Active clinical trials for "Liver Failure"

Synopsis Title of Study A prospective, randomized, single blind multicentre phase III study on organ preservation with Custodiol-N compared with Custodiol solution in organ transplantation (kidney, liver and pancreas) Protocol number: CL-N-KLP-TX-III/07-AT/17 Trial design The study design is a prospective, randomized, single blind, multicentre, phase III comparison study of organ perfusion intended to demonstrate non-inferiority of Custodiol-N against Custodiol in organ transplantation of kidney, combined kidney-pancreas and liver. Intended duration of study The overall duration for the trial is expected to be approximately 30 months. The du-ration of the trial for each subject is expected to be 3 months (transplantation and a follow-up period of 90 days). Purpose of the study The objective of this investigation is to demonstrate non-inferiority of graft preservation with Custodiol-N compared to Custodiol with respect to both graft function and injury after transplantation of kidney, liver or combined kidney-pancreas. Patient selection The study population will be selected from patients who will undergo kidney, liver or combined kidney-pancreas transplantation. Patients of each gender will be included in the study. Planned number of patients (recipients) In total N=614 including: Kidney 412 (including approx. 30 combined kidney-pancreas) Liver 202

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.

Because of the insufficiency of cadaveric organs and increasing need for organs, the interest in living donor liver transplantation have been greatly increased. The relative reduction of the remaining liver after the operation in Living Liver Donors makes it difficult and compelling to choose a very effective and very safe method in the management of postoperative analgesia. Opioids are the main agents used in the postoperative analgesia of Live Liver Donors. Opioids have serious side effects such as respiratory depression, apnea, circulatory collapse, coma, and death. Both short-term and long-term administration of opioids cause acute opioid-induced hyperalgesia. Ketamine, an NMDA receptor antagonist, has been hypothesized to counter opioid tolerance and NMDA receptor-mediated central sensitization. Various studies and systematic reviews have shown that low-dose ketamine has an opioid-sparing effect in all surgical patients. Although low-dose ketamine has been shown to be beneficial overall in relieving pain, it is unclear whether it has an identified benefit in hepatectomy cases. The aim of this clinical trial was to evaluate the effect of low-dose ketamine administration on postoperative analgesia in living donor liver donors undergoing right hepatectomy procedure.

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.

The main purpose of this study is to measure how much of LY3502970 gets into the bloodstream and how long it takes the body to eliminate it in participants with mild, moderate and severe impaired liver function compared to participants with normal liver function. The safety and tolerability of LY3502970 will also be evaluated. The study may last up to 6 weeks for each participant including the screening period.

A proof-of-concept placebo-controlled trial to explore the acute and 14-day effects of empagliflozin on natriuresis and total body water in patients with cirrhosis and ascites. We will additionally investigate its effect on neurohumoral activation, and renal hemodynamics.

The main purpose of this study is to measure how much of Imlunestrant (LY3484356) gets into the bloodstream and how long it takes the body to eliminate it in female participants with impaired liver function compared to female participants with normal liver function. The side effects and tolerability of Imlunestrant will also be evaluated. The study may last up to 46 days for each participant.

The main purpose of this study is to measure how much of LY3437943 gets into the bloodstream and how long it takes the body to eliminate it in participants with mild, moderate and severe impaired liver function compared to healthy participants with normal liver function. The safety and tolerability of LY3437943 will also be evaluated. The study may last up to 9 weeks for each participant including the screening period.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of veliparib when given together with paclitaxel and carboplatin in treating patients with solid tumors that are metastatic or cannot be removed by surgery and liver or kidney dysfunction. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving veliparib together with paclitaxel and carboplatin may kill more tumor cells.
