Active clinical trials for "Liver Diseases"

Subcutaneous administration of AZD2693 single dose in participants with hepatic impairment

Many studies suggest that Porphyromonas gingivalis, a virulent periodontopathogenic bacterium, is associated with many systemic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases. In addition, a recent study showed the impact of Porphyromonas gingivalis on Non-Alcoholic Steatosis Liver Disease (NASH). It would be responsible for aggravation of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by stimulating inflammation in the damaged liver tissue.

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.

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

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 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.

Rural patients with life-limiting illness are at very high risk of not receiving appropriate care due to a lack of health professionals, long distances to treatment centers, and limited palliative care (PC) clinical expertise. Secondly, although culture strongly influences people's response to diagnosis, illness and treatment preferences, culturally-based care models are not currently available for most seriously-ill rural patients and their family caregivers. Lack of sensitivity to cultural differences may compromise PC for minority patients. The purpose of this study is to compare a culturally-based Tele-consult program to usual hospital care to determine whether a culturally-based PC Tele-consult program leads to lower symptom burden in hospitalized African American and White older adults with a life-limiting illness.
