Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of cilofexor (CILO) in participants with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and compensated cirrhosis.
Sorafenib has proven efficacy in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Most patients with HCC have impaired liver function due to underlying liver cirrhosis. The severity of liver cirrhosis might have implications on sorafenib metabolism. To date, no data showing unequivocal activity and tolerability of sorafenib in patients with moderate cirrhosis (Child-Pugh (CP)-B) have been published. To specifically address this issue, this study aims to explore population pharmacokinetics of sorafenib and to explore the relationship between sorafenib exposure and its efficacy and toxicity in CP-B patients with irresectable HCC.
This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, multinational, dose-finding study evaluating the efficacy of three treatment doses of CC-90001 compared with placebo, in Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) participants with Stage 2, Stage 3 liver fibrosis. This study is designed to assess response to treatment on measures of fibrosis and other efficacy parameters. It will also assess dose response and overall safety.
The investigated cohort will examine liver and spleen fibrosis in patients with Gaucher Disease(GD) by using Shear Wave Elastography- SWE to evaluation fibrosis of the tissue and to check the correlation of fibrosis with the biomarkers of disease severity.
Clinical trial with medical devices. A diagnostic trial conducted to find a better (less invasive) procedure for predicting the onset of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis(SBP), which is a complication of liver cirrhosis with ascites.The current recommendation for primary prophylaxis of SBP include a low protein content of the ascitic fluid or a gastrointestinal bleeding. This trial will use the CLE (confocal laser endomicroscopy) technic in order to quantify the intestinal permeability in patients with liver cirrhosis and correlate this to the onset of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.We aim to evaluate a new diagnostic tool (the confocal laser endoscopy(CLE) technique -cellvizio- in the setting of endoscopy and defining parameters that are altered in cirrhotic patients of different severity and being at risk of developing a SBP (spontaneous bacterial peritonitis).The parameters assessed by confocal laser endomicroscopy will be correlated with the protein content in ascitic fluid and the patient will be monitored for time to occurrence of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. Defining a correlation between the quantified loss of intestinal integrity and i) total protein concentration in the ascitic fluid and ii) stadium of liver disease (Child class A, B or C)
Endothelin is a human hormone which has been associated with increased portal pressure in patients with liver cirrhosis (also called portal hypertension). Ambrisentan blocks the effects of endothelin. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of ambrisentan on portal pressure and renal function in patients with advanced liver cirrhosis and with portal hypertension. In this study, portal pressure will be determined at multiple times with the aid of a catheter inserted into the body of the patient. The effect of ambrisentan on the function of the kidney will also be investigated. This study will also evaluate the concentrations of ambrisentan in blood in patients with liver cirrhosis.
This study is testing the accuracy of a point of care device that tests liver function within 20 minutes. The target population will be any adult who had liver function tests ordered and to be drawn on the same day as enrollment.
The CEDIP LCI study is intended to show the difference in intestinal permeability between compensated and decompensated liver cirrhosis by confocal endoscopy.
The investigators hypothesize that trans-thoracic ultrasound performed by non-specialist gastroenterologists with a standard training by intensive care doctors will give equivalent results to those achieved by experts for a simple evaluation of hemodynamic status.
This Phase 4, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of OCA treatment in participants with PBC and moderate to severe hepatic impairment over a 48-week treatment period. Participants who have completed their 48-week double blind treatment period will continue double-blind treatment until all randomized participants have completed their 48-week treatment period and the database for that period is locked. An open-label extension study in which all participants receive OCA will be considered following review of blinded safety and PK data.
