Active clinical trials for "Liver Failure"

To investigate the influence of mild, moderate, and severe liver impairment on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of linagliptin in comparison with a control group with normal hepatic function after single or multiple oral administration of 5 mg linagliptin tablets

50 patients of Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) will be enrolled and randomized into G-CSF+EPO or Placebo arms Treatment protocol To administer G-CSF (in prefilled syringe) at a dose of 5 µg/kg s/c at days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and then every 3rd day till day 28 (total 12 doses), along with Darbopoetin alpha 100 mcg/ week (in prefilled syringe) for 4 weeks (total 4 doses). Standard medical therapy included as per requirement lactulose, bowel wash, albumin, terlipressin, antibiotics (if indicated) will be continued and recorded. Pentoxiphylline in alcoholic hepatitis and Tenofovir in Hep B reactivation Controls: Standard medical therapy will be given along with placebo in similar prefilled syringes. Follow up Physical examination will be done daily, after 1 week and at 4 weeks, at 2 months, at 3 months and at 6 months CBC on alternate day for 1 week, at end of 1 week and then at end of 4 weeks , at 2 months, at 3 months and at 6 months KFT on alternate day for 1 week, at end of 1 week and then at end of 4 weeks, at 2 months, at 3 months and at 6 months LFT along with PT/INR on alternate day for 1 week, at end of 1 week and then at end of 4 weeks, at 2 months, at 3 months and at 6 months AFP at baseline, after 4 weeks, at 3 months and at 6 months Liver regenerative potential efficacy testing at baseline and after 4 weeks

This study will evaluate the Area Under the Curve (AUC(0 to infinity)) of anacetrapib.

This phase I/II, multi-center study is designed to determine the pharmacokinetic profile of Raltegravir in patients with end stage liver disease and to assess drug-drug interaction when Raltegravir is combined with immunosuppressive therapy in liver transplant recipients.

This is a prospective dose escalation study of the administration of adult human stem cells in patients with end stage liver failure. Successive groups of two patients will receive ascending doses of autologous adult human stem cells starting at 1x10[9] cells. Following expansion in an approved Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) facility the cells will be infused into either the hepatic artery or portal vein of research participants. The aim of this trial is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of autologous adult stem cells when infused into either the hepatic artery or the portal vein. The maximum dose that would be given would be 5x10 to the ten [10]. To assess improvement in liver function as measured by serological and biochemical analysis and determine whether there are any symptomatic improvements as reported by the patients.

A study to compare the plasma concentrations of MK0431 at different times in patients with hepatic insufficiency vs healthy control subjects.

The purpose of this study is to improve the survival rate of those patients with acute fulminant hepatitis through treatment with the MARS® extra-corporal liver-purification system by: Reducing the number of patients who die before a graft is available Increasing the chances of survival without a liver transplant Reducing the pre- and post-operative mortality in transplant patients

A three sequence, open-label, multi-center, prospective, study in stable liver transplant patients to assess and compare the pharmacokinetics (Cmax, C24, and AUC), and safety of LCP-Tacro (tacrolimus) tablets versus Prograf (tacrolimus) capsules.

The primary objective of the study was to compare the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Extracorporeal Albumin Dialysis (ECAD) using the Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System (MARS®) device in improving severe HE by 2 grades compared to Standard Medical Therapy (SMT) in patients with chronic End Stage Liver Disease (ESLD) during a 5 day study period.

This is an investigational study of experimental Medication BMS-986231 given to participants with weakened or damaged liver function.
