Filter by:This study hopes identify the main pruritogens of ICP pruritus and provide new insights for the diagnosis, prediction, and treatment of ICP. Details are as follows: It is planned to include ICP confirmed pregnant women and healthy pregnant women who have given birth in the Peking University Third Hospital and Sichuan University West China Second University Hospital. Then progesterone sulfate levels in plasma samples will be quantified by High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (HPLC-MS) and itch intensity will be quantified by questionnaires. Main study endpoint: To reveal new indicators of ICP diagnosis with high accuracy: single, multiple or combined indicators of progesterone sulfates and other molecules like bile acids; Secondary study endpoint: To determine whether progesterone sulfates can be used as an early screening indicator for ICP for disease prediction, specifically whether elevated levels of progesterone sulfates predate pruritus in pregnant women with ICP.
This study hopes investigate the itch-inducing ability of different potential pruritogen candidates of cholestasis pruritus, especially the intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP). In this study, a combination of skin application and needle-free subcutaneous injection was used to investigate whether human endogenous molecules can cause itching. And a questionnaire is used to quantify the intensity of different candidates-induced itch.
Chronic diffuse liver disease implies liver damage of various origin - viral hepatitis, the effect of xenobiotics (alcohol, drugs, medications, industrial toxins), metabolic disorders, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Intrahepatic cholestasis syndrome, or bile retention, occurs in 11-55% of cases of diffuse chronic liver diseases, usually leads to a worsening of the liver disease, a decrease in the effectiveness of treatment. The drug REMAXOL® is a solution for infusion, which has shown high effectiveness in the syndrome of intrahepatic cholestasis in cases of liver dysfunction due to acute or chronic damage. The study drug REMAXA® enteric-coated tablets is a hybrid drug which contains the same active metabolites as REMAXOL, i.e. inosine, methionine, nicotinamide, and succinic acid. The purpose of this study is to select the optimal dose and dosage regimen followed by evaluation safety and efficacy of REMAXA®, enteric-coated tablets, in comparison with REMAXOL®, solution for infusion, in patients who suffer from chronic diffuse liver diseases and have intrahepatic cholestasis.
The aim of this study is to evaluate how variations in maternal nutrition may affect twin pregnancy and in particular: - incidence of maternal obstetric complications: - gestational diabetes - gestational hypertension or preeclampsia - intrahepatic cholestasis (ICP) - fetal growth, development and birth weight of the babies
The project will amalgamate data from several large Indian centers to describe the genotype, clinical spectrum, natural course, genotype-phenotype correlation, outcome, and response to medical therapy in Indian children with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC). This will be the first such Indian registry of children with PFIC. There are currently limited single-center studies describing the genotype, natural course, and outcome of Indian children with PFIC. Data will be collected retrospectively from the participating centers across the country. Only genetically confirmed cases would be included.
Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is a disorder characterized by itching, elevated fasting serum bile acids ≥10μmol/L (and elevated serum transaminases), with increased risks of perinatal complications, including spontaneous preterm labor, fetal distress, infant respiratory distress syndrome, meconium-stained liquor (MSL), and sudden intrauterine death (IUD). The Incidence of ICP varies from 0.1 to 15.6% of all pregnancies, with the highest cases in Chile, South Asia, America, and Scandinavia. The burden of ICP in India according to various states is as follows Punjab (3.1%), Chandigarh (4.8%), Delhi (0.79%), West Bengal (3.3%), and Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) (2.8%).
Newborn screening (NBS) is a global initiative of systematic testing at birth to identify babies with pre-defined severe but treatable conditions. With a simple blood test, rare genetic conditions can be easily detected, and the early start of transformative treatment will help avoid severe disabilities and increase the quality of life. Baby Detect Project is an innovative NBS program using a panel of target sequencing that aims to identify 126 treatable severe early onset genetic diseases at birth caused by 361 genes. The list of diseases has been established in close collaboration with the Paediatricians of the University Hospital in Liege. The investigators use dedicated dried blood spots collected between the first day and 28 days of life of babies, after a consent sign by parents.
Objective:The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between delayed cord clamping and neonatal bilirubin levels in pregnant women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. Method:This observational prospective cohort study included a total of 200 pregnant women at 37-40 gestational weeks. Among them, 100 pregnant women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy were divided into 50 cases of immediate cord clamping group （ICC in pregnant women with ICP）and 50 cases of delayed cord clamping group（DCC in pregnant women with ICP）, and 100 normal pregnant women were also divided into 50 cases of immediate cord clamping group （ICC in normal pregnant women）and 50 cases of delayed cord clamping group（DCC in normal pregnant women）. The bilirubin levels of neonates in each group were compared.
The main aim of the study is to check if TAK-625 improves symptoms of Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis (PFIC), side effect from the study treatment or TAK-625, and how much TAK-625 stays in their blood over time. This will help the study sponsor (Takeda) to work out the best dose to give people in the future. The participants will be treated with TAK-625 for up to the end of study (about 34 months). Participants will visit their study clinic 15 times from the start of study. After 15 times visits, participants will visit their study clinic every 12 weeks up to the end of study.
This observational prospective study will help to determine if an immune process similar to allograft rejection is responsible for the occurrence of an intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP). If so, it would suggest the potential benefit of immunomodulatory therapeutics.
