Assessment of Pharmacokinetics of Single Dose Odanacatib (MK-0822) in Participants With Moderate...
Hepatic InsufficiencyThis open-label, non-randomized study was designed to compare pharmacokinetics of a single 50 milligram (mg) dose of MK-0822 in participants with and without moderate hepatic insufficiency (abnormal liver function) in order to determine to what degree hepatic dysfunction may impact therapeutic blood levels of MK-0822. The primary hypothesis is that plasma AUC0-∞ of odanacatib in participants with moderate hepatic insufficiency is similar to that in matched healthy participants following a single 50 mg oral dose.

Acute on Chronic Hepatic Failure50 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
Pharmacokinetics of Anacetrapib (MK0859) in Patients With Hepatic Insufficiency (MK-0859-039)
DyslipidemiaThis study will evaluate the Area Under the Curve (AUC(0 to infinity)) of anacetrapib.
A Phase I/II Safety and Tolerability Dose Escalation Study of Autologous Stem Cells to Patients...
Liver DiseaseThis 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.

To Study the Role of Plasma Von Willebrand Factor Antigen (vWF) to A Disintegrin-like and Metalloproteinase...
Acute on Chronic Liver FailureAcute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a syndrome characterized by acute decompensation of chronic liver disease associated with organ failures and high short- term mortality. Development of systemic inflammation and subsequent organ failures determines is associate with poor outcome and short-term mortality. Previous studies have shown that endothelial injury leading to increase in levels of and exhaustion of its cleaving protein a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13 (ADAMTS 13) which promotes the platelet microthrombi formation and subsequent organ ischemia. We propose that the vWF : ADAMTS 13 ratio can be predict the organ failure development and subsequent mortality in ACLF patients, which is considered to be a inflammatory state.
