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

NCT05007470
Background: Significant sex differences exist in regard to alcohol use disorder (AUD) and alcoholic liver disease (ALD). To date, no studies have examined the brain-gut-microbiome (BGM) axis (which is the relationship between the gut, brain, and the bacteria within the gut) and sex-differences in AUD and ALD. Aims: 1) Demonstrate baseline sex differences in the microbiome and metatranscriptome of AUD and ALD and correlate those differences to severity, 2) determine if these baseline sex differences predicts abstinence or ALD related outcomes, and 3) show how altering the microbiome can decrease the severity of AUD and ALD in a sexdependent manner. Hypothesis: Our project is aimed to explore the hypothesis that sex-related differences of the BGM axis in AUD and ALD explains the variation in patient severity and outcome by sex, and that alterations of the BGM axis can decrease the severity of AUD and ALD in a sex-dependent manner. Methods: A pilot randomized placebo (VSL#3 vs placebo) control trial will be performed in patients with AUD and ALD for 6 months. Questionnaire data, clinical labs, serum, and feces for shotgun metagenomics will be collected at baseline, 3-months, and 6-months. Anticipated Results: Patients with severe AUD/ALD will have more microbes and microbial genes associated with inflammation. These differences will predict outcomes at 6-months and that changes of this baseline microbiome with VSL#3 will lead to more positive outcomes than placebo, with men having greater benefit from VSL#3 than women. Implications and Future Studies: The discovery of the mechanisms underlying sex-related differences in AUD/ALD is needed for the development of personalized recommendations for prevention and treatment in men and women
NCT05516498
This is a two part Phase IIa/b multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group dose-ranging study to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the combination of zibotentan and dapagliflozin, and dapagliflozin monotherapy versus placebo in participants with cirrhosis with features of portal hypertension.
NCT05282121
This study is open to adults with liver cirrhosis caused by hepatitis B, hepatitis C or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). People can join this study if they have high blood pressure in the portal vein (main vessel going to the liver). The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called Avenciguat (BI 685509) taken alone or in combination with a medicine called empagliflozin helps people with this condition. Participants take Avenciguat (BI 685509) as tablets twice a day for 8 weeks. Half of the participants with NASH who also have type 2 diabetes take empagliflozin as tablets once a day in addition to Avenciguat (BI 685509). Participants are in the study for about 3 months. During this time, they visit the study site about 10 times. At 2 of the visits, the doctors check the pressure in a liver vein to see whether the treatment works. This is done with a catheter (a long thin tube) and gives information about the pressure in the portal vein. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

NCT05484206
In this study, a single dose of VIR-2218 up to 200 mg SC or VIR-3434 at 300 mg SC monotherapy or a combination of VIR-2218 and VIR-3434 will be administered to assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) exposure, safety, and tolerability of VIR-2218 and VIR-3434 in participants with cirrhosis and Hepatic Impairment, defined using the Child-Pugh-Turcotte (CPT) categorization.
NCT05857644
The purpose of this study is to learn how the study medicine (PF-07923568) is processed in participants with liver function loss compared to healthy participants. The different levels of liver function loss can be mild, moderate or severe. This study is seeking participants who: * are male or female of 18 years of age or older. * are examined to be healthy (group with no loss of liver function). * have mild, moderate, and severe liver disease (group with loss of liver function). All participants will receive a one-time dose of 4 capsules of PF-07923568 which will be taken by mouth. All participants will remain at the study clinic for 6 days for safety review and laboratory collections. This is to see how the study medicine is being broken down by the liver over time. All participants selected in the study will be required to go through a screening period up to 28 days. A screening period is the time during which a few participants are examined to see whether they are fit for the study. During this period, the participant's medical history and past and current medications will be reviewed. A series of tests will also be performed to see if they are good to be selected for the study. If the participant meets all required criteria and are interested in continuing, the participant will be brought into the study clinic to stay overnight for 6 days. On day 6, the participant will be discharged. About 28 to 35 days after discharge, the participant will be contacted for a follow up visit either in person or by telephone. This is to check up on how the participant is doing and to conclude the study.

NCT05919680
This is a phase 2a, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of NST-6179 in subjects with intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD) receiving parenteral nutrition (PN). The study will be conducted in 2 sequential parts. Up to 36 subjects diagnosed with IFALD will be enrolled in the study, of which up to 18 subjects will be enrolled in each of the 2 parts and randomized (2:1) to receive NST-6179 (N=12/part) or matched placebo (N=6/part). Subjects in Part A will receive once daily (QD) oral administration of 800 mg (32 mL solution) NST-6179 or placebo for 4 weeks. The NST-6179 dose for Part B is planned to be 1200 mg QD for 12 weeks. Actual dose, however, will be determined during the safety review meeting.

NCT02979340
Specific Aim 1. Determine if valid results of non-sedated MRI based assessments of liver stiffness and lipid content can be obtained in more than 90% of children and young adults with cystic fibrosis. Specific Aim 2. Determine hepatic lipid content using the HepaFat sequence and liver stiffness using MRE. Investigators will compare the results obtained by MRI with PUSH study grayscale ultrasounds in CF patients with normal, heterogeneous, homogeneous or nodular (cirrhotic) pattern on ultrasound. Specific Aim 3. Creation of an imaging core lab to centralize evaluation of MR imaging data, allow for remote image upload, electronic data storage, and remote image viewing/interpretation. This infrastructure will be utilized to standardize image post processing. Specific Aim 4. Using the longitudinal PUSH study, determine if MRI based imaging improves discrimination of subjects at risk for progression to advanced CF liver disease (development of cirrhosis) compared to using US imaging alone
