NCT06749340
Reasons such as sleep disorders, depression, decreased independence in daily living activities and decreased quality of life, which are seen in the majority of liver cirrhosis patients, can cause cognitive dysfunction, especially attention. It is known that physical dysfunctions are observed in patients with liver cirrhosis along with cognitive dysfunction. Sarcopenia is the most important of these dysfunctions. Sarcopenia is the progressive, widespread loss of muscle mass, function and strength. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of face-to-face and home-based progressive strengthening exercise program performed 3 times a week for 12 weeks on muscle strength, muscle mass, functionality and cognitive functions in individuals with liver cirrhosis. It is also aimed to test the feasibility and effectiveness of the home-based exercise method in individuals with liver cirrhosis. Another aim of our study is to determine the exercise dose required to improve muscle strength, muscle mass, functionality and cognitive functions in individuals with liver cirrhosis and the duration of treatment effectiveness through follow-up.
NCT02932449
This is a 5-year, longitudinal, observational study of patients with PBC designed to specifically address important clinical questions that remain incompletely answered from registration trials. In addition to the study database, a bio specimen repository will also be included so that translational studies of genomics and biomarkers of response may be performed.
NCT01820819
The purpose of this study is to determine whether there are reasons other than medical reasons that could limit access to liver transplantation in alcoholic patients.
NCT07250919
This observational study aims to investigate the impact of gender disparity between donors and recipients on long-term outcomes after liver transplantation (LT). The study aims to answer the following question: Does gender mismatch lower the possibility of survival after liver transplantation? Participants demonstrate gender dicrepancies between donors and recipients as regular concept in LT. The retrospective cohort study investigates the impact over a long-term follow up of 10 years.
NCT07407634
Aimed at evaluating the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic characteristics of single and multiple doses of XTYW007 in healthy subjects and healthy subjects with elevated LDL-C, as well as studying the effects of food on the pharmacokinetics and metabolic transformation of XTYW007, and preliminarily assessing the pharmacodynamics of XTYW007.
NCT07366463
Metabolic dysfunction associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) is frequently complicated by cardiometabolic (CMR) comorbidities, and prognosis is substantially influenced by acute cardiovascular events (ACE). Although several pharmacological approaches target CMR risk factors, lifestyle modification remains the cornerstone of management. However, adherence to dietary behavioral prescriptions is often poor, and the influence of sociodemographic determinants on compliance remains unclear. Moreover, the long-term real-life impact of behavioral and motivational support in MASLD is insufficiently characterized. This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary management (including Hepatological counseling, Nutrition intervention, and Psychological support) in improving clinical MASLD outcomes, by increasing adherence to specialist-tailored recommendations.
NCT05900037
This is a pre-market, prospective, randomized (1:1), multicenter, pivotal clinical investigation. The purpose of this investigation is to determine the clinical performance of GATT-Patch as compared with SURGICEL® Original for the management of minimal, mild, or moderate bleeding during minimally invasive liver and gallbladder surgery.
NCT07405749
Alterations in conventional coagulation tests in patients with cirrhosis and/or portal hypertension do not reliably predict bleeding risk, as hemostatic balance is complex and often compensated. Many procedure-related bleeding events are driven by non-coagulatory factors, such as portal hypertension or technical aspects of the procedure. Most commonly performed procedures carry a low risk of bleeding even in the presence of elevated INR or thrombocytopenia, and no validated laboratory thresholds support prophylactic correction. Risk assessment should therefore be based on procedural factors, severity of liver disease, and systemic patient conditions, with correction of modifiable risk factors particularly before high-risk elective procedures.
NCT07214870
The purpose of this clinical study is to find out if NNC4005-0001 is well-tolerated and safe for people who have increased body weight and increased liver fat. Participants will receive either NNC4005-0001, which is the treatment being tested, or a placebo, which is a treatment that contains no active medicine. The study will last for about for about 7 to 8 months.
NCT06318169
The study will assess the efficacy and safety of 2 dose regimens of pegozafermin compared to placebo for the treatment of liver fibrosis stage F2 or F3 in adult participants with MASH.
NCT06794853
Sarcopenia is particularly common in patients with chronic liver disease, especially in patients with decompensated cirrhosis, where the prevalence can be more than 50%. Sarcopenia is an important risk factor for a significant increase in mortality in cirrhotic patients, and is closely associated with a high incidence of complications such as hepatic encephalopathy, ascites, and infections . Recent studies have found that TIPS not only significantly improves clinical symptoms caused by portal hypertension, but may also have a positive effect on skeletal muscle mass and function in patients. Although the effect of TIPS in improving sarcopenia has been preliminarily confirmed, its mechanism is not yet fully understood. Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore the mechanism of action of TIPS to improve sarcopenia and provide guidance for clinical treatment options.
