Filter by:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is defined as accumulation of fat in the liver which is not related to either alcohol excess or other causes such viral infection, immune-mediated, or medication related which can lead to fibrosis and later-on, cirrhosis. Over the last years NAFLD related liver cirrhosis has become the commonest cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. Portal hypertension is the major complication caused by increased splanchnic blood flow which leads to development of oesophageal varices (OV). Almost all of the patients with portal hypertension can develop OV sometime in their life and one third of those will bleed, hence identifying the presence of OV is a an important aspect of diagnostic workup of these patients with portal hypertension. Upper digestive camera test/endoscopy is the only means to diagnose and grade OV but endoscopy is an invasive procedure and its cost effectiveness for screening is also questionable. These limitations and the ever-increasing workload on endoscopy units has led many researchers to identify some parameters that can non-invasively diagnose OV. Researchers have proposed use of platelet count/spleen diameter ratio, liver stiffness on Fibroscan among many non-invasive tools to predict OV in patients with portal hypertension with success. Recently criteria proposed in Baveno VI conference, (Baveno-IV Criteria) recommended that screening endoscopy can be avoided in patients with compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD) with liver stiffness measurement (LSM) less than 20 kPa and a platelet count more than than 150,000/μL with an expanded Baveno-IV criteria suggesting platelet count >110 × 109 cells/L and LSM <25 kPa can spare even more endoscopies with a risk of missing varices needing treatment (VNT) being minimal.
Patients with obesity and cirrhosis benefit from weight loss but are prone to sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass, strength, and function). This study proposes to test a specialized weight loss program Alternative-day Modified Fasting (ADMF) designed to promote weight loss and preserve skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function in patients with both Child-Pugh (CP) class A cirrhosis and obesity. This study will compare the effectiveness of the ADMF to Continuous Energy Restriction (CER) for 24-weeks. Both arms will receive a high-protein, high-BCAA diet, a late-night snack, supervised aerobic and resistance exercise, increased physical activity through self-monitoring, and group behavioral counseling. The primary aim of this trial is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of ADMF and CER for 6 months in patients with cirrhosis and obesity. The secondary aim is to compare changes in body composition in both diets.
A multi-center evaluation of aldafermin in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in subjects with compensated cirrhosis.
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of Nitazoxanide (NTZ) 500mg Twice Daily (BID) after 24 weeks of treatment in patients with NASH induced Stage 2 or Stage 3 fibrosis
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate whether obeticholic acid (OCA; INT-747) can lead to histological improvement in fibrosis with no worsening of NASH in adults with compensated cirrhosis due to NASH.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of ABT-493/ABT-530 following 12 weeks of treatment in adults with chronic Hepatitis C Virus Infection genotype 1, 2, 4, 5 or 6 infection and compensated cirrhosis.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ombitasvir/ paritaprevir/ ritonavir and dasabuvir in adults with genotype 1b chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and cirrhosis.
This open-label study will evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of a 12 or 24-week regimen of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir with or without ribavirin in HCV-genotype 1-infected subjects with an Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) <30, including those on hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and antiviral effect of multiple doses of ABT-493 and ABT-530 in adults with genotype 1 HCV.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ABT-450/ritonavir/ABT-267 (ABT-450/r/ABT-267; ABT-450 also known as paritaprevir; ABT-267 also known as ombitasvir) and ABT-333 (also known as dasabuvir) coadministered with ribavirin (RBV) in hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1-infected adults with compensated cirrhosis.
