Conversion Surgery Vs. Palliative Care in Pancreatic Cancer Oligometastatic to the Liver
This study investigates the impact of surgical resection compared to palliative care in patients with oligometastatic pancreatic cancer limited to the liver. Specifically, it examines whether surgery after stable disease or response to chemotherapy can improve survival and quality of life. The international, multicenter randomized trial will recruit 56 patients, …
Fecal Microbiota Transplantation for the Prevention of Infectious Complications After Liver Transplantation
The increasing emergence and spread of MDRB represents a major public health problem, with higher mortality in patients experiencing infections. Cirrhotic patients listed for OLT and after OLT are at high risk of MDRB colonization or infection due to the large use of broad-spectrum antibiotics in the post-transplant setting. Therefore, …
J-Tip Use for Paracentesis in Adults With Liver Cirrhosis and Ascites
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the level of comfort adult patients with cirrhosis of the liver and ascites presenting to Northwestern Memorial Hospital experience during a bedside abdominal paracentesis by numbing the skin with a needle-less device (the J-Tip), instead of using a needle to numb …
Safety and Efficacy of Transarterial ICG Fluorescence-Guided Laparoscopic Anatomical Liver Resection
This multicenter, ambispective cohort study evaluates the safety and efficacy of trans-arterial Indocyanine Green (ICG) fluorescence-guided laparoscopic liver watershed resection for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). The study aims to compare the outcomes of the trans-arterial ICG staining approach versus the conventional trans-portal (portal vein) ICG staining approach.
Standard Volume vs. High Volume Plasma Exchange in Pediatric Acute Liver Failure
Acute liver failure is a multisystem disorder characterized by a syndrome of jaundice, coagulopathy, and encephalopathy with high mortality in the absence of liver transplantation. The pathogenesis of multiorgan failure (MOF) in ALF has been attributed to the release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) from injured hepatic cells and microbial …
HepatoPredict Prognostic Tool for the Decision of Liver Transplant in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Liver transplant is the most effective treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in cirrhosis. Due to organs shortage, the proper selection of patients is imperative. Prevailing clinical morphological models used in most centres (Milan Criteria), can exclude potential candidates and include patients with aggressive biological behaviour. To more accurately select candidates …
A Prospective Study of Memantine in Patients With Cirrhosis and Liver Cancer
This is a single-site prospective study to describe efficacy endpoints of single agent memantine in patients with unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic HCC otherwise not deemed candidates for intensive systemic therapy. In addition to the primary endpoint and multiple secondary efficacy endpoints, we will describe changes in quality of life …
Safety and Effectiveness of Sulfasalazine in the Treatment of Liver Fibrosis/cirrhosis.
This is a controlled, observational clinical study initiated by investigators to investigate the efficacy and safety of sulfasalazine in the treatment of cirrhosis in patients with cirrhosis. Four cohorts were planned: primary biliary cirrhosis, hepatitis B and C cirrhosis, and alcoholic cirrhosis. The four groups were divided into experimental group …
Cryoablation Combined with Sintilimab Plus Regorafenib in Previously Treated Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastasis
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cryoablation combined with Sintilimab plus regorafenib for patients with colorectal cancer liver metastasis in the third-line setting.
Downstaging Protocol Containing Immunotherapy for HCC Beyond the Milan Criteria Before Liver Transplantation
Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is the most common liver malignancy and the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Due to the shortage of donor organs and the risk of tumor recurrence after transplantation, the restrictive Milan criteria is the standard guideline for liver transplantation (LT) in patients with HCC and …
