Filter by:This is an open-label, single-dose, Phase 1 study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of intravenous (IV) MK-3866 in participants with moderate and severe hepatic impairment (HI) compared to that of matched healthy participants. The primary purpose of this study is to understand the effect of HI on the plasma PK of MK-3866 in order to guide dosing recommendations for participants with HI. This study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of MK-3866 in participants with moderate and severe HI.
Ineffective hemostasis or a paradoxical prothrombotic state of Acute-on-chronic liver disease (ACLF) has been well established. Thrombelastography measures the dynamics of thrombin production and provides a global assessment of coagulation incorporating the cumulative effect of the interactions at various levels between plasma components and cellular component of coagulation. And through the platelet mapping, it can help provide a picture of patients' function of platelet. This study aims to explore the predictive role of platelet mapping in ACLF prognosis, organ failure developments and short term mortality.
This is a two-part, open label, single-dose study that will evaluate the PK of tozadenant in subjects with different degrees of hepatic impairment to the PK of a single-dose of tozadenant in healthy subjects.
To evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of copanlisib in subjects with impaired hepatic or renal function in comparison to healthy subjects
A randomized controlled trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of Thymosin-α1 administration in patients with HBV-related Acute-on-chronic liver failure.
The First-In-Man study is a multi-centre, randomised, controlled, study to generate data for the evaluation of safety and performance of DIALIVE Liver Dialysis Device in 24 evaluable patients with Acute on Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF) versus standard of care (SOC).
The aim of this study is to assess prospectively the critical period prior to the development of Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF) (1), to uncover mechanistic and pathophysiological processes associated with the development and clinical course of ACLF (2) and to identify the precipitating events of ACLF (3).
Early postoperative extracorporal liver support therapy (ELS) as a tool to manage post hepatectomy liver failure (PLF). Post-operative liver failure (PLF) has been identified as a major risk factor leading to increased morbidity and mortality. The incidence of PLF varies largely between 0-30%, and may be accounted for the main reason of postoperative mortality related to liver surgery (reported figures ranging from 18 to 75 %). Currently, there are only a few treatment options for PLF, mainly restricted to the treatment of complications like bile leakage, infections as well as the prevention of further liver damage caused by e.g. thrombosis or haemorrhage as well as administration of liver toxic drugs. Recently the international study group on liver surgery (ISGLS) published criteria for a new definition of PLF which will greatly facilitate the comparison of results from future studies on a variety of aspects on liver failure. ELS by using the Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System (MARS) is based on a modified haemodialysis that allows the removal of water-soluble and protein bound toxins over an albumin-coated high flux membrane against recycled exogenous albumin. Thus, MARS can support the compromised detoxification capacity of the liver as well as improve physiological parameters. This would offer the potential for temporary support for the harmed liver after liver resection allowing for a more uneventful recovery. For obvious reasons previous reports contain few patients, present heterogonous treatment groups and all suffer from lack of standardized treatment protocols. Few if any surviving patients, thus providing no evidence to encourage ELS as a possible treatment option for patients suffering of PLF. However, studies with defined patient populations and treatments according to a predefined standardised treatment protocol are warranted. Primary issues to be addressed: 1. Can ELS be applied in an early phase of PLF? 2. Is ELS safe and feasible for the treatment of PLF when practised according to a predefined protocol? Secondary issues to be addressed: 1. The development of predictive laboratory-chemical markers of liver failure 2. Indirect measures of portal flow and portal pressure 3. Indocyanine green clearance (ICG) under ELS treatment 4. Clearance of toxic products as assessed in aliquots taken from the dialysate
The study will assess the safety of different dose regimens of HepaStem in cirrhotic Patients with ACLF or with acute decompensation at risk of developing ACLF up to Day 28 of the active study period.
This study consists of Part I and an optional Part II. The purpose of Part I is to compare the plasma pharmacokinetics of verubecestat (MK-8931) following administration of a single oral dose of 40 mg MK-8931 to participants with moderate hepatic insufficiency (HI) to that of healthy matched controls. An interim safety and pharmacokinetic analysis on the basis of Part I will be performed in order to support the decision to continue with the optional Part II. If a decision to continue with Part II is made, participants with mild HI will be enrolled to receive a single oral dose of 40mg MK-8931. If any healthy participants from Part I do not meet the matching criteria for Part II additional healthy participants will be enrolled.
