Active clinical trials for "Liver Failure"

The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with the ELAD Bioartificial Liver Assist Device is beneficial to patients in Acute Liver Failure either as a bridge to liver transplant or bridge to native liver recovery.

This study is investigate the influence of severe hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of acalabrutinib and its metabolite.

In this study, all patients with ACLF (Acute on Chronic Liver Failure) with grade III/IV HE (Hepatic Encephalopathy) getting admitted in our institute will be enrolled after the fulfilment of inclusion/exclusion criteria and consent of the patient's attendants. Investigation of the patient (as mentioned in the proforma) will be done. Intervention step 1: liq Lactulose 100 mL stat followed by 30 mL/ hourly through NG/NJ route + Lactulose enema 3rd hourly - till 4 time soft stool is passed, then 30 mL through enteral route 6th hourly (If patient has no bowel sounds, only enema will be given) Intervention step 2: (after 24 hours of introduction of step 1, if no rapid reduction in ammonia to <70mcg/dL) Randomization to L or R arm R Arm (Addition of Rifaximin) Continuation of Lactulose + addition of Rifaximin 400 mg 8th hourly through enteral route L Arm (Lactulose only) Continuation of Lactulose therapy for further 48 hours.

All consecutive patients admitted in ILBS from MAY 2015 to DECEMBER 2016.ACLF (Acute on chronic Liver Failure). ACLF will be randomize into Group 1: MVP (Modest Volume Paracentesis) OF Less than 5 liters with IV albumin at a dose 8 gms/L of ascitic fluid Group 2: MVP (Modest Volume Paracentesis) of Less than 5 liters without albumin

This study will compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) of grazoprevir (MK-5172) when administered to participants with mild, moderate or severe hepatic insufficiency (assessed by the criteria of the Child-Pugh's scale) with the PK of grazoprevir when administered to healthy participants.

This study aimed to investigate the influence of hepatic insufficiency on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of doravirine (MK-1439). In Part 1, PK of doravirine in participants with moderate hepatic insufficiency was compared with that of healthy control subjects matched with regard to mean age and weight. If a clinically meaningful increase in exposure of doravirine was observed in participants with moderate hepatic insufficiency in Part 1, study Part 2 was to evaluate PK of doravirine in participants with mild hepatic insufficiency.

The objective was to determine if hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection or mild to severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Classes A, B, and C) altered the PK of buprenorphine, norbuprenorphine, or naloxone.

This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics of ridaforolimus including the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC[0-infinity]) and maximum concentration (Cmax) after administration of a single dose of ridaforolimus in patients with moderate hepatic insufficiency and healthy matched control subjects.

This was a 3-part study comparing the pharmacokinetics after administration of vaniprevir (MK-7009) for participants with mild, moderate or severe hepatic insufficiency with healthy matched control participants. The primary hypothesis is that the area under the curve (AUC) (0 to infinity) of vaniprevir for participants with mild, moderate, or severe hepatic insufficiency is similar to that observed in healthy matched controlled participants.

Point-of-care echocardiography (POC-Echo) is used to determine left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction (LVDD), inferior vena cava (IVC) dynamics and volume status in cirrhosis and Acute-on-chronic liver failure ACLF accurately. We will assess IVC dynamics, LV systolic function [LV ejection fraction (EF) & cardiac output (CO)], and diastolic dysfunction (E/e', e' and E/A ratio) and urinary biomarkers (cystatin C and NGAL) in patients with cirrhosis and ACLF with hepatorenal syndrome-acute kidney injury (HRS-AKI).
