Fibrosis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Identification of Biomarkers Related to Liver Fibrosis as New Therapeutic Targets
Fibrosis is a dynamic process resulting from the balance of fibrogenesis and fibrolysis, mainly secondary to chronic necro-inflammation related to regular alcohol consumption, metabolic syndrome (NASH) or viral hepatitis. The liver has the property of allowing the reversion of fibrosis / cirrhosis when the necrotic-inflammatory activity is controlled. The balance between fibrosis / fibrolysis and its inhibition depends on many pathways and the hypothesis of the efficacy of a single treatment remains uncertain. Molecular factors in the progression of liver fibrosis should be determined. It is necessary to control the liver fibrosis and thus reduce the risk of carcinoma in this population. The anti-fibrotic drugs are being developed, but so far only alpha-tocopherol and obeticholic acid have been shown to have a significant anti-fibrotic effect in humans. Several new drugs are currently being evaluated in ongoing Phase 2 and 3 randomized clinical trials, but most of them have intrinsic limitations: (i) they take a long time for evaluation (> 3 years), ( ii) they generally require an histopathological evaluation by serial liver biopsies that are invasive and unpopular with patients who are aware of noninvasive tests for fibrosis assessment and (iii) treatment is often a single treatment versus a placebo group with the uncertainty that at 1 or 3 years, serial liver biopsies results are convincing.
The study will be performed in 30 patients. Patients will be enrolled in two investigators sites (Cochin Hospital, Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital, France) where the patient selection will be conducted during a Multidisciplinary Collaborative Meeting. The patients will be enrolled after collecting their informed consent. As soon as the patient is included, arrangements will be made for the organization of the liver resection according to the usual procedure of the hospital department. The biological samples for the research (blood and liver) will be taken at the time of the surgery and sent to the Research Unit (Institut Pasteur) where immunological analyses will be carried out. ;
