Filter by:The investigation is a randomized, double-blind, placebo involved and multi-center clinical trial. All subjects are assigned to 2 groups, including Oryz-Aspergillus Enzyme and Pancreatin tablet group (treatment group) and the placebo group (control group). Treatment group includes 99 subjects, while control group includes 33 subjects. They receive investigational drug 2 tablets/times, tid, p.o. for 180 days.
The study aim to identify the risk factors of liver fibrosis among first degree relatives. This study consists of 2 parts (Cross Sectional and Case Control Study). Part 1: The first primary objective will be achieved by following study design. Study population: First degree relatives of NRC. Study design: A Cross Sectional Study Part 2 The second Primary objective will be achieved by following study design. Study design: A Case Control Study Study population: Case: NASH related Cirrhosis patients Control-1: Healthy Control. Control-2: HBV Disease Control Study period: 3 Years All the patients diagnosed with NASH cirrhosis attending Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences OPD/IPD will be enrolled. An informed consent will be taken. Complete details of the subject will be taken. The data will be collected on socio-demographic by (socio-demographic questionnaire), alcohol by AUDIT-C (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test), Tobacco by FTND (Fagerstrom Test Nicotine Dependence), physical activity by IPAQ (International Physical Activity Questionnaire), Diet by FFQ (Food Frequency Questionnaire), physical measurement & all the comorbidities. Blood will be collected and analyzed for Platelets, PT/INR, Serum Creatinine, LFT, FBS, HOMA-IR, Lipid Profile, HBsAg, AntiHBs, Anti HBc, Anti HCV, Anti HAV, IgM anti HAV, IgM anti HEV, auto-Immune markers, Ceruloplasmin, Transferrin, S.Ferritin, Alpha1antitrpsin and genetic markers. The stool will be collected and analyzed for gut microbiota profiling.
To prevent portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in patients with cirrhosis at risk for PVT by pharmacologic prophylaxis with intravenous antithrombin (AT-III).
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.
Acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a distinct syndrome in patients with chronic liver disease with rapid clinical deterioration and has high short term mortality within one month.Despite aggressive clinical care, only half of the patients could survive an episode of ACLF. The investigators hypothesized that the early treatment with therapeutic plasma exchange with plasma and albumin in ACLF patients might improve overall survival in carefully selected patients by removing cytokines, chemokines and toxic substances.
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.
To evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of OP-724 and to determine the recommended dose of OP-724 against Primary Biliary Cholangitis patients.
Variceal hemorrhage (VH) from gastric varices (GVs) results in significant morbidity and mortality among patients with liver cirrhosis. In cases of acute bleeding, refractory bleeding, or high risk GVs, the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation and transvenous variceal obliteration procedures have used to treat GVs. While these techniques are effective, each is associated with limitations, including non-trivial rebleeding and hepatic encephalopathy rates for TIPS and aggravation of esophageal varices, development of new or worsening ascites, and formation of difficult to treat ectopic varices for transvenous obliteration. Increasingly, however, TIPS and transvenous obliteration are viewed as complimentary procedures that can be combined to reduce bleeding risk and ameliorate sequelae of portal hypertension. Yet, despite a strong mechanistic basis for their combination, there are few studies investigating the combined effectiveness of TIPS plus transvenous obliteration. Thus, the aim of this single center prospective pilot study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of combined TIPS creation plus transvenous obliteration for the treatment of GVs, with the overall goal of improving the clinical outcomes of patients with VH related to GVs. The work proposed could lead to important advances in the treatment of bleeding complications due to liver cirrhosis.
Liver fibrosis is the most important prognostic factor in patients with non-alcoholic factor disease. Clinical and biological condition, as diabetes or mutation for PNPLA3, are well known factors associated with liver fibrosis onset and progression. However, little is known about biochemical factors predicting liver fibrosis evolution in large NAFLD populations.
All consecutive patients with cirrhosis of liver who satisfy the criteria will be included and will be evaluated clinically along with all routine investigations and standard medical therapy will be continued among these patients. The patients between 18-60 yrs of age (cirrhosis diagnosed on the basis of clinical, biochemical, fibroscan & imaging.) , with ascites and HVPG (Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient) >12, with 2 or more large volume paracentesis in last 3 month . CTP ≥ 7-13 will be considered for the study. At baseline, a complete history of the cause of cirrhosis of liver with clinical and physical examination, a record of demographic profile, standard of care biochemical investigations would be done. In this study patients who satisfy the inclusion and exclusion criteria as mentioned below will be enrolled to receive either standard medical therapy with Large volume paracentesis and albumin infusion or to be randomised to receive TIPS (Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt). The patients in group A will be given standard medical therapy only included as per requirement nutritional therapy (high calorie intake- 2400 Kcal/ day) as and when required Large Volume Paracentesis (LVP) and albumin infusion and diuretics.
