Active clinical trials for "Liver Diseases"

To achieve global hepatitis C virus (HCV) elimination by 2030, 80% of the ~71 million people with chronic HCV infection will need to be treated, necessitating simplification of treatment delivery and associated laboratory monitoring without compromising efficacy or safety. The COVID-19 pandemic has further highlighted the need for innovative models of health care delivery that minimize face-to-face patient-provider contact. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of a minimal monitoring (MINMON) strategy to deliver interferon- and RBV-free, pan-genotypic DAA therapy to treat active HCV in HCV treatment naïve participants.

This is a multicenter, Phase IIb, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two Aramchol doses in subjects that are 18 to 75 years of age, with Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) confirmed by liver biopsy performed in a period of 6 months before entering the study, with overweight or obesity and who are pre diabetic or type II diabetic. Eligible subjects will be enrolled into three treatments arms: Aramchol 400 and 600 mg tablets and placebo tablets in ratio 2:2:1. The subjects will be evaluated at study sites for 11 scheduled visits during one year (52 weeks). After completion of the study treatment period, the subjects will be followed for an additional period of 13 weeks without study medication (until visit 11 (week 65)).

Purpose - To evaluate the efficacy of Biphenyl dimethyl dicarboxylate(DDB)/Garlic Oil in patients with elevated transaminase chronic liver disease.

The study is an unblinded randomized trial, designed to examine whether gastric- or jejunal feeding tubes are the most effect full to feed patients with alcoholic liver diseases and non-sufficient oral intake. The primary outcome will be differences in nutrition intake between the groups. Secondary outcomes will be: the amount of unplanned tube discontinuations; handgrip and patients' quality of life, nausea & vomiting. The study will include 40 patients at Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark.

Up to 38 subjects entered with the aim of entering 8 subjects with mild liver impairment (at highest dose of afatinib), 8 subjects with moderate liver impairment (at either highest dose or two lower doses) and 8 healthy matched controls to each of this two groups.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate systemic exposure of abiraterone acetate in adult male patients with severe hepatic impairment and is being conducted to collect information that will support clinical dosing recommendations for this subpopulation.

The study is a randomized, open-label safety study comparing the use of anidulafungin (200 mg i.v. as initial dose and 100 mg/d i.v. in subsequent doses) vs liposomal amphotericin B (3 mg/kg/d i.v.) in hepatic transplant recipients who have high risk of fungal infection.

The objective of the study is to show that substitution of the usual lipid emulsion (Intralipid 20%®) at a dose between 0.5 and 1.0 g/kg/infusion of parenteral nutrition (n-6:n-3 ratio = 7:1) by an equivalent dose of 0.5 to 1 g/kg/infusion of another lipid emulsion, OMEGAVEN 10%® very rich in omega-3 (n-3) (n-6:n-3 ratio = 1:7) induces regression of PNALD due to the anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects of n-3 EFA. Regression of liver disease will be defined by normalization of the five liver function tests (LFT): conjugated bilirubin, gamma GT, alkaline phosphatase, AST and ALT transaminases.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a clinical/biochemical condition associated with the metabolic syndrome. As the disease stems from excess calorie intake and lack of physical activity, the correction of unhealthy lifestyles is the background of any prevention and treatment strategy

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether exenatide is superior to insulin glargine (after 24 weeks) in reducing liver fat content (by MRS) in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus and concomitant non-alcoholic fatty-liver disease(NAFLD).
