Filter by:The study will evaluate the influence of hepatic insufficiency on the PK of ACP-196.
Cirrhosis is a condition characterized by diffuse fibrosis, severe disruption of the intrahepatic arterial and venous flow, portal hypertension and, ultimately, liver cell failure. Traditionally, cirrhosis has been dichotomised in compensated and decompensated, and the transition to decompensated cirrhosis happens when any of the following hallmarks occurs: presence of ascites, variceal haemorrhage and/ or hepatic encephalopathy (HE) . In Egypt, HCV is the main cause of liver cirrhosis followed by HBV
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of hepatic impairment on the systemic pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of icenticaftor in participants with varying degrees of hepatic impairment.
Introduction: Hepatic insufficiency is a complication that puts the life of the patient undergoing resective surgery at risk. Thus, the diagnosis should be made early. The current gold standard allows its diagnosis on the fifth postoperative day. Indocyanine green is a water soluble dye. When administered intravenously, it binds to plasma proteins and it is removed unchanged by bile, without experiencing enterohepatic recirculation, which allows estimating the function of hepatocytes and the function of hepato-splacnic flow. There is a measurement system named "Non-invasive liver function monitor" (LiMON®, PULSION Medical Systems, Munich, Germany), which allows the measurement of indocyanine green clearance at the patient's bedside. Justification: The use of indocyanine green plasma disappearance during the perioperative period tries to know the exact value of the hepatic function in the most real conditions, when the excision has been performed, thus giving the investigators the actual value of the unresected liver. This allows te investigators to estimate the risk of hepatic insufficiency development that can lead to hepatic failure. Due to the characteristics of the test, it could get reliable results earlier than the current "gold standard " (50:50 Criteria on the 5th postoperative day). Hypotheses and Objectives: The investigators hypothesized that the determination of the hepatic reserve by identifying the indocyanine plasma clearance in real time after hepatic parenchymal resection could lead to a more accurate and earlier statement of the hepatic reserve than current tests. The aim of the study is to determine the usefulness of indocyanine green in the perioperative period to early diagnosis of hepatic failure. Materials and Methods: A prospective observational post-authorization study (EPA-SP) is performed to study de usefulness of indocyanine green. The study was approved by the Ethics and Clinical Research Committee of the University General Hospital of Ciudad Real. Surgical patients scheduled for liver surgery, who agreed to be included in the study and signed an informed consent, were included in the study over a two-year period, after having understood the study objectives and its possible complications. Measurements were performed with the LiMON® monitor prior to liver resection and on the first postoperative day to patients undergoing liver resection surgery and compared with gold standard.
Major liver surgery is associated with increased incidence of perioperative complications and increased mortality if these are not addressed quickly in a high dependency intensive care unit. Of these, posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) represents one of the most important cause of postoperative unfavourable outcome. The present study investigates the correlation between lactate levels and PHLF. Lactate levels were collected at six specific timepoints: preoperative, pre-dissection phase, post-dissection phase, end of surgery and 24-hours and 48-hours in the postoperative period.
Acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a distinct entity where, because of severe acute hepatic injury, a rapid loss of liver function develops in a patient with previous chronic liver disease(4). These patients have severe hepatic dysfunction, and outcome is defined by functional hepatic reserve and extent of extra-hepatic organ failures(5). Renal failure is a frequent extra-hepatic organ failure, and its presence is an independent prognostic marker for mortality(12). The pathophysiological basis of renal dysfunction in patients with ACLF is different compared to those with decompensated cirrhosis (DC)(6). Systemic inflammation is the hallmark of ACLF, characterized by a cytokine storm wherein there is an increase in both pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-1β, and IL-10, leading to circulatory dysfunction and organ failure(3). These patients therefore have a higher incidence and progression of acute kidney injury (AKI). Diagnosis of HRS-AKI in ACLF currently requires 48 h of volume repletion with albumin and diuretic withdrawal. Therefore waiting for 48 hours to start treatment with terlipressin can be associated with worsening of AKI stage, worsening of ACLF stage and thereby suboptimal treatment response and high mortality despite treatment response. Therefore early initiation of terlipressin as continuous infusion after volume repletion with IV albumin in ACLF-AKI is safe and prevents AKI progression by splanchnic vasoconstriction and improved renal perfusion.
Bowel colonization with anti-microbial resistant bacteria increases the risk of clinical infections. Infections caused by anti-microbial resistant bacteria have been associated with increased mortality, prolonged hospital stay, and increased costs. In addition, with the emergence of carbapenemase resistant bacterial species, there may not be any effective therapy for patients infected with such resistant species. Bowel colonization with anti-microbial resistant bacteria is an established risk factor for infections due to resistant bacteria, especially in transplanted patients and in intensive care unit. In this study we will study whether bowel colonisation in Acute on Chronic Liver Failure patient increases the risk of infection development in extra intestinal sites.
This study analyses the effect of intravenous branched chain amino acids (BCAA) on overt HE in patients with ACLF. The investigators plan to study the efficacy of combining intravenous BCAA with lactulose versus lactulose alone in the medical management of overt HE in patients with ACLF and its impact on overall survival and improvement in grade of HE.
This is a non-randomized, open-label, one treatment, four group, parallel group study to investigate the effect of impaired hepatic function on the pharmacokinetics of entrectinib in participants with different levels of hepatic function. Participants with mild, moderate or severe hepatic impairment ('Mild', 'Moderate' and 'Severe' groups), and control participants with normal hepatic function ('Normal' group) will each receive a single 100 mg dose of entrectinib after consumption of a standardized meal.
In this observational study, data from patients treated with the antibiotic ceftobiprole in the past will be collected. The sponsor of the study is Correvio International Sárl, based in Switzerland. Correvio has committed to the health authorities to obtain further information on possible side effects especially in patients suffering from impaired liver or renal function or immune system deficiency and compare these effects to the ones observed in patients without these health problems. Patient data are collected from historic patient charts, patients will not be treated for the purpose of this data collection. All efforts are being made to capture the data of all patients who meet the inclusion criteria and have received at least one dose of ceftobiprole since this drug was first prescribed at the site.
