Active clinical trials for "Liver Diseases"

This study is to assess the pharmacokinetics of deferasirox in hepatically impaired patients compared to healthy volunteers.

This study will assess the pharmacokinetics and tolerability of a single dose of GW406381 in subjects with moderate hepatic impairment in comparison to matched healthy volunteers. The hepatically impaired and healthy groups will be given a single 20 mg oral dose of GW406381. Blood samples for PK analysis will be collected pre-dose and over the 72 hours post dosing. Subjects will be housed from the evening before dosing until 24 hours after dosing. A follow-up visit will be conducted between 7 to 10 days from the last dose of study drug.

Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of bortezomib in treating patients with advanced cancer and liver dysfunction.

Alemtuzumab is a man-made antibody used to treat certain blood disorders. Tacrolimus is a drug used to decrease immune system activity in people who have received organ transplants so that the new organ will not be rejected. This study will determine whether treatment with alemtuzumab and tacrolimus is effective in preventing organ rejection and maintaining the recipient's health after liver transplantation in patients with end-stage liver disease, and whether gradual tapering of tacrolimus treatment is safe for these patients.

The overall goal of the research project is to improve the outcome of medical care for injection drug users (IDUs) with Hepatitis C viral (HCV) infection. Hypothesis: An intervention designed to improve the rate of HCV treatment completion and sustained virologic response (SVR) in IDUs will increase access by integrating HCV medical care into a substance abuse treatment program.

The purpose of this study is to compare three treatment regimens in patients who have received a liver transplant for end-stage liver disease caused by Chronic Hepatitis C infection.

This study aim to find out metabolic molecules in blood and urine which could identify high risk of advanced fibrosis in MAFLD patients via NMR-based metabolic profiling.

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in Western countries and one of the leading causes of liver transplantation in the world. Its spectrum ranges from simple steatosis to decompensated cirrhosis, resulting from progressive fibrosis due to inflammation and cellular injury. The reasons why patients with the same degree of steatosis have different evolutions are not sufficiently known. The objective of this project is to identify biomarkers that predict disease progression, using omics techniques, which can serve to develop new therapeutic strategies.

The goal of this clinical trial study is to investigate comparing Effects of Beetroot juice and Mediterranean diet on Liver Enzymes and Sonographic appearance in Patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Beetroot juice has role in reduce Liver Enzymes Mediterranean diet has role in reduce Liver Enzymes

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of tocotrienol-rich fraction vitamin E supplementation on liver enzymes in overweight and obese children with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease as compared to placebo. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Does supplementation of tocotrienol-rich fraction vitamin E reduce the level of liver enzymes and improve liver steatosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease among overweight and obese children? Does tocotrienol-rich fraction vitamin E supplementation improve the level of liver steatosis by reducing the level of DNA damage? Participants will : consume daily either a dose of 50 mg of tocotrienol-rich fraction (TRF) vitamin E or a placebo for 6 months. Routine clinical assessments include weight, height, waist circumference, and BMI. Fasting glucose, and fasting serum lipid. The following investigations were performed upon recruitment and following 6 months of intervention: (i) liver biomarker and enzymes; (ii) DNA damage; (iii) TNFα, IL-6 and IFN-gamma genes; (iv) Fibroscan.
