Active clinical trials for "Liver Diseases"

Subcutaneous administration of AZD2693 single dose in participants with hepatic impairment

Liver transplantation is increasingly performed for older adults with multiple comorbidities. Medication adherence is key to maintaining proper function of the transplanted liver and optimize health; however, adhering to post-transplant treatment is complex. This trial will study how available technology combined with transplant center resources and caregiver support can optimize medication adherence, quality of life, and health outcomes among new liver transplant recipients at 3 centers.

The purpose of this Phase 2 trial is to validate the outcome observed in a previous trial that oral Tocotrienol (TCT) attenuates the rise in MELD score over time in patients with end stage liver disease / cirrhosis. The study is double blind and participants will be randomized to take 2 capsules of TCT (200mg) or placebo twice a day for 3 years.

The study will be assessing the impact of choline supplementation in Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease patients using ultrasonography to show change in liver echogenicity, various laboratory tests as liver function, lipid profile and glucose control tests and finally on markers of oxidative stress as Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and Leptin.

Temocillin (6-methoxy-ticarcillin) is a beta-lactam antibiotic with exceptional resistance to most beta-lactamases. In this context, it is now increasingly used as carbapenem-sparing antibiotic in patients with suspected infection by Enterobactreriaceae suspected to produce extended-spectrum beta-lactamases. Little is known about dosing and elimination of temocillin in children. While available literature of temocillin use in paediatrics refers mainly to its clinical efficacy in the treatment of urinary tract infections, the drug is also used for the treatment of suspicion of cholangitis in cirrhotic paediatric patients, and as antibiotic prophylaxis following an hepatic transplant in children (both off-label indications). There is, therefore, a pressing need to explore the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of temocillin in the paediatric population, in order to provide clear guidance on an appropriate dosing regimen. The study objectives are: (1) characterisation of the pharmacokinetics (PK) of temocillin in 3 paediatric populations, (2) proposal and development of a dosing schedule that can ensure therapeutic concentrations (40% ƒT > MIC) and optimize treatment chances of success, and (3) characterization of MICs of microbiological strains (when available) to temocillin.

This is a prospective, open-label, single-dose, phase 1 study, to assess the effect of mild and moderate hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of cenerimod (ACT-334441).

The purpose of this study is to understand how fosmanogepix is processed in people with varying degrees of liver dysfunction. This study is seeking participants who have: stable loss of liver function with mild, moderate, or advanced severity none of underlying conditions possibly affecting the study medicine being absorbed by the body liver dysfunction not due to acute worsening of liver All participants will receive 1 dose of fosmanogepix by mouth before breakfast on the first day at the study clinic. Serial blood samples will be collected to understand how fosmanogepix is changed and eliminated from the body. Participants will also receive physical examination and other tests. This will help to understand if fosmanogepix is safe. Participants will be involved in this study for 4 to 9 weeks (maximum). There will be 2 to 4 study visits at the study clinic.

In this study the investigators will quantitate hepatic mitochondrial fluxes in T2D patients with NAFL and NASH before and after 16-weeks treatment with the insulin sensitizer pioglitazone

The purpose of this study is to formally characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of TS-1 in combination with cisplatin in adult patients with advanced solid tumors who have mild, moderate or severe hepatic impairment relative to patients with normal hepatic function, as categorized by the United States National Cancer Institute organ dysfunction working group [NCI-ODWG] criteria for hepatic dysfunction.

Background: In non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), fat accumulates in the liver and can cause damage. Researchers want to learn what causes the damage NAFLD, and to see if a medication can help. Objective: To find out how the liver in people with NAFLD responds to feeding, and how this relates to their response to the drug semaglutide. Eligibility: People with NAFLD and healthy volunteers ages 18 and older Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood tests Imaging: A machine will take pictures of the participant s body. Within 2-8 weeks of enrollment, participants will stay in the clinic for several days. This includes: Blood, urine, heart, and imaging tests For NAFLD participants only: A needle-like device will remove a small biopsy of the liver and fatty tissue. Participants will be alone in a special room for 5 hours. They will breathe through a tube under the nostrils. They will have blood drawn several times. The baseline visit concludes participation for healthy volunteers but NAFLD participants will contine. About 6 weeks after discharge, participants will stay in the clinic again and repeat the tests. They will get their first semaglutide dose by injection. Participants will have visits weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 of treatment. Visits include blood tests. Participants will inject semaglutide once a week at home. At week 30, participants will stay in the clinic again and repeat the tests. Participants will have a final visit 12 weeks after stopping treatment. This includes blood and urine tests. ...
