Filter by:This is a clinical trial with a cross over design investigating the effect of the proton pump inhibitor omeprazole on fat malabsorption in subjects with cystic fibrosis and pancreatic insufficiency. Participants will be randomized to receive either omeprazole or placebo for 28 days, then cross over and receive omeprazole or placebo for another 28 days. Markers of fat absorption will be measured after each treatment course.
Background: The XL probe of FibroScan was recently developed to realize liver stiffness measurements (LSM) in overweight patients. Severe obese patients have a high prevalence of liver injuries and could benefit of liver evaluation prior to bariatric surgery. Objectives: Assess the FibroScan applicability, reliability and diagnostic performances in severe obese patients' candidates for bariatric surgery.
-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.
The inclusion of Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) as part of the management of pulmonary fibrosis although being highly recommended and recommended in guidelines still sees studies exploring the outcomes from such an intervention limited. The present study aims to contribute to the available literature by investigating the effects of a high intensity, 12week PR programme on functional and quality of life measures in patients with a diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis.
This is a Phase Ib, multi-center, open-label, nonrandomized multiple cohorts study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of multiple doses of a combination treatment of GLPG2451 and GLPG2222, with and without GLPG2737, in adult subjects with Cystic Fibrosis.
A phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, biological activity, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of ND-L02-s0201 for Injection in subjects with IPF.
This study evaluates the long-term safety and tolerability of tezacaftor in combination with ivacaftor (TEZ/IVA) in participants with cystic fibrosis (CF) aged 6 years and older, homozygous or heterozygous for the F508del mutation.
Currently there are no guidelines for monitoring hepatic fibrosis associated with long term MTX use. Routine liver biopsies are not being done as a part of surveillance due to potential complications like bleeding and pneumothorax. Non-invasive markers like gammaglamyltransferase (GGTP), Alkaline Phosphatase (AlkPhos), Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) are deranged at a late stage and may not be helpful in detecting early fibrosis. The current study will utilize a sensitive, but noninvasive, test to evaluate for hepatic fibrosis. We are attempting to screen for early detection of fibrosis due to MTX before it progresses to irreversible cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease. Based on the results of this pilot study, ultrasound elastography could be used to prospectively study a larger population to establish guidelines for monitoring safety and hepatic complications with MTX. The influence of other co-morbid factors like obesity, alcohol ingestion and smoking is critical to identifying high risk patients who may require closer monitoring. We follow close to 550 patients with IBD. If we presume that at least 20% patients are currently receiving methotrexate, we will be able to recruit enough patients for this pilot study.
This is a randomised, cross-over study comprised of 6 periods in healthy subjects.Subjects will receive Regimens A, B and C in a randomised crossover manner in the fed state, followed by Regimens D, E and F in a randomised crossover manner, in the fasted or fed state, as applicable.
The study evaluates the long-term safety and tolerability of VX-445 in triple combination (TC) with tezacaftor (TEZ) and ivacaftor (IVA) in subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are homozygous or heterozygous for the F508del mutation
