Filter by:-The limited treatment varieties of decompensated cirrhosis due to hepatitis C virus (HCV) remain a challenge. In patients with reduced hepatic reserve, DAAs may be associated with complications as worsening decompensation. The impact of DAAs therapy on mortality in decompensated cirrhosis was not investigated.
This study is a companion protocol that will use the data generated by Conatus' study of emricasan under protocol IDN-6556-17.The IDN-6556-17 study is a Phase 2, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of Emricasan in subjects with decompensated non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) cirrhosis.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of albumin infusion on oxidative albumin modification, on plasma thiol status and on albumin binding capacity for DS in patients who routinely receive albumin infusion for various indications and to relate these findings with neurohumoral parameters, bacterial products such as endotoxin, and neutrophil function
This is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of emricasan in improving event-free survival based on a composite clinical endpoint (where all-cause mortality, new decompensation events, and MELD score progression are events) in subjects with decompensated NASH cirrhosis.
Imbalance of gut bacteria is suspected to play a key role driving the progression of cirrhosis and there is hope manipulation of these bacteria may be beneficial. This study will determine if fecal microbiota transplantation is an effective and safe treatment for decompensated cirrhosis.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of injectable collagen scaffold combined with human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HUC-MSCs) transplantation in patients with Decompensated Cirrhosis.
All consecutive patients admitted in ILBS from MAY 2015 to DECEMBER 2016. Decompensated cirrhosis patients will be randomized into Group 1: MVP (Moderate Volume Paracentesis) of less than 5 litres with iv albumin at a dose 8 gms/l of ascitic fluid Group 1: MVP (Moderate Volume Paracentesis) of less than 5 litres without albumin .
A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Ombitasvir/Paritaprevir/Ritonavir and Dasabuvir with Ribavirin in Adults with Genotype 1 and Ombitasvir/Paritaprevir/Ritonavir with Ribavirin in Adults with Genotype 4 Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Infection and Decompensated Cirrhosis.
This will be a randomized double blind study which will be conducted on patients admitted to Department of Hepatology from June 2013 to may 2014 at ILBS, New Delhi. Patients not having any exclusion criteria will undergo bone marrow examination and liver biopsy at the baseline. 60 patients of decompensated cirrhosis will be randomised into two limbs- limb A (30 patients) will receive G-CSF and erythropoietin while those on limb B (30 patients) will receive G-CSF alone. The drugs will be given for 2 months and patient will be followed for 1 year. G-CSF will be given at a dose of 5 µg/kg s/c at days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and then every 3rd day till day 60 (total 22 doses). Erythropoietin will be given s/c at dose of 500 IU/Kg twice a week for 2 months. Follow up will be done on days 0,3,7,14,28, day 42 (6 weeks), day 60 (2 months), day 90 (3 months), day 180 (6 months), day 270 (9 months); and day 360 (1 year).
Fibroscan is a non invasive imaging investigation which measures liver stiffness, known to correlate well with liver scarring and cirrhosis on liver biopsy. Indocyanine green is an inert dye which is purely extracted from the blood by liver cells, and is hence an excellent marker of both liver cell function and overall liver blood flow. There is little data for either of these biomarkers regarding outcomes in alcoholic liver disease. We aim to establish the accuracy of these liver biomarkers in predicting important liver related outcomes (death, transplantation and hospital readmission with cirrhosis related consequences) in patients with severe (decompensated) alcoholic liver disease. Moreover, we will assess whether the serial measurement of biomarkers has any impact on alcohol abstinence, motivation or quality of life. Over an 18 month period, 125 consecutive hospital inpatients with decompensated alcoholic liver disease will undergo baseline biomarker measurement, routine blood and urine tests and qualitative questionnaires. These will be measured during their initial hospital admission (0 months) with subsequent repeat measurement during follow up visits at 1, 2, 4 and 6 months. Each study visit time will be in the region of 30-40 minutes to complete these investigations. The end of the study for individual patients will be patient death, liver transplantation or 6 month from study enrolment; whichever occurs first.
