Active clinical trials for "Acute-On-Chronic Liver Failure"

This multi-centric study analyses the effect of intravenous branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) on overt HE in patients with ACLF. The investigators aim to study the efficacy of combining intravenous BCAA with lactulose versus lactulose alone, ammonia measures, endotoxin, metabolomics, and cerebral edema in the medical management of overt HE in patients with ACLF. The study will also access the impact on overall survival and improvement in the grade of HE.

This is an interventional, double blind, randomized (2:1), and placebo-controlled study of 1 dose regimen of HepaStem in patients recently diagnosed (≤1 week) with ACLF grade 1 or 2 on top of Standard of Care (SoC), and for whom the diagnosis is not resolved on the day of infusion.

This study is to investigate the clinical efficacy of three types of nucleotide/nucleoside analogues in treatment of HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure.

Various parameters will be assessed during the procedure before and after 1 hour of 12.5 mg carvedilol such as HVPG (WHVP - FHVP), SVR, heart rate, cardiac output, cardiac index, Blood pressure (systolic, diastolic and mean), SpO2. Routine treatment of the patients will be continued as per the Institute protocol. These patients will be assessed for the liver transplant free survival at 28 days and complications [PHT related bleed, AKI, infections, HE] within 90 days; transplant-free survival rate at 90 days; evolution of the AARC score for 2 wk.

In this project, we plan to evaluate whether a new, rotational thromboelastometry-guided algorithm (ROTEM) to guide hemostatic resuscitation decreases the use of allogeneic blood products, the total amount of bleeding, transfusion related side effects, thromboembolic complications and costs. Its effect on each patient's post-operative hemostatic profile is also measured. We plan to enroll 140 patients having ACLF with variceal bleeding randomized into two groups: one will be treated conventionally using clinical judgement and standard coagulation tests such as prothrombin time, platelet count, etc. the other treated using a ROTEM-based algorithm. They will be followed for development of rebleeding, complications of transfusion and any signs of infection after hospitalization

This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of avatrombopag for treating thrombocytopenia in hepatitis b virus related acute-on-chronic liver failure patients receiving artificial liver support system treatment.

A Prospective, Single-Center trial, in Patients With Acute on Chronic Liver Failure. Study of Standard Medical Care Plus CytoSorb® Compared to Standard Medical Care Alone in a historical group.

This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled PhaseⅡ clinical trial . The main objective of this study was to confirm the efficacy and safety of F573 for injection in the treatment of liver injury/failure.

Acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a type of critically ill liver disease with high short-term mortality in liver disease. Liver transplantation is currently the only method to improve survival. Current clinical research evidence shows that mesenchymal stem cells can reduce the mortality of ACLF patients and are safe. This study aims to explore the safety of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) in the treatment of ACLF. The study population is ACLF patients with 1-2 organ failures. To explore the safety of 3 doses of UC-MSCs, 16 patients need to be enrolled. The main observation indicators are the short-term and long-term safety of the treatment. All patients need to receive the standard medical treatment (SMT) at the same time. Stem cell treatment is given by intravenous infusion on the first, fourth, seventh, and tenth day. The occurrence of adverse events (AE) and serious adverse events(SAE) before and after the infusion will be observed. After the patient is discharged from the hospital, patients will be followed , the follow-up time is 5 years.

Patients with Acute on Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF) have high short-term mortality. The use of a severity score could define the patient's prognosis. This study mainly prospectively analyze the clinical data of patients with chronic liver disease related acute liver failure admitted to the department of infectious diseases, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, to analyze the prognosis of patients with chronic liver disease related acute on-chronic liver failure in Central South China. No additional interventions other than routine treatment will be added.
