Acute Liver Failure

In this prospective randomized controlled trial, investigator aim to evaluate the impact of early initiation of CRRT on outcomes in patients with acute liver failure with cerebral edema and hyperammonemia in improving cerebral edema and clinical outcomes. Investigator also aim to evaluate the effects of early initiation of CRRT on systemic hemodynamics (cardiac output and systemic vascular resistive index, extravascular lung water and lung permeability index), endothelial function and coagulation, microcirculation (as assessed by lactate clearance and central venous oxygen saturation), mitochondrial function. Patients with ALF who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Group 1: CRRT initiation within the first 12 hours Group 2: CRRT would be initiated i) In patients with worsening hyperammonemia despite two sessions of plasma-exchange ii) Patients meeting renal indications (hyperkalemia, volume overload, oliguria or metabolic acidosis etc)

Efficacy & Safety of ALF-5755 in Patients With Nonacetaminophen Severe Acute Hepatitis & Early Stage...

Liver FailureAcute

Acute liver failure is a rare but dramatic disease, often affecting young people, marked by the sudden loss of liver function in a person without preexisting liver disease. ALF-5755 has been shown to promote cell survival after apoptotic or oxidative stress, and liver cell regeneration in primary cultures and in vivo. ALF-5755 may become, in this dramatic disease with high unmet medical need, a future therapy for the treatment of patients suffering from severe acute hepatitis (SAH) and acute liver failure (ALF) not due to acetaminophen overdose, where liver transplantation is the sole treatment in the absence of spontaneous recovery. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of ALF-5755 versus placebo. A minimum of 60 patients will be recruited into the study in the following two treatment groups: Group A: approximately 30 patients will receive ALF-5755 Group B: approximately 30 patients will receive placebo (physiological saline solution: 0.9% NaCl) Patients will receive 10 mg (25 ml) of ALF5755 or placebo every 12 hours over 3 days in slow intravenous infusions over 10 minutes using automatic syringes.

Registry Protocol for Tracking Trial Subjects After VTI-206 Study Completion

Acute Liver Failure

VTI-207 (NCT01452295) is designed to follow subjects, both treated and control, for five years after their completion of study participation in protocol VTI-206 (NCT00973817) to gather information relating to the incidence of liver transplant, the incidence and type of cancer (if any), and survival.

Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System (MARS®) in Hypoxic Hepatitis

Hypoxic HepatitisIschemic Hepatitis3 more

Hypoxic hepatitis (HH) is reported to be the most frequent cause of elevated aminotransferase levels in hospital. Up to 10 % of critically ill patients develop HH during the course of their intensive care unit (ICU) stay. Occurrence of HH is a life threatening event and ICU-mortality is reported to be up to 60%. Early therapeutic intervention is of central prognostic importance in patients with HH to improve the hemodynamic impairment as early as possible, to reduce hyperammonemia and hepatic encephalopathy, to avoid progression of organ failure and to improve outcome. Studies reported that Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System (MARS®) therapy improved the hemodynamic situation in patients with acute and acute on chronic liver failure. The study hypothesis is that MARS® therapy in critically ill patients with severe HH improves hepatic hemodynamics and function and consecutively the course of the disease. 40 patients with suffering of severe HH with aminotransferase levels > 40 times the upper limit of normal of more than 12 hours will be randomized 1:1 to MARS® therapy (n=20) or conventional therapy (n=20). 4 MARS®-sessions will be performed on three consecutive days, each for at least 12 hours. Treatment will be continued under special circumstances. The maximum duration of the treatment phase is 7 days. The primary endpoint is the difference of the indocyanine plasma disappearance rate at day 7. The expected duration of the study is 2 years.
