This study aims to learn how adolescents and young adults who received a liver transplant as children think about their transplant and prepare to manage their healthcare as they get older. Participants will complete questionnaires and may take part in an interview about their experiences, feelings, and healthcare responsibilities. The study will explore how young people view their transplant, how it fits into their sense of self, and how these factors relate to their readiness for adult healthcare. Information from this study will help researchers better understand the needs of young liver transplant recipients and guide the development of future support programs.
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of Efimosfermin Alfa for participants with known or suspected MASH with fibrosis consistent with stage F2 or F3.
This study is investigating how efimosfermin, compared to a placebo, might improve liver fibrosis in patients with biopsy-proven stage F2- or F3 Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH), also known as "fatty liver disease".
The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of an investigational medication, Inebilizumab, in patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) who inadequately respond to at least 9 months of standard-of-care (SOC) treatment, or who are intolerant to SOC within 6 months of screening.
To evaluate if daily oral administration of elafibranor 120 mg improves the time of event free survival compared to placebo in adults with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC).
A single weight based dose of alcohol will be given to approximate an alcohol binge (aiming to achieve a blood alcohol concentration of approximately 0.08%) to investigate downstream effects on intestinal permeability and changes in hepatic steatosis. Several studies have been performed in humans under similar conditions and looking at similar things. The PI, Dr. Garth Swanson, conducted one of these studies previously. Here, participants will be given a weight-based dose (2mL vodka per kg body weight) of alcohol, with assessment of intestinal permeability via urine collection over the 24 hours directly following alcohol consumption, assessment of changes in hepatic steatosis by evaluation with fibroscan before and after alcohol consumption, and blood markers of endotoxemia and related inflammatory markers after. The weight-based dosing of alcohol was chosen to reflect previous studies looking at the effects of a single episode of alcohol binge use, with the goal of achieving a blood alcohol concentration of approximately 0.08%, the lower limit of what is needed to be considered an acute alcohol binge.
The goal of the DDRCC Biorepository is to collect human samples and health information to store for future research. Samples to be collected are blood, tissue (gastrointestinal, liver, pancreas and/or lymph nodes), stool, and cheek swabs. Participants may be eligible to enroll if scheduled for a clinical visit or surgical procedure during which these samples could be collected.
This study will enroll patients that were either diagnosed with hepatocellular cancer (HCC) in the past 6 weeks or have been diagnosed with cirrhosis but do not have HCC. Patients will have a blood sample collected to test if a new blood-based biomarker is accurate in the early detectection of HCC.
To investigate the safety, tolerability, PD, and PK of BI 3802876
when administered intravenously in single rising doses following
MABEL dose administration in adult patients with compensated
cirrhosis due to MASH.
This Phase III trial aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of survodutide (BI 456906) once weekly versus placebo on defined as resolution of steatohepatitis, reduction of liver fibrosis in liver biopsy and long-term improvement in clinical liver outcomes observed in trial participants with MASH and fibrosis stage F2-F3.
