Active clinical trials for "Liver Cirrhosis, Alcoholic"

This phase III clinical trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) injected hepatic artery.

This is a double-blind, phase 2 study to evaluate safety and efficacy of rosuvastatin in comparison to placebo after 2 years in patients with compensated cirrhosis.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerance of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) in patients with decompensated alcoholic cirrhosis, and to provide dose basis for subsequent clinical study design. We will also explore the possible mechanism of UCMSCs in the treatment of decompensated alcoholic cirrhosis (DAC).

The proposed of this randomized, double blinded, placebo-controlled study is to assess the effect of SAMe compared to placebo in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis Child Class A and B. The primary objective of the study is to test relationship between SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine) supplement on liver function. The hypothesis is that SAMe supplement will improve liver function in patients with alcoholic liver disease. The improvement in liver function will lead to the reduction in all-cause mortality in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis in those who receive SAMe supplement when compared to those receiving placebo.

This Long-term follow-up is designed to evaluate the safety of patient with Alcoholic Liver Cirrhosis who had administered Cellgram-LC in PMC-P-07 study.

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.

Investigators wishes to influence the gut microbiota in patients with alcoholic liver disease in a randomized controlled clinical trial. The investigators hypothesize that the alcohol-related dysbiosis seen in these patients can be changed and disease progression haltered by modulating microbiota with probiotics during 24 weeks.

Alcoholic hepatitis carries a risk of high mortality at short term, especially in its severe form. Its diagnosis is confirmed by liver biopsy. The prevalence of alcoholic hepatitis, severe or not severe, is poorly known and prospective data are needed. The present observational study aims to define the prevalence of alcoholic hepatitis among patients admitted for jaundice and determine their outcome according to the severity. Survival and markers of liver dysfunction will be assessed. A biobank including genetic samples will be created to identify the disease profile in terms of inflammation and regeneration. The performance of non-invasive criteria for diagnosis will also be studied.

A population based incidence cohort will enroll patients newly diagnosed with cirrhosis to investigate disease characteristics and outcomes, explore mechanisms predicting early death and hospital admission, and assess new monitoring tools in treatment and prevention of cirrhosis.

Liver Cirrhosis Network (LCN) Cohort Study is an observational study designed to identify risk factors and develop prediction models for risk of decompensation in adults with liver cirrhosis. LCN Cohort Study involves multiple institutions and an anticipated 1200 participants. Enrolled participants will have study visits every 6 months (180 days), with opportunities to complete specific visit components via telehealth or remotely. Visits will include collection of questionnaire data and the in-person visits will include questionnaires, physical exams, imaging, and sample collection.
