Biochemical response of primary biliary cholangitis-autoimmune hepatitis overlap syndrome induced by mycophenolate mofetil versus cyclosporin A
This is a Phase 2 study. All patients will receive prednisolone and AZA as standard of care (SOC) during the study. At the end of the study, all data collected will be analyzed the efficacy and safety of JKB-122 on SOC reduction and inflammation improvement in Autoimmune Hepatitis
The primary aim of this study is to investigate whether the baseline cT1 can predict those whose condition relapses following treatment withdrawal. The secondary aim is to investigate correlation of cT1 with histology to explore utility as a monitoring tool. A total of 97 patients with AIH will be recruited and divided into 2 arms. 20 of which will be treatment naive and the other 77 will have been on treatment for the past 18-24 months and will be coming in for therapy cessation review.
The purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetics of JKB-122 tablets with JKB-122 capsules in healthy male subjects subjects.
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is an immune-mediated and inflammatory liver disorder. It is currently divided into types 1 and 2, differentiated and defined by the presence of specific autoantibodies. The objectives are to describe the prevalence and incidence of type 1 and 2 autoimmune hepatitis and to analyze the clinics, biochemical and histopathological profiles at diagnosis and follow-up, initial therapy, response to therapy and long-term follow-up in three Italian centers of patients with type 1 and type 2 AIH.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether Orencia® (Abatacept) improves outcomes in liver transplant patients with recurrent or de novo AIH (autoimmune hepatitis) that has not responded to previous therapy. AIH that does not respond to steroids or conventional immunotherapy often affects young patients and leads to irreversible liver damage. There is currently no effective therapy for this condition.
Subjects with stable autoimmune hepatitis disease currently being administered corticosteroids with or without azathioprine (AZA) treatment will be be treated with Cannabidiol instead of standard of care treatment with corticosteroids
This will be a prospective, observational, cross-sectional study designed to assess how a quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan will aid in a physicians' clinical decision making process in patients with suspected or confirmed Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH). Participants will be recruited from the specialist outpatient hepatology clinic at Kings College Hospital NHS (National Health Service) Trust who are either being seen as a new or follow-up patient. Participants will be treated and assessed in line with the normal clinical care pathway. Autoimmune hepatitis is relatively rare, with a prevalence of about 8,000 people in the United Kingdom (UK) diagnosed. It is a non-resolving liver condition that is usually treated with a combination of corticosteroid and immunosuppressant therapy. The current standard for effective management requires close monitoring of disease activity to balance disease control and unwanted side effects of treatment . The recommended management involves monthly blood tests and annual liver biopsies to verify histological remission . However, blood tests lack sensitivity and biopsy is very invasive and samples only a small portion of the liver . Indeed, liver biopsy remains the gold standard for evaluating liver pathology, however it is not appropriate for longitudinal monitoring due to pain, risk and invasiveness. Blood tests can identify when the liver is inflamed, but are insensitive to small changes and are not prognostic. There is a significant unmet need in this patient group relating to both disease monitoring and identifying those needing higher immunosuppression or transplant. Non-invasive, quantitative MRI can characterise liver tissue to aid in the diagnosis of liver disorders. Using quantitative MRI in the management of AIH patients could be an invaluable asset within the standard care pathway to ensure more appropriate and accurate dosing of steroids is used in AIH patients, thus preventing over/under treating.
This case control study aims to determine whether spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is associated with autoimmune diseases and to update the incidence of SCAD in a population-based cohort.
