Filter by:To provide treatment access to patients with PFIC in the US who have pruritus and elevated serum bile acids and who are not able to enroll in A4250-008 (PEDFIC2) for the following reasons: 1) Do not meet eligibility criteria for PEDFIC 2; 2) Are not able to get to a PEDFIC 2 site for geographical reasons, and 3) Do meet the eligibility criteria for PEDFIC 2 after recruitment has been completed
This is a compassionate use protocol of an investigational new drug (IND). The overall purpose of the treatment is to offer alternative treatment to children who developed parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease (PNALD) and have not responded positively to currently available medical therapies. PNALD develops in newborns dependent on parenteral nutrition (PN) and are unable to tolerate adequate enteral feedings to support fluid and nutritional fluids; although PN is necessary and life sustaining, it can result in severe liver disease.
This is an expanded access protocol for use of intravenous fish oil infusion, Omegaven, in infants and children with parenteral nutrition associated liver disease (PNALD) to decrease elevated liver enzymes and direct bilirubin. This study aims to describe the response of PNALD after use of Omegaven by normalization of serum levels of liver enzymes and bilirubin.
The purpose of this study is to provide intravenous omega-3 fatty acids and monitor tolerance in subjects with prolonged parenteral nutrition dependence and parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis through expanded access.
This expanded access protocol is for infants or children with conditions preventing them from taking in enough nutrients from food and must receive nutrition intravenously. Standard intravenous nutrition contains fat emulsion made from soybean. If this fat emulsion is given over a long period of time, it can cause problems within the liver and if persistent and not addressed can even lead to severe and/or permanent injury to the liver. It is believed that a type of fish oil blend, called Omegaven®, may be used in place of the soybean fat blend. The Omegaven® fish oil blend may greatly reduce the risk of liver injury. Omegaven® is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is only offered under an "expanded access" protocol as an alternative to the soybean fat blend.
The overall purpose of this study is to determine if replacing standard soybean oil based fat emulsions with Omegaven®, a fish oil based fat emulsion, can reverse or prevent the progression of parenteral nutrition associated liver disease. It is a compassionate use protocol for patients who already have significant liver disease related to parenteral nutrition.
To provide children dependent on total parenteral nutrition with Omegaven®, a fish oil-based intravenous lipid emulsion that may be less hepatotoxic than conventional, vegetable oil-based intravenous lipid emulsions, and that may therefore reduce the need for liver transplantation.
The overall purpose of this study is to determine if replacing standard soybean oil based fat emulsions with Omegaven®, a fish oil based fat emulsion, can reverse or prevent the progression of parenteral nutrition associated cholestasis. It is a compassionate use protocol for patients who already have significant cholestasis related to parenteral nutrition.
A compassionate use protocol to provide Omegaven to pediatric patients with parenteral nutrition (PN) dependence and parenteral nutrition associated liver disease (PNALD).
