Active clinical trials for "Liver Diseases"

Development of preclinical translational models for chronic liver tumors and diseases study, such as spheroids cultured in autologous medium and murine xenograft models to test the efficacy of new therapeutic strategies.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of semaglutide on intra-hepatic triglyceride (IHTG) content in people living with HIV (PLWH), central adiposity, insulin resistance or pre-diabetes, and hepatic steatosis.

The aim of this study is to assess the therapeutic efficacy of secukinumab on the psoriatic skin and to explore the anti-inflammatory (reduction of hepatic inflammation and cell damage), anti-steatotic (reduction of hepatic triglyceride content) and anti-fibrotic (reduction of hepatic fibrosis) effects of secukinumab in patients with psoriasis and coexisting non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

The objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of once-daily oral doses of 10 mg elobixibat in combination with 9g cholestyramine powder (cholestyramine 4g) in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

Multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial is focused on novel treatments for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the most common cause of chronic liver disease. The primary objective of the study is to determine the clinical efficacy and safety of Vitamin E [(all-rac)-α-tocopheryl acetate] and Omega-3 fatty acid (DHA EE) compared to placebo on reducing liver fat content in participants with NAFLD. There is currently no approved drug treatment for NAFLD or NASH. While several new targets are being evaluated, they are not sufficiently powered to provide definitive data. There is, therefore, a need for well-designed, appropriately powered efficacy (phase 2) trials to define the utility of newer therapies for NAFLD. The combination of Vitamin E and DHA may provide optimal benefit for patients with NAFLD due to their associated mechanisms of action, namely Vitamin E's antioxidant action, preventing lipid oxidation of long-chain fatty acids such as DHA and thus preventing the propagation of free radicals and ROS.

This is a Phase 1, open-label, parallel design, single-dose pharmacokinetic (PK) study to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK of a single dose of 50 mg of DS-3201b in participants with normal and impaired hepatic function.

This is an open-label, single-dose study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of DBPR108 in subjects with mild or moderate hepatic impairment (HI) compared to the matched control subjects with normal hepatic function.

Of patients admitted to an internal medicine ward with internistic diagnosis/es together with COVID-19, substantial proportion has elevated liver enzymes. silymarin / silibinin (milk thistle extract) has been approved as an add-on therapy in various acute and chronic liver diseases; moreover, there is evidence to suggest that it's dual effect (anti-viral and immune-modulatory) might be of benefit in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. As there is no effective/approved pharmacotherapy for COVID-19, a pilot study with Silymarine in hospitalised patients has been undertaken

The purpose of this study is to investigate BMS-986165 in participants with different levels of liver function.

Background: Infection with hepatitis D virus leads to a chronic liver disease with no effective treatment. Lonafarnib has improved hepatitis D virus levels in blood, but the medication still needs more research. Ritonavir makes other drugs more effective and is used with lonafarnib to make it more effective. Lambda interferon stimulates the body s response to viruses. Researchers want to see if combining these drugs fights hepatitis D and helps the liver. Objectives: To see if combining lonafarnib, ritonavir, and lambda interferon is safe and effective to treat chronic hepatitis D infection. Eligibility: Adults at least 18 years old with chronic hepatitis D infection Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam, medical history, and blood and urine tests. Throughout the study, all participants will: Follow rules for medicine, food, and contraception Take hepatitis B medicine Have weight checked Have routine blood and urine tests Give stool samples Female participants will have pregnancy tests. Participants will have 3 visits before treatment. They will repeat screening tests and have a heart test and liver scan. Participants will have a 5-day inpatient stay. They will: Baseline blood and urine tests Have eye tests Answer health questions Have a liver sample taken and liver blood pressure measured. Participants will be sedated. Have reproductive tests Start the study drugs and have blood draws Over 24 weeks of treatment, participants will: -Take 2 study drugs by mouth every day and 1 as a weekly injection
