Filter by:This Phase 4, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of OCA treatment in participants with PBC and moderate to severe hepatic impairment over a 48-week treatment period. Participants who have completed their 48-week double blind treatment period will continue double-blind treatment until all randomized participants have completed their 48-week treatment period and the database for that period is locked. An open-label extension study in which all participants receive OCA will be considered following review of blinded safety and PK data.
In this research study, the investigators will conduct a prospective cross-sectional study of pediatric and adult Fontan patients that will correlate a variety of quantitative MRI biomarkers with histopathologic data.
Acute kidney injury (AKI), or worsening kidney function, is a common complication after liver transplantation (20-90% in published studies). Patients who experience AKI after liver transplantation have higher mortality, increased graft loss, longer hospital and intensive care unit stays, and more progression to chronic kidney disease compared with those who do not. In this study, half of the participants will have their body temperature cooled to slightly lower than normal (mild hypothermia) for a portion of the liver transplant operation, while the other half will have their body temperature maintained at normal. The study will evaluate if mild hypothermia protects from AKI during liver transplantation.
Investigator seek to determine whether the volume of the liver can predict the survival after a decompensation of a patient suffering from chronic liver disease caused by excessive alcohol consumption (or alcoholic cirrhosis). Our hypothesis is that patients with a "small" liver have a lower survival compared to patients having a "normal" sized liver.
A post-treatment follow-up observational study for liver disease subjects with or without liver cirrhosis after receiving emricasan or placebo. Subjects must have been enrolled in a prior IDN-6556 study to be eligible.
BCD-085 is an innovative drug, anti-interleukin-17 monoclonal antibody. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BCD-085 in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC).
This Phase 1b/2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamics of SYNB1020 in hepatic insufficiency and cirrhosis patients with hyperammonemia, with dosing of the investigational medicinal product (IMP) administered in an inpatient unit and subsequent outpatient follow-up for SYNB1020 clearance in two study parts.
Pilot study examining changes in liver stiffness measured by ultrasound before and after TIPS creation
Auricular neurostimulation is a potential novel and non-invasive method of pain control following liver transplantation in a growing patient population with the probability of significant impact on economics and morbidity. The investigators propose a pilot study to investigate the effects of auricular neurostimulation in patients receiving a liver transplantation. The investigator will investigate the effects of auricular neurostimulation with this novel device and compare it to the current standard of care for pain management following liver transplantation.
Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is a major health concern in the United States, particularly among people with liver cirrhosis. Out of every 100 patients with liver cancer, only 18 will survive 5 years or more. While locoregional therapies are utilized in an effort to combat this disease, the recurrence rate of HCC after these therapies are high. Statins are widely used drugs that lower cholesterol levels. Some studies have suggested that statins lower risk of HCC recurrence, but this possibility has not been studied thoroughly in a clinical trial. This study will examine the effects of pravastatin, a type of statin, on time to HCC recurrence in patients with early stage HCC. It is possible that pravastatin in combination with locoregional therapies may delay or protect against HCC recurrence.
