Active clinical trials for "Liver Diseases"

This study is designed to compare how ZD4054 (Zibotentan) is taken up, how it is broken down and removed from the body in subjects with liver cirrhosis and hepatic impairment compared to healthy subjects of a similar age, sex and weight. As for all clinical trials, safety and tolerability of the drug will be evaluated as well to develop dosing recommendations for dosing of ZD4054 (Zibotentan) in subjects with varying stages of hepatic impairment.

This study is designed to determine the effects of a single dose of the study medication in subjects with and without hepatic impairment. 18 to 24 subjects will participate by having multiple blood draws taken to measure the level of study medication in their blood over time.

The aim of the study is to examine whether the compound herbal formula (RHD-1) is effective on HBV Carrier With Abnormal Liver Function.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of once-daily Oral avatrombopagin subjects with chronic liver diseases and thrombocytopenia prior to elective surgical or diagnostic procedures, to evaluate the safety of short-term administration of avatrombopag and to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of E5501.

Trial Synopsis: Bovine Colostrum for patients with non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Design: This is a single-arm, open-label, before-and after exploratory trial of 30 days of Bovine Colostrum Powder (BCP) to improve NAFLD and the metabolic syndrome. Duration: 8 weeks per subject. Sample Size: 30 subjects. Population: Patients with biopsy proven NASH (NAS of > 4) and an ALT level of ≥ 30 (U/L). Regimen Study treatment will consist of BCP, three 1.2 g oral tablets (equivalent to 600 mg of BCP each) for 4 weeks, from cows immunized to insulin. Patients will be followed for safety monitoring for an additional 4 weeks.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Covidien's Hemostatic Patch to control bleeding during hepatic surgery. The performance of the Hemostatic Patch will be compared to Control as an adjunct to conventional hemostatic techniques.

The purpose of this research study is to see how effective bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) is in determining body composition (the amount of fat versus muscle in the body) and nutritional status in patients with End Stage Liver Disease (ESLD)

The purpose of this study was to explore whether a brief (3 session) intervention would impact health behavior of veterans with hepatitis C. The main focus of the intervention was on reduction of heavy drinking with patients who have liver disease. Other study goals were to increase the likelihood that patients would seek out substance use treatment and/or hepatitis C health care services. The study also tested the use of a liver function test called CDT/GGT in detecting heavy drinking. The main hypothesis was that a 3 session intervention with personalized feedback about health behavior would result in a reduction in alcohol use and increased use of substance use treatment and hepatology health care.

The primary goal of this study is to provide a better understanding of: 1) the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in obese subjects, and 2) the effect of marked weight loss on the histologic and metabolic abnormalities associated with NAFLD. The following hypotheses will be tested: obesity causes hepatic fat accumulation because of excessive fatty acid release from fat tissue and increased free fatty acid availability, increased hepatic (liver) fat content causes insulin-resistant glucose (sugar) production by the liver and altered liver protein synthesis, increased hepatic fat content causes increased lipid (fat) peroxidation, hepatic inflammation, necrosis and fibrosis, and marked weight loss improves NAFLD once patients are weight stable.

The purpose of the study was to assess the steady-state pharmacokinetics (PK) of efavirenz (EFV) in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infected subjects on stable antiretroviral regimens containing EFV, and having selected degrees of hepatic impairment or normal hepatic function.
