Active clinical trials for "Hepatic Insufficiency"

The study will assess the safety of different dose regimens of HepaStem in cirrhotic Patients with ACLF or with acute decompensation at risk of developing ACLF up to Day 28 of the active study period.

Continous infusion of nor adrenaline + albumin Continous infusion of terlipressin + albumin Response will assessed at every 48 hour (i) Complete response: Regression of acute kidney injury stage with reduction of S. Cr within 0.3 mg/dl of baseline (ii) Partial response: Regression of acute kidney injury stage with reduction of S. Cr to ≥0.3 mg/dl above baseline (iii) No response: No regression of acute kidney injury Treatment will be extended until reversal of HRS (decrease in creatinine below 1.5 mg/dL) or for a maximum of 7 days after rescue treatment will be followed. If intolerant to terlipressin, excluded from study and rescue treatment will be given in form of noradrenaline or octreotide and midodrine.

Acute on chronic liver failure patients with HVPG (Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient) ≥ 12 mmHg + No/small esophageal varices who present to the Department of Hepatology at Institute of Liver and Billiary Sciences, who meet the inclusion criteria and who provide informed consent.

A critical issue of the clinical syndrome in liver failure is the accumulation of toxins not cleared by the failing liver. Based on this hypothesis, albumin dialysis is used to remove those substances. Albumin dialysis with recirculation (MARS) is the most used system but required specific system and expert environment. Alternative system without recirculation (SPAD) is less expensive and can be realised in critical care services trained to extrarenal epuration. The primary objective of this study is to compare biological and clinical efficacy, pulsatility index of middle cerebral artery modification and tolerance of both systems. This is a prospective, open, cross-over comparative study of two albumin dialysis system. Each patient will receive the two systems in an randomly assessed order. Patients are divided up according to bilirubin plasmatic level. (250µmol/L to 400 µmol/L and >400µmol/L).

Fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) in children is a potentially devastating disease. The mortality rate may reach 80-90% in the absence of liver transplantation. Liver injury is considered to be mainly immune mediated with augmentation of cytolytic pathways of infected hepatocytes. For that, it is suggested that corticosteroids modulate the activity of the disease by suppressing the immune system.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of photopheresis for prophylaxis of allograft rejection in patients who are being withdrawal immunosuppression after liver transplantation.

The study will be conducted on patients admitted to Department of Hepatology from Jan 2016 to Jan 2018 at Institute of Liver & Biliary Sciences, New Delhi. Study group will comprise of patients with acute liver failure (ALF) who have no option for liver transplant (due to any reason) or have contraindications for liver transplant or have no prospective living donor and will be assessed for enrollment in the trial.

Assessment of the effect of moderate liver impairment (Child-Pugh classification B) on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of dabigatran after oral administration of dabigatran etexilate. Determination of safety and tolerability of dabigatran upon administration to hepatically impaired patients and healthy subjects (matched pairs)

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effect of mild (Child-Pugh A, score 5-6) and moderate (Child-Pugh B, score 7-9) hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of nintedanib, in comparison with a control group with normal hepatic function following oral administration of nintedanib as single dose.

The primary objectives were: To determine the effects of steady state TPV co-administered with low dose RTV on steady state PegIFN and RBV in HIV negative subjects with mild hepatic impairment (scheme A) To determine the effects of steady state of pegylated interferon (PegIFN) and RBV on steady state pharmacokinetics of TPV co-administered with low dose RTV in HIV negative subjects with mild hepatic impairment (scheme A) To determine the pharmacokinetics of single dose and steady state TPV/r 500/200 mg in subjects with moderate hepatic insufficiency (scheme B)
