Filter by:A study to investigate the use of combination therapy with two investigational products for the treatment of adult patients with Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
In this study, the investigators compared the improvement of liver reserve function related indicators in patients with liver cirrhosis after laparoscopic splenectomy and azygoportal disconnection. To determine whether surgical treatment can help enhance postoperative liver reserve function and improve patient prognosis.

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by dysregulated host response. A Subset of sepsis is septic shock which has almost 4-6 times the mortality when compared to sepsis. Septic shock has underlying cellular and metabolic abnormalities in addition to circulatory dysfunction. The circulatory dysfunction in sepsis is in the form of severe vasodilatation with high cardiac index. Cirrhosis is a state of hyperdynamic circulation. The mortality of septic shock in these group of patients is still higher. At the onset of septic shock there is initially an increased secretion of Arginine vasopressin. However, this initial rise is short lasting, and the vasopressin levels come back to normal or low serum levels with continued hypotension. However, even normal levels are too low for the degree of hypotension in septic shock. This causes a relative deficiency of vasopressin in septic shock. The exact time when this fall happens is not known and it is likely to be variable. Vasopressin was therefore tried as an agent in septic shock. Terlipressin is a synthetic analogue of vasopressin. It has a greater selectivity for the V1 receptor. Terlipressin is also shown to be effective in septic shock in cirrhotics3. Other vasoactive agents are not preferred in cirrhotics - dopamine due to high risk of arrhythmias and dobutamine as baseline cardiac output of cirrhotics is high which further increases in sepsis and dobutamine would further add to it. However, it may be given in myocardial dysfunction. Noradrenaline is recommended as the first vasopressor to be started in general in septic shock population. No study has compared the effectiveness of vasopressin and Terlipressin when added to noradrenaline in patients with cirrhosis. Acute kidney injury is a very common complication of septic shock in cirrhotics.
To study the etiologies of patients diagnosed as non-B, non-C liver cirrhosis (NBNC-LC). To describe the different patient's outcomes.
OCE-205 is being tested to treat participants who have developed Hepatorenal Syndrome-Acute Kidney Injury as a complication of cirrhosis with ascites. The study aims are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of OCE-205 at various doses. Participants will receive treatment by intravenous infusion. Participants will continue with this treatment until participants meets primary endpoint or any discontinuation criteria.
Liver transplantation in children is highly successful with >80% having 20 years survival. Most pediatric liver diseases are potentially curable with liver transplantation and it is important to establish whether children who have undergone successful transplantation can expect a normal life expectancy or whether there will be a gradual decline in liver function and eventual graft loss. The most common reasons in late graft loss in children are unexplained graft inflammation ("idiopathic" post-transplant hepatitis) and graft fibrosis. PRO-C3, a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs-generated neo-epitope marker of type III collagen formation, has been proved to be a marker of fibrosis in patients with NAFLD. The aim of this study is to explore the role of Fibrosis Panel(PRO-C3, PIIINP, TIMP-1, HA) in children received liver transplantation.
This is a double-blind, randomized, multicenter, placebo-controlled, comparative, exploratory phase II dose-finding trial. The trial will be conducted with four treatment groups in the form of a parallel group comparison and will serve to compare oral treatment with daily doses of 20, 50, or 100 mg ZED1227 vs. placebo for the treatment of patients with NAFLD with fibrosis.
We are performing a pilot and feasibility randomized controlled trial (RCT) of HCC screening by US + AFP every 6 months (n=100), the current standard-of-care, versus aMRI + AFP every 6 months (n=100) for 12 months (i.e. at time 0, 6 and 12 months) among AI/AN patients with cirrhosis or HBV.
A prospective, randomized controlled study on whether re-education after discharge can reduce the rebleeding rate after endoscopic treatment of esophageal and gastric varices in patients with liver cirrhosis
