Filter by:The purpose of the study is to estimate the usefulness of the QuantiFERON®-TB Gold test for the diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection in liver transplant candidates by correlating the test results with risk factors for LTBI
This is an exploratory study and is a Phase 3, single-arm, multi-center, open-label study of pegylated interferon alfa-2b, PEG-IFN alpha-2b (PEG-Intron) and ribavirin (RBV) to determine the sustained virologic response (SVR) at 24-week follow-up to 48 week in subjects after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) with chronic hepatitis C (HCV) recurrence.
The study is designed to show that everolimus initiation together with reduction and thereafter discontinuation of calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) will improve significantly renal function in de novo liver transplant recipients as compared to continuation of CNI-based treatment.
To determine the safety and efficacy of early corticosteroid discontinuation in liver transplant recipients more than 90 days post transplant, utilizing a combination of two drugs (tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil) for maintenance immunosuppressant therapy.
The use of CNIs (CSA or FK) as primary immunosuppressive drugs after pediatric liver transplantation is one of the main causes of chronic kidney disease in these patients in the long term. The study objective is the evaluation of safety of a modification in immunosuppression from a dual-immunosuppression (CSA or FK plus steroids) to a triple immunosuppression (MMF plus CSA (reduced dosage) plus steroids.
The objectives of the study are:To compare the renal function of a quadruple immunosuppressive regimen (including basiliximab in combination with an optimized cyclosporine dose during the first weeks post-transplantation, mycophenolate mofetil and corticosteroids) versus a standard triple therapy regimen (including cyclosporine standard dose, mycophenolate mofetil and corticosteroids)
The aim of this exploratory study is to evaluate the rejection rate in patients treated with cyclosporine (CsA) preceding oral administration of cyclosporine micro emulsion in de novo liver recipients. The blood levels of CsA and CsA micro emulsion will be monitored by C-2h monitoring. In addition, this study will assess the safety of this treatment regimen.
The purpose of the study is to compare the safety and efficacy of two different tacrolimus based immunosuppressive regimens, one in combination with daclizumab, the other in combination with steroids, in recipients of suboptimal livers. Pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus and bile composition will be measured in a subgroup of patients.
Antirejection medicines, also known as immunosuppressive drugs, are prescribed to organ transplant recipients to prevent their bodies from rejecting the new organ. Long-term use of these drugs places transplant recipients at higher risk of serious infections and certain types of cancer. The purpose of this study is to determine whether immunosuppressive drugs can be safely withdrawn over a minimum of 9 months from children who received liver transplants at least 4 years ago.
Previous rather poor results in liver transplantation (LT) of patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have made the application of LT very limited in treatment of HCC. The advantages of ADV-TK gene therapy highlight its potentiality as adjuvant treatment for HCC patients after LT. We reported here the improved outcome of LT with combined treatment of ADV-TK gene therapy in patients with intermediate or advanced HCC.