NCT06843148
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) (aka non-alcoholic fatty liver disease), commonly occurring in individuals with obesity and type 2 diabetes can lead to liver inflammation/ fibrosis. MASLD results from fat being disproportionately deposited in the liver. The goal of this mechanistic study is to investigate metabolic response in patients aged 50 to 80 years with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, after niacin (vitamin B3) treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does Niacin lower the fat deposition in the liver? * Does Niacin raise White Adipose Tissue storage of dietary fatty acids? Researchers will compare Niacin to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to compare the metabolic response. Duration of study per participant: Up to 28 weeks
NCT07390344
This Registry will look at patients being treated with a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) procedure for portal hypertension. The purpose of this Registry is to collect data on the safety and performance of the GORE® VIATORR® TIPS Endoprosthesis with Controlled Expansion (6-10mm) for 2 years in real world setting. Additionally, data will be collected on the safety and performance of the GORE TIPS Set when utilized.
NCT07400289
This is an exploratory, international, prospective, interventional, multicenter clinical investigation that will take place in 1 Hong Kong site and 3 French sites and 309 adults patients will be included. The study objective is to assess the LSM reproducibility between the FibroScan examination performed with the Single Probe (SP) and the FibroScan examination performed with the reference probes (M and XL).
NCT02581085
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.
NCT02028949
Unresectable, non-metastatic cirrhosis-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a poor prognosis as there are no recommended curative treatments. Chemoembolisation is the most widely used treatment in these patients, but this technique can prove to be toxic. intrahepatic arterial chemotherapy with lipiodol and idarubicin could be an effective therapeutic approach, without deteriorating liver function. The rationale for this treatment can be resumed as follows: * HCC are vascularised via the hepatic artery system * The IHA perfusion of anthracyclines leads to high elimination via the liver with low systemic concentrations * The absence of embolisation reduces toxicity * the toxiciity profile of idarubicin is well known and the drug is widely used for the IV treatment of leukemia * idarubicin is the most cytotoxic drug for tumor cell lines. * The in vitro cytotoxicity of idarubicin is 100% at low concentrations * Lipiodol can stay in contact with tumor tissue for several weeks after injection and act as a vector for the drug * The idarubicin-lipiodol is more stable than lipidol emulsions usually given by intraarterial injection * The emulsion is more stable with idarubicin than with other anticancer molecules * Sequential inclusion in accordance with the "continual reassessment method" makes it possible to increase inclusions at a target toxicity level while reducing inclusions at doses that are too low or too toxic The aim of the treatment is to improve survival.
NCT06205992
How to construct a novel, non-invasive, accurate, and convenient method to achieve prediction of hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is an important general problem in the management of portal hypertension in cirrhosis. We plan to compare the ability of three demensional-magnetic resonance elastography (3D-MRE) to two demensional-magnetic resonance elastography (2D-MRE) to establish a risk stratification system and perform tailored management for portal hypertension in cirrhosis.
NCT07386665
Type of Study: Clinical Trial Goal: The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate how performing exercise at different times of day (morning vs. evening) affects liver fat, cardiometabolic health, and gut microbiota in postmenopausal women. Participant Population/Health Conditions: The study will involve 63 sedentary postmenopausal women (aged 45-75) diagnosed with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. Main Questions: The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Does morning exercise reduce hepatic fat more effectively than evening exercise? * How does time-of-day-specific exercise influence cardiometabolic markers? * Do changes in gut microbiota contribute to the metabolic effects of exercise timing? Participants Will: Be randomized into one of three groups: morning exercise, evening exercise, or a usual-care control group. Follow the assigned regimen for 12 weeks. The exercise groups will perform supervised aerobic and resistance training three times per week. Provide blood, stool, and imaging data before and after the intervention to determine the effects of the intervention. Comparison Group: Researchers will compare the effects of morning vs. evening exercise (and usual care) on hepatic fat reduction and cardiometabolic improvement, as well as changes in gut microbiota.
NCT06558422
This is a single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled (crossover) clinical study designed to investigate the impact of lowering insulin levels on hepatic glucose production (HGP) vs de novo lipogenesis (DNL) in people with insulin resistance. The investigators will recruit participants with a history of overweight/obesity and evidence of insulin resistance (i.e., fasting hyperinsulinemia plus prediabetes and/or impaired fasting glucose and/or Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance \[HOMA-IR\] score \>=2.73), and with evidence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Participants will undergo two pancreatic clamp procedures -- one in which serum insulin levels are maintained near hyperinsulinemic baseline (Maintenance Hyperinsulinemia or "MH" Protocol) and the other in which serum insulin levels are lowered by 50% (Reduction toward Euinsulinemia or "RE" Protocol). In both clamps the investigators will use stable-isotope tracers to monitor hepatic glucose and triglyceride metabolism. The primary outcome will be the impact of steady-state clamp insulinemia on HGP vs DNL.
NCT06924281
Liver damage from alcohol intake and weight-related behaviors is preventable and treatable only through lifestyle changes. This mixed-methods randomized controlled trial compares standard and enhanced approaches to screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment/prevention (SBIRT/P) to identify and intervene for metabolism- and alcohol-associated liver disease (MetALD). Our multidisciplinary team aims to show that integrating results of noninvasive liver screening with Fibroscan®, a painless ultrasound that measures stiffness and fat in the liver, can optimize our brief intervention. The study population is adults age 21+ who speak Spanish or English from underresourced communities with alcohol- and weight-related risks for MetALD.
