Filter by:The main trial objective is to ascertain whether the metabolism activity of selected cytochrome (CYP) isozymes caffeine (CYP1A2 probe drug), S-warfarin (CYP2C9 probe drug), omeprazole (CYP2C19 probe drug), metopolol (CYP2D6 probe drug), and midazolam (CYP3A probe drug) are similar or different in F4 liver cirrhosis patients on standard therapy compared to healthy subjects.
The main trial objective, is to ascertain whether the transport activity, given by the maximum concentration (Cmax) and the area under the curve (AUC0-24) values for the different components in the transporter cocktail are similar or different in F4 liver cirrhosis patients on standard therapy compared to healthy subjects.
This study will provide important mechanistic information regarding the effect of inhaled mannitol (Bronchitol) in people with cystic fibrosis (PwCF) with moderate to severe disease who are already using elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (E/T/I). Many patients have already discontinued hypertonic saline and other pulmonary therapies because of the profound effect of E/T/I of their symptoms and lung function. Further, because both inhaled osmotic agents (i.e., Bronchitol, hypertonic saline [HS]) and E/T/I are believed to exert their beneficial effects through improvements in mucociliary clearance (MCC), it is unknown if the combination of these therapies might be additive or are redundant in a population with moderate to severe disease where bronchiectasis and chronic infection persists, and where eventual decline in lung function is expected over time. This study, therefore, will be the first to determine whether "add on" therapy with inhaled mannitol is able to further accelerate MCC in E/T/I patients. These data would provide some guidance regarding the use of these approved therapies in PwCF.
Liver Cirrhosis Network (LCN) Cohort Study is an observational study designed to identify risk factors and develop prediction models for risk of decompensation in adults with liver cirrhosis. LCN Cohort Study involves multiple institutions and an anticipated 1200 participants. Enrolled participants will have study visits every 6 months (180 days), with opportunities to complete specific visit components via telehealth or remotely. Visits will include collection of questionnaire data and the in-person visits will include questionnaires, physical exams, imaging, and sample collection.
This is a single-center, single-period, single-dose, open-label, non-randomized study to assess the mass balance recovery, metabolite profile and metabolite identification of 14C- labelled rencofilstat ([14C] CRV431). It is planned to enroll 6 healthy male subjects in a single group. Each subject will receive a single 225 mg oral dose of [14C] CRV431 self-micro emulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) oral emulsion.
Study to test the effect of the drug "L-ornithine.L-aspertate" (LOLA) on microorganisms in the digestive tract in patients with liver cirrhosis (damage of the liver due to liver disease)
This study aim to find out metabolic molecules in blood and urine which could identify high risk of advanced fibrosis in MAFLD patients via NMR-based metabolic profiling.
Decompesated Cirrhosis is charecterised by decreased synthesis of both procoagulants and anticoagulants along with thrombocytopenia and a delicate balance exists bleeding and thrombosis in this condition. There is increase in Prothrombin Time (PT) in this condition, consequently guidelines recommend correction of International Normalised Ratio (INR) and platelete count by transfusion of Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) and platelet transfusion before invasive procedures to prevent bleeding complications. However PT and platelet count are not ideal tests to guide transfusion strategies as they do not take into account the relative deficiency of anticoagulant factors. Furthermore, cirrhotic patients have an excess of von Willebrand factors and Factor VIII which are prothrombotic. So FFP and platelet transfusions based on PT and platelet count can actually lead to a prothrombotic state. Viscoelastic assays like ROTEM measure the haemostatic process in real time by detecting the resistance to movement of an oscillating pin by the clotting blood. It has three componenets-EXTEM, which measures the extrinsic coagulation pathway, INTEM, which measures the intrinsic pathway and FIBTEM which measures fibrinogen. Two parameters of EXTEM indicate FFP and platelet requirement and should be able to guide transfusion therapy. The first is Clottting Time (CT), that is the latency time between the formation of the test and the clot formation as the tracing reaches 2 mm of amplitude and the second is Maximum Clot Formation (MCF), that is the greatest vertical amplitude of the tracing. While CT helps in guiding FFP transfusion, MCF guides platelet transfusion. Fibrinogen requirement is guided by MCF values of FIBTEM. The aim of this study will be to compare the transfusion requirement, efficacy and safety of ROTEM in guiding the use of FFP, Platelet and cryoprecipitate transfusion before invasive procedures in children with decompensated cirrhosis before invasive procedures.

This study aims to evaluated nutritional status in patiets with cirrhosis
This study relies on the hypotheses that (1) exhaled breath is intimately correlated to the patient's lung condition and that (2)the composition of exhaled breath , i.e. the VOCs profile, will be significantly modified from the first days of treatment by CFTR modulators in a or pauci/symptomatic patients such as young children under 12 years old. The non-invasive and longitudinal collection and analysis of exhaled breath may reveal modifications in signaling pathways impacted by these treatments on the very short term. This study is a single-center pilot study.
