Active clinical trials for "Liver Diseases"

The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetic profile of bardoxolone methyl following a single oral dose of 20 mg bardoxolone methyl in subjects with mild, moderate, and severe hepatic impairment, as compared to healthy volunteers.

The principal purpose of this study is to determine whether increased intakes of n-3 polyunsaturated (omega-3) fatty acids will reduce the amount of fat stored in the liver in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Does remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) induced by a brief period of occlusion of blood flow to the lower extremity prior to organ recovery in deceased donors, improve short and long term outcomes after transplantation of kidneys, livers and pancreas? To test this hypothesis deceased organ donors will be randomized to receive either RIPC or No RIPC before organ recovery. RIPC will be induced in the operating room after commencement of procurement surgery. RIPC will be induced by tourniquet-induced occlusion of blood flow to the lower extremity for 10 minutes in each side, for a total duration of 20 minutes. The remainder of the organ recovery and organ preservation will be as per standard of practice. Recovered livers, kidneys and pancreas will be transplanted into allocated recipients. Transplantation and patient management after transplantation will be as per standard of practice. Organ-specific function and cell injury parameters will be utilized to assess the early postoperative outcomes of individual organs and recipients. Long term outcomes will be assessed by graft and recipient survival.

Babies in the newborn intensive care unit who are dependent upon intravenous nutrition for a long period of time frequently develop liver damage. The fat used is called intralipid and is made from soybean oil. There is a suggestion in the literature that using fish oil based fats called omega-3 fat emulsions can decrease or even reverse this liver damage. We will offer babies with evidence of liver damage and no ability to eat,the Omegaven and see if the liver damage reverses.

This is a case-control study that aims to build a predictive model for MAFLD based on machine learning.

The purpose of the study is to determine if providing participants with alcohol-related liver disease with tailored alcohol use treatment options is feasible and acceptable in order to increase their engagement with treatment and reduce alcohol use. This is an important area to study to help create ways to increase participants' knowledge about different treatment options as well as increase likelihood of seeking and participating in alcohol use disorder treatments.

Is acamprosate safe to use in individuals with liver disease.

This study will look at physical activity and nutrition in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The researchers will see if providing patients with NAFLD/NASH with specific physical activity and nutrition feedback as an addition to their usual clinical care helps them to lose weight and improve liver-related parameters.

To prospectively collect and evaluate pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative variables for all patients undergoing surgical microwave ablation. All patients who have a surgical microwave ablation with the Neuwave system will be added to the database after their treatment and procedures have been completed.

This is a study of experimental medication BMS-986036 given to adults with Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH; the buildup of fat and inflammation in the liver that is not caused by alcohol) and stage 3 liver fibrosis (severe fibrosis).
