NCT06161571
The aim of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of EFX compared to placebo in subjects with non-invasively diagnosed NASH/MASH and NAFLD/MASLD.
NCT02626312
This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of radiation therapy in treating patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, or cancer that has spread from the original (primary) tumor to the liver who also have impaired liver function (liver damage caused by cirrhosis, chemotherapy, or surgery). Radiation therapy (RT) uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. New methods of giving RT to the liver may help control cancer.
NCT04526665
The participants of this study will have confirmed Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) with inadequate response or intolerance to ursodeoxycholic acid (which is a medication used in the management and treatment of cholestatic liver disease). PBC is a slowly progressive disease characterized by damage of the bile ducts in the liver, leading to a buildup of bile acids which causes further damage. The liver damage in PBC may lead to scarring (cirrhosis). PBC may also be associated with multiple symptoms. Many patients with PBC may require liver transplant or may die if the disease progresses and a liver transplant is not done. The main aim of this study is to determine if elafibranor (the study drug) is better than placebo (a dummy treatment) at decreasing the levels of a specific blood test (alkaline phosphatase) that provides information about participant's disease. This study will also evaluate the safety of long-term treatment with elafibranor, as well as the impact on symptoms such as itchy skin (pruritus) and tiredness (fatigue). This study has two main parts: Part 1 will compare a daily dose of elafibranor to a daily dose of placebo and will last between a minimum of one year and a maximum of two years. Part 2, all participants will receive elafibranor for a period of up to 5 years or until the total treatment duration (part 1 and part 2) reaches 6 years, whichever occurs first.
NCT05744713
TARGET-Liver Disease (TARGET-LD) is an observational research study to conduct a comprehensive review of outcomes for patients with chronic liver disease (CLD).
NCT05196867
To determine the effectiveness of a behaviorally-based tailored disease management intervention in patients with fibrosis or steatosis and risk factors for cirrhosis.
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.
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.
NCT05395481
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the study drug LY3849891 in participants with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) who have the patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3 (PNPLA3) I148M genotype. Blood tests and magnetic resonance imaging of the liver will be performed to determine the effects of LY3849891 on MASLD and assessment of resolution of liver fibroinflammation. Blood tests will also determine how long it takes the body to eliminate LY3849891. This is a 2-part study and may last up to 32 weeks for each participant and may include 12 visits in parts A and B.
NCT05877547
The purpose of this study is to learn how well efinopegdutide works compared to placebo in people who have non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Researchers will also learn about the safety and benefit of efinopegdutide and how well people tolerate the medicine. The main goal of the study is to compare how many people taking efinopegdutide or placebo stop showing evidence of NASH without liver scarring getting worse.
NCT03301506
An Open Label Long-Term Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Seladelpar in Subjects with Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC)
NCT05583344
The purpose of this study is to measure improvements in liver fibrosis and inflammation with GSK4532990 compared with placebo in participants with NASH and advanced fibrosis on biopsy (F3 or F4). The study duration will be up to 76 weeks including the screening period. The treatment duration will be up to 52 weeks.
NCT05064553
The primary objective is to assess overall sensitivity and specificity of Oncoguard™ Liver for hepatocellular cancer (HCC) detection in a surveillance population.
NCT01148550
The specific aims of this study are (1) to determine the clinical phenotypes and natural history of hepatic RC and FAO disorders, (2) to determine the correlation between genotype and phenotype, (3) to determine if circulating biomarkers reflect diagnosis and predict liver disease progression and survival with the native liver, (4) to determine the clinical outcome of these disorders following liver transplantation, and (5) to develop a repository of serum, plasma, urine, tissue and DNA specimens that will be used in ancillary studies. To accomplish these aims, the ChiLDReN investigators at clinical sites (currently 9 sites) will prospectively collect defined data and specimens in a uniform fashion at fixed intervals in a relatively large number of subjects. Clinical information collected from subjects and their parents will enhance the potential for meaningful research in these disorders. A biobank of previously collected subject specimens and DNA samples will be established for use in ancillary studies to be performed in addition to this study.
NCT05272319
This study involves the one-time collection of whole blood or saliva samples for the extraction and storage of DNA for use in ongoing and future ChiLDReN studies.
NCT06613698
The goal of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of GSK4532990 in participants with alcohol-related liver disease.
NCT06269484
This is a Phase IIb multicentre, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety of zibotentan/dapagliflozin in combination as compared to zibotentan monotherapy as well as zibotentan/dapagliflozin and zibotentan monotherapy as compared to placebo in patients with cirrhosis.
NCT05970640
This study is open to adults with overweight or obesity who also have fatty liver disease. The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of BI 3006337 that people with overweight or obesity and with fatty liver disease can tolerate. Participants are divided into 4 groups of equal size randomly, which means by chance. Different doses of BI 3006337 are given to participants in each group. Participants in each group receive an injection of either BI 3006337 or placebo once a week. Placebo injections look like BI 3006337 injections but do not contain any medicine. Participants are in the study for about 4 months. During this time, they visit the study site 18 times. Three of the visits include overnight stays at the study site. The doctors check the health of the participants and note any health problems that could have been caused by BI 3006337.
NCT06336018
The study investigates an investigational drug called etavopivat in participants with hepatic impairments and participants with normal hepatic function (matched controls). During the study, all participants will be given a single oral dose of etavopivat. All participants will take the etavopivat orally together with water. After dosing, the study will last for 7 to 9 days.
NCT02968810
This phase II trial studies how well simvastatin works in preventing liver cancer in patients with liver cirrhosis. Simvastatin may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
NCT05740358
Liver Cirrhosis Network (LCN) Cohort Study is an observational study designed to identify risk factors and develop prediction models for risk of decompensation in adults with liver cirrhosis. LCN Cohort Study involves multiple institutions and an anticipated 1200 participants. Enrolled participants will have study visits every 6 months (180 days), with opportunities to complete specific visit components via telehealth or remotely. Visits will include collection of questionnaire data and the in-person visits will include questionnaires, physical exams, imaging, and sample collection.
