Filter by:The ALFSG-MBT protocol is for a multicenter, open label, non-randomized study to determine the value of Breath Identification® (BreathID®) N-(4-Methoxy-13C-phenyl)acetamide (13C-Methacetin) Breath Test System in predicting the outcome of patients diagnosed with severe acute liver injury that is not related to acetaminophen overdose or acute liver failure who meet inclusion/exclusion criteria. Up to 200 evaluable patients will be enrolled. An evaluable patient is one who has completed one or more breath tests for at least 30 minutes after administration of the 13C-Methacetin solution (test substrate). The Breath Test will be performed up to five times during the study period on all enrolled patients. The first Breath Test will be performed upon admission into the study (Day 1) and repeated on Days 2, 3, 5 and 7 provided no contra-indications are present. Each test continuously measures changes in the metabolism of the 13C-Methacetin in order to assess the improvement or deterioration in liver metabolic function about improvement or deterioration in liver metabolic function. If an enrolled non-APAP ALI or ALF patient receives a liver transplant, is discharged /transferred from the hospital or dies prior to Day 7, additional Breath Tests will not be performed. Patients will be contacted for the Day 21 follow up (21 days after enrollment into the trial) to determine spontaneous survival, transplantation and occurrence of serious adverse events since the patient's last study treatment.
The study will be conducted on patients admitted to Department of Hepatology from Jan 2016 to Jan 2018 at Institute of Liver & Biliary Sciences, New Delhi. Study group will comprise of patients with acute liver failure (ALF) who have no option for liver transplant (due to any reason) or have contraindications for liver transplant or have no prospective living donor and will be assessed for enrollment in the trial.
A prospective, multisite study to evaluate the Impact of Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella ProQuad® vaccination in pediatric patients 6-24 months of age who are being considered and/or evaluated for any solid organ transplant (heart, liver or kidney)
The purpose of the protocol is to assess the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of a single dose of telotristat etiprate in subjects with various stages of hepatic impairment compared to healthy control subjects.
Multicentre, open, randomised, and controlled trial conducted in patients diagnosed with acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) who meet inclusion/exclusion criteria.The objective of GRAFT-trial is to evaluate efficacy and safety of subcutaneously administered granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in patients with ACLF. All patients will receive standard medical care for ACLF according to the guidelines. Patients in the experimental arm additional receive subcutaneous injections of G-CSF.
This is a non-randomized, open-label, single-dose study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of uprifosbuvir (MK-3682), the M5 and M6 metabolites of uprifosbuvir, and ruzasvir (MK-8408), in participants with moderate hepatic insufficiency (HI), participants with severe HI, and age-matched healthy control participants.
Acute on chronic liver failure patients with HVPG (Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient) ≥ 12 mmHg + No/small esophageal varices who present to the Department of Hepatology at Institute of Liver and Billiary Sciences, who meet the inclusion criteria and who provide informed consent.
Acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a distinct entity encompassing the acute deterioration of liver function, culminating in multiple organs failure and high short-term mortality. Currently, there are differences in definitions and descriptions between western and eastern types of ACLF, especially in the definition of chronic liver disease and its precipitating events. The CANONIC (EASL-CLIF ACLF in Cirrhosis) study put forward CLIF-SOFA (chronic liver failure-sequential organ failure assessment) scores as the clinical diagnostic criteria of ACLF in 2013. Although the Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver (APASL) reached a consensus for diagnostic criteria of ACLF in 2008, it is based on expert opinion. This prospective multicenter clinical trial is launched to clarify the eastern type of ACLF (HBV related) and estimate whether the eastern and western (alcoholic related) types are homogenous. 3 key points of concern are: (1) Whether HBV and non-HBV ACLFs are belonged to a homogenous disease entity which share the same diagnostic criteria, disease grades classification and prognostic model? (2) Whether acute deteriorating patients from cirrhosis or from mild fibrosis (S1-S2) belong to a homogenous entity? (3) To clarify if there are heterogenous groups in APASL criteria diagnosed ACLF patients. 14 Chinese national wide liver centers have been included. Continuous hospitalized chronic liver disease patients of various etiologies (including both cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic) with acute decompensation (AD) or acute hepatic injury (ALI) (aminotransferase > 3NL(normal level)) will be recruited from January to December 2015. Biochemical parameters, organ failure will be collected and evaluated at day 1,4,7,14,21 and 28 after enrollment. Patients'death and LT (liver transplantation) are the primary and secondary endpoints of observation. Mortality and LT rate will be calculated at 28 days,90 days,180 days,1 year and 2 years after enrollment. Considering there will lack of liver biopsy in most of the patients, both CT and FibroScan as supplementary methods to differentiate non-cirrhotic patients. The patients will be continuously followed up once a month until the 24th month after hospital discharging and follow similar hospitalization process again whenever they have new ALI or AD. Data about the patients from stable chronic liver disease to deterioration will be acquired analyzed according to the questions hoped to resolve.
The study involves a single dose of a study drug called abemaciclib taken by mouth. The purpose of this study will be to measure how much study drug gets into the blood stream and how long the body takes to get rid of it when given to participants with mild, moderate, or severe liver impairment compared to healthy participants. In addition, the tolerability of the study drug will be evaluated. This study will last approximately 3 weeks for each participant, including check-in and follow-up.
Fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) in children is a potentially devastating disease. The mortality rate may reach 80-90% in the absence of liver transplantation. Liver injury is considered to be mainly immune mediated with augmentation of cytolytic pathways of infected hepatocytes. For that, it is suggested that corticosteroids modulate the activity of the disease by suppressing the immune system.
