Active clinical trials for "Liver Diseases"

This is a Phase 1, multicenter, nonrandomized, open-label, parallel-group study in participants with mild or moderate hepatic impairment, and in participants with normal hepatic function. Degrees of hepatic impairment will be determined during screening by the participant's score according to Pugh's Modification of Child's Classification of Severity of Liver Disease. Participants will be enrolled in Groups 1 through 3 as follows: Group 1 (mild hepatic impairment): A total of approximately 8 participants with a Child-Pugh score of 5 to 6. Group 2 (moderate hepatic impairment): A total of approximately 8 participants with a Child-Pugh score of 7 to 9. Group 3 (normal hepatic function): Approximately 8 to 16 participants will be matched to Participants in Groups 1 and 2. Normal hepatic function participants are allowed to match multiple hepatic impairment participants. Participants will be matched by sex, age (± 10 years), weight (± 20%), and smoking status.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of ASP0367 in participants with mild and moderate hepatic impairment compared to healthy participants with normal hepatic function. The study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of ASP0367 in participants with mild and moderate hepatic impairment compared to healthy participants with normal hepatic function.

Music intervention is a non-pharmacological and effective intervention that can alleviate anxiety and agitation in patients undergoing weaning. The effectiveness of music intervention in reducing anxiety of patients in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is still unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of music intervention on anxiety, agitation, sleep quality and physiological parameters on patients in ICU. This study was conducted from January to June 2019. A total of 196 hospitalized ICU patients were divided into two groups. Subjects in experimental group received 30 minutes music intervention for 3 days on bedside whereas subjects in control group received routine care only. The primary outcome was anxiety. Agitation Sedation Scale, sleep quality and physical parameters were selected to collect as secondary outcomes.There was no significant difference between the groups at baseline. The results of this study support that music can reduce anxiety and agitation levels in ICU's patient. Nurses can incorporate this intervention into the daily care in order to reduce the discomfort of patients.

The study will evaluate the effect of coadministration of a range of doses of DGAT2i with 1 dose of ACCi, on hepatic steatosis and the ability of DGAT2i to mitigate ACCi-induced elevations in serum triglycerides. The study has a 2-part design with sequential conduct of Part 1 and Part 2 with each part conducted in distinct/separate cohorts of participants. The overall study design, objectives/endpoints, eligibility criteria for both parts is envisioned to be identical, however, data from Part 1 will be used to determine whether to conduct Part 2.

Glucagon is secreted from pancreatic alpha-cells in response to protein-rich meals and during hypoglycemia. A physiological feedback system exists between the liver and the pancreatic alpha cells termed the liver-alpha cell axis and signifies the role between amino acid-stimulated glucagon secretion and glucagon-stimulated amino acid metabolism. Individuals with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease have increased levels of glucagon (hyperglucagonemia) and amino acids (hyperaminoacidemia), which suggests that hepatic steatosis may uncouple glucagon's effect on amino acid metabolism (i.e. reduced glucagon sensitivity). Since hyperglucagonemia contributes to diabetes progression - due to its potentiating effects on hepatic glucose production - hepatic steatosis may create a diabetogenic circle. This study aims to develop and evaluate a test for measuring glucagon sensitivity in humans. The investigators (Associate Prof. Nicolai J Wewer Albrechtsen and Prof. Jørgen Rungby) will investigate whether amino acid metabolism is attenuated in individuals with hepatic steatosis (assessed by magnetic resonance imaging) due to impaired hepatic glucagon sensitivity and if glucagon's effect on hepatic glucose production is intact compared to individuals without hepatic steatosis suggestive of biased signaling.

Evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of Hydronidone capsule in target patients (patients with chronic viral hepatitis b with liver fibrosis) and special population (patients with mild liver dysfunction). To evaluate the effect of oral Hydronidone capsule on QT/QTc in patients with chronic viral hepatitis b accompanied by hepatic fibrosis and mild hepatic dysfunction.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the single-dose plasma PK of mobocertinib and its active metabolites (AP32960 and AP32914) in participants with moderate and/or severe HI compared to matched-healthy participants with normal hepatic function.

The current study is proposed to evaluate whether there is any clinically meaningful effect of hepatic impairment on the plasma PK of PF-06865571.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the effect of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetic(s) (PK) of PF-06651600 following administration of multiple once daily doses of PF-06651600. The safety and tolerability of PF-06651600 will also be evaluated in this study.

In order to prevent excessive blood loss during liver surgery, an intermittent Pringle manoeuvre (IPM) can be applied. This implies a temporary clamping of the portal vein and hepatic artery in the hepatoduodenal ligament in order to occlude hepatic inflow. The optimal duration of the IPM is unknown. This randomized controlled trial aimed to analyse differences in hepatocellular damage after 15 minutes or 30 minutes IPM during liver surgery for primary or secondary liver tumours.
