Filter by:There is a need to re-evaluate the patients classified as NCPH and determine whether the new histological classification proposed by the VALDIG applies to the Indian scenario. We intend to identify the patient cohorts who have been diagnosed as NCPH, NCPF, EHPVO, hepatic venous outlet tract obstruction (HVOTO), Veno-occlusive disease (VOD) and sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) based on their liver biopsy, endoscopy, HVPG, and radiology reports. These patients will be screened to find the patients who fit the diagnosis of PSVD. It is important to establish whether the new definition of PSVD is relevant to the Indian population and establish the usefulness of invasive tests like liver biopsy in diagnosing the disease. The patient cohorts meeting diagnosis of INCPH will be compared with those meeting the new diagnosis of PSVD. The investigators will describe the clinical (demographic, clinical risk factors, socioeconomic status), etiological (associated conditions, coagulation disorders medication use, genetic risk factors), imaging (based on ultrasound Doppler imaging or cross- sectional imaging), endoscopic, fibrosis tests (using non-invasive tests), and the histopathology of the patients who fulfil the criteria of PSVD.
This research study is being done to determine the safety and tolerability of increasing doses of defibrotide within a single patient with sinusoidal obstructive syndrome (SOS)/veno-occlusive disease (VOD) after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) associated with either kidney and/or lung impairment that has not obtained a complete response (CR) or progressed in severity with standard doses of defibrotide.
This is a prospective international multi-center registry and biorepository trial of children and adolescents/young adults (AYA) undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) to assess the impact of endotheliopathies in the HCT setting as a contributor of significant morbidity and mortality.
Sinusoidal Obstruction Syndrome (SOS), also referred to as hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD), is rare but serious complication of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). Defibrotide is the only FDA approved therapy to treat SOS and has significantly improved outcomes. When applied early, SOS symptoms often quickly improve and an abbreviated course can be applied. This study is looking at an abbreviated 5 day course of defibrotide in those patients with a complete response to therapy with the primary outcome being day 100 overall survival as compared to history data.
To perform an receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, define a threshold and quantify the sensitivity and specificity of US SWE for risk stratification of patients into three categories as defined by the European Bone Marrow Transplant (EBMT) adult and pediatric criteria: no sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), mild to moderate SOS, and severe to very severe SOS. Secondarily, the investigators would also like to quantify the temporal relationship between US SWE changes and SOS diagnosis according to various clinical criteria (Modified Seattle, Baltimore, EBMT consortium).
The primary purpose of this project is to investigate if addition of glutamine, an amino acid, to standard parenteral nutrition, may improve the clinical outcome of the bone marrrow transplantation reducing the occurrence of veno-occlusive disease and severity of mucositis.
