Liver Cirrhosis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluation of Prolonged-release Pirfenidone in Patients With Viral C Hepatitis, With Sustained Viral Response and Advanced Residual Liver Fibrosis. Potential Role of Epigenetics to Understand Therapeutic Changes (MINERVA).
Prolonged-Release Pirfenidone (PR-PFD) is an anti-fibrogenic and anti-inflammatory molecule used for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (approved by FDA) and liver fibrosis (approved in Mexico by COFEPRIS). PFD effects are mediated in part through inhibition of TGFβ, TNFα, IL-1 and IL-6, along with NFκB activation down-regulation causing reduced TNFα and IFNγ levels. The aim of this protocol is to know if the epigenetic factors induced by PR-PFD have a regulatory role to understand the progression variants in liver fibrosis in a group of patients with viral hepatitis C, with a history of sustained viral response and advanced residual liver fibrosis. To assess the safety and efficacy of two daily doses of pirfenidone (KitosCell® LP), in patients with compensated liver cirrhosis.
Design: Observational clinical study, in an open population, of 12 months duration. Sixty patients with chronic Viral C hepatitis, who have been treated with direct-acting antivirals, with a sustained viral response and who still have advanced fibrosis (F3-F4). Aim: to know if the epigenetic factors induced by PR-PFD have a regulatory role to understand the progression variants in liver fibrosis in a group of patients with viral hepatitis C, with a history of sustained viral response and advanced residual liver fibrosis. To assess the safety and efficacy of two daily doses of pirfenidone (KitosCell® LP), in patients with compensated liver cirrhosis. Dosage: 1200 mg / day of Pirfenidone (KitosCell® LP) Variables to Analyze: Reduction of fibrosis and evaluation of epigenetic changes in the expression of various genes: PPARγ, PPARδ, PPARα, TGFβ1, Col1A1 and PDGFα. Additionally, changes in the expression levels of miR-122, miR192, miR-200a / b, miR-34a, miR-16, miR-21 and miR-181b will be evaluated, as well as changes in the transcriptome in ccfRNA. Ethical considerations: The study will be conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and the E6 Good Clinical Practice Standards International Conference on Harmonization (ICH). Statistical Data Analysis: Descriptive statistics will be used and according to analytical statistical requirements that include parametric or non-parametric tests. The value of p <0.05 will be considered as significant. ;
