Active clinical trials for "Liver Diseases"

Background: Cirrhotic patients have an increased risk of infections. In these patients is important to prevent hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, as it may cause a deterioration of liver function. However, HBV vaccine efficacy in this group of patients is lower than in healthy population. Despite increasing standard doses to double doses or administering an accelerated pattern, the response to HBV vaccination remains suboptimal. For this reason, an alternative strategy may be using vaccines with novel adjuvants such as Fendrix® or the recombinant vaccine HBVAXPRO®. Aim: To assess the adjuvanted HBV vaccine (Fendrix ®) efficacy in patients with chronic liver disease and to understand the kinetics of anti-HBs titers over time in patients who respond to vaccination. Methods: Prospective and multicenter study. Serological markers of HBV will be assessed prospectively in consecutive patients with non-cirrhotic liver disease (permanent abnormal liver blood tests > six months; elastogram ≥8 kilopascal (kPa); serum markers of fibrosis (APRI or FIB-4 ≥ F2); ultrasound changes suggesting chronic liver disease) and cirrhotic patients (diagnosed by liver biopsy and/or non-invasive methods: clinical, blood tests and ultrasound). Seronegative patients will receive four doses of Fendrix ® at 0,1, 2 and 6 months. Antibodies against HBV superficial antigen (anti-HBs) will be determined at 2 months +/- 10 days, six months and one year after having received the fourth dose of the vaccine (to see kinetics). The study will differentiate between responders and non-responders to the vaccine: adequate immunity to HBV will be defined as anti-HBs higher than > 10mUI/mL (standard definition of seroconversion) and> 100mUI/mL. Investigators will evaluate the factors that influence the response, kinetics and safety of the vaccination in patients with chronic liver disease and cirrhosis.

This study is for men and women have been diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and will consequently participate in the YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program.

Phase 1, open-label, parallel group, PK, safety and tolerability study in patients with an advanced solid tumor and either normal hepatic function (Group 1, n = 8) or moderate hepatic impairment (Group 2, n = 8) according to the NCI-ODWG criteria. Patients in Group 1 and Group 2 may be enrolled in parallel, with preferential enrollment of Group 2 patients before Group 1 patients. The study will consist of 2 parts: a single-dose PK part (Part I) and a continuous rucaparib treatment part (Part II).

The influence of severely diminished liver function on the metabolism, safety, and tolerability of a single oral dose of enzalutamide in a group of 8 men. The results are compared to the data gained from 8 age- and BMI-matched men with normal liver function.

This study is aimed to compare the pharmacokinetics of levonadifloxacin and its sulfate metabolite after a single dose of oral WCK 2349 1000 mg in patients with hepatic impairment and healthy volunteers.

This is a non-randomized, open-label, single-dose study to compare the PK of 21-desacetyl-DFZ and, if data permits, deflazacort in 8 subjects with moderate hepatic impairment (based on the Child Pugh classification, Grade B) to that of 8 healthy matched control subjects (age, body mass index [BMI], and gender).

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of carfilzomib, including measuring the amount of the study drug in the blood at certain times following dosing. This study is being done in people with varying degrees of liver function to see if they respond differently to the study drug.

This study will compare the pharmacokinetics of LCQ908 in subjects with varying degrees of hepatic impairment to healthy subjects.

This study will investigate the pharmacokinetics of BAF312 in patients with mild, moderate and severe hepatic impairment compared to healthy control subjects.

The goal of this pilot randomized trial is to assess the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of an advanced care planning (ACP) video decision support tool for improving patients' knowledge regarding their goals of care options and end of life (EOL) decision-making in patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD).
