Summary

The primary purpose of this registry is to evaluate the feasibility and clinical validation of LiverCare in liver transplant recipients, as part of post-transplant surveillance. LiverCare is an investigational panel test that includes 6 components: 1. AlloSure Liver 2. AlloMap Liver 3. AlloHeme Liver 4. iBox Liver 5. HistoMap Liver 6. AlloID. AlloSure Liver is a research test used to measure donor-derived cell free DNA in Liver transplant recipients. AlloMap Liver is a research gene expression profile test using peripheral blood to establish immune activity and is currently undergoing clinical evaluation and development. iBox Liver is an analytic platform that predicts organ outcomes after transplant using a software algorithm based on information from your medical records and is currently undergoing clinical evaluation and development. AlloHeme Liver is a diagnostic test to measure donor and recipient DNA in the blood. HistoMap Liver is a tissue-based gene expression test using tissue collected from standard of care biopsies to establish immune profiles within the organ and is currently undergoing clinical evaluation and development. AlloID is a blood test that will quantify the presence of more than 100 pathogens including standard post-transplant infectious disease screening such as Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), adenovirus, Human Herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and viral hepatitis.

The effect of semaglutide in subjects with non-cirrhotic non-alcoholic steatohepatitis

Date Added

PRO Number
Pro00108809
Researcher
Don Rockey

Keywords
Liver
Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out about the safety and effectiveness of an investigation drug called Semaglutide for the treatment of NASH. (Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis). NASH occurs when the fat buildup in the liver leads to inflammation (hepatitis) and scarring. NASH is associated with increased risk of morbidity (medical problem or complication) and mortality (death). Currently, treatment options are few and insufficient. There is therefore an unmet medical need for effective and safe pharmacological treatment options. The study is designed to last 257 weeks (approximately 4 years and 11 months), with study visits occurring approximately every 4 weeks. Most visits will include blood work and some will include assessments such as body weight and vital signs. Most visits will include reviewing of diary entries during the course of the study. This study also includes weekly injections of semaglutide (or placebo). Semaglutide is a self-administered injection that is given under the skin. Semaglutide has built an extensive amount of data with other trials that have focused on weight management and Type 2 diabetes. Semaglutide is FDA-approved for diabetes treatment, but is investigational for this study. In these previous trials, semaglutide was found to be safe and well-tolerated. This study is randomized, double-blinded, and placebo-controlled. This means that you may receive the study drug or a placebo. Neither the study subject or the study team members will know which each subject will be receiving. Study subjects will be randomized 2:1. This means that subjects will have a greater chance (66%) of receiving the drug versus the placebo.

Summary

This is a prospective cohort study of subjects with portal hypertension to examine whether increased sphingosine 1 phosphate : ceramide ratio and circulating bile acids are associated with HPS in patients with advanced liver disease. The study will consist of 400 individuals who are evaluated for liver transplantation at the Field Centers. This population has advanced liver disease and will represent the population with cirrhosis at the Centers. As is considered standard of clinical care for these patients and required for liver transplant evaluation, patients will undergo phlebotomy, interviews, pulmonary function testing, echocardiography, and arterial blood gas sampling at their initial evaluation. During the clinical phlebotomy, additional samples will be drawn for research purposes. If any of these procedures does not occur during the clinical visit, it may be conducted for research purposes. Six minute walk testing, frailty scales, SF36, and optional actigraphy, all of which are research-only assessments, will be performed at baseline. Subjects will then be followed via phone for the duration of the study period.
