different days. They will also determine how their results change when subjects utilize several common CF medications.
The objective of this clinical trial is to compare the response rate obtained with two different vaccination schemes against HBV in cirrhotic patients. These patients must be candidates for liver transplantation, who have failed seroconversion (anti-HBs < 10 IU/ml) after three intramuscular doses of 40 µg.
It is hypothesised that inhaled mannitol 400 mg b.d. will lead to a significant improvement in the absolute change in percentage of predicted FEV1 from baseline following eight-weeks of trial treatment compared to treatment with inhaled placebo b.d. Any improvement in FEV1 is considered clinically meaningful; however, this trial has set a threshold of 3% for the purposes of determining an appropriate sample size for statistical power whilst retaining trial feasibility in an orphan disease population.
