Active clinical trials for "Liver Diseases"

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of a home meal delivery program for patients with cirrhosis and ascites and to determine the effectiveness of a salt-restricted (2 gram sodium) meal delivery program in reducing the need for therapeutic paracenteses and/or all-cause re-admissions for these patients. Many patients with cirrhosis don't have enough nutrients in the body and are frail and these meals may help them maintain a good diet and lead to improved quality of life.

Purpose of the study will investigate the effects of two different training programs on hepatic steatosis and physical fitness parameters. This trial is designed in a randomized controlled study plan and aerobic training (40 minutes) wil be combined with Whole Body Vibration Training (WBVT for 15 minutes) which is made up of a shorter time application. WBVT to be applied instead of the resistance exercises.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the leading cause of chronic liver disease in the United States. The most advanced forms of NAFLD are associated with increased liver-related mortality and lower overall survival. The current standard of care for NAFLD is lifestyle changes through diet and exercise. The human genome and regulation of gene expression is influenced by physical activity. NAFLD is a prothrombotic state with derangements in all three phases of hemostasis leading to clinically important clotting events. Exercise can improve coagulation in healthy persons. In this proposal, we seek to begin a line of work to answer the question "Can lifestyle changes effectively mitigate the increased risk of clotting in patients with NAFLD?" focusing initially on the at-risk population genetically susceptible to advanced disease.

Study AG120-C-012 is a Phase 1, open-label, single-dose study designed to evaluate the PK, safety, and tolerability of a single 500 mg AG-120 (Ivosidenib) dose in subjects with mild or moderate hepatic impairment (HI) compared to subjects with normal hepatic function. The study will be conducted at 2 US centers.

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the changes in coagulation factor VIII and IX levels in patients undergoing liver transplantation to help guide future management of coagulation factor replacement in patients with hemophilia and liver disease. The question we aim to answer is: should the recommendations for factor replacement in patients with hereditary bleeding disorders be altered in the setting of end stage liver cirrhosis? Participants will be asked to provide two blood samples, one at the beginning of their liver transplant, and one after their liver transplant.

This observational study aims to learn about the correlation between the improving comorbidities associated with obesity after MGB (Mini-Gastric Bypass) surgery and changes in body composition in morbidly obese patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: To study the correlation between the improving comorbidities associated with obesity after MGB(Mini-Gastric Bypass) surgery and changes in body composition. Other objectives are: Changes in the parameters of the metabolic syndrome after surgery Changes in the cardiovascular risk biomarkers after metabolic surgery Emergence in complications arising out of surgery requiring any intervention or causing a prolonged hospital stay, or requiring additional outpatient visits. Type of Study: An observational study in which participants with morbid obesity will undergo mini-gastric bypass surgery as per routine protocol. No separate experimental interventions will be done in the study for the participants.

The Early Liver Disease Breath Detection Study is a cross-sectional study where subjects with advanced liver fibrosis will ingest a mixture of food-grade compounds (known as Exogenous Volatile Organic Compound or EVOCs) in the form of an emulsion and then provide multiple breath samples. These EVOCs can be measured on exhaled breath and it has been found that liver diseases can affect the way EVOCs are processed in the body. The objective is to identify if changes in the way these EVOCs are processed in the body can have the potential to diagnose early stage liver diseases for these subjects. Subjects with fibro-scan confirmed fibrosis will be recruited from Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) by local research staff, they will be invited to take part in the study at a dedicated clinic at OneNorwich Practises a clinic based in Norwich City Centre. They will be asked to fast overnight then provide a baseline breath sample, before ingesting the food-grade EVOCs emulsion and then providing additional breath samples at subsequent time points up to 90 minutes post ingestion.

This is a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, once daily (QD) dose study of CRV431 in presumed NASH F2/F3 subjects.

This multiple-center, nonrandomized, open label, parallel group, single dose study will be conducted in male and female subjects with normal hepatic function or moderate (Child-Pugh Class B) hepatic impairment to evaluate the effect of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of KBP-5074.

This study is to investigate the pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety of M2951 (Bruton's tyrosine kinase [BTK] inhibitor) in participants with different degrees of hepatic impairment compared to participants with normal hepatic function.
