Hepatic Encephalopathy Prevention With Polydextrose After TIPS: Pilot Study (POEME)
TIPS is a standard for the treatment of portal hypertension related complications. However, it remains at risk of HE after TIPS (around 40% the first year). Dysbiosis plays a key role in pathophysiology of HE. Polydextrose (PDX) is consider as a prebiotic. Preliminary studies showed that PDX: modified gut microbiota, …
Efficacy and Safety of Nitazoxanide in Preventing Recurrence of Hepatic Encephalopathy
Efficacy and Safety of Nitazoxanide in preventing recurrence of Hepatic Encephalopathy.
Late Evening and Early Morning Protein Supplement to Reduce Readmissions for Hepatic Encephalopathy
Readmission rates for patients with hepatic encephalopathy due to end stage liver disease are high. Hyperammonemia contributes significantly to encephalopathy and occurs because of impaired hepatic ureagenesis and increased skeletal muscle proteolysis. We propose a randomized, 6-month nutritional intervention in cirrhotic patients who have had at least 1 admission for …
Testing LiverWatch, a Home-Based Remote-Monitoring Intervention for Advanced Liver Disease
Remote healthcare monitoring for cirrhosis has shown promise in overcoming barriers to accessing specialty care, improving healthcare quality, and reducing mortality. The LiverWatch study is investigating whether a remote nutrition, physical activity, and education intervention can improve health outcomes in those with cirrhosis. In this clinical trial, individuals will be …
Fecal Microbiota Transplantation by Oral Capsules for Hepatic Encephalopathy Treatment
This interventional study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral capsule fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for treating hepatic encephalopathy refractory to conventional rifaximin and lactulose therapy in patients with liver cirrhosis. Patients diagnosed with hepatic encephalopathy refractory to rifaximin and lactulose therapy will be randomized into three groups. …
A Study of SIPLIZUMAB in AILD and LT Patients
There is a significant unmet need for safe and effective therapeutic approaches to prevent immune-mediated graft injury and its complications in liver transplant (LT) recipients with autoimmune liver disease (AILD) including autoimmune hepatitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis. Siplizumab is an anti-cluster of differentiation 2 (CD2) monoclonal antibody that has demonstrated …
RTX001 Autologous Engineered Macrophages for Liver Cirrhosis
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of RTX001 in patients with end-stage liver disease. This study is the first time RTX001, a macrophage cell therapy engineered to have an anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effect, will be given to humans.
Hepatic Encephalopathy and Albumin Lasting Cognitive Improvement
Hypothesis: Improvement in cognitive dysfunction with IV albumin in patients with cirrhosis with prior HE and MHE lasts for several weeks after albumin infusion has ended, and is due to persistent improvement in inflammatory markers, endothelial dysfunction, albumin function and gut microbial changes. This will be a single-arm, single-blind sequential …
Pilot Open-Label Trial of Resistant Potato Starch in Patients With Cirrhosis and Overt Hepatic Encephalopathy
This research is studying how a food product (resistant potato starch) which is a dietary supplement made from potato starch affects the gut bacteria of people with cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy. The researchers in this study want to understand how potato starch works in the subject's body and how the …
BCAA vs. Rifaximin in Patients With Cirrhosis for Secondary Prophylaxis of HE
Rationale Patients who recover from an episode of overt HE(OHE) are at risk of recurrent episodes of HE and persistent minimal hepatic encephalopathy, impacting their daily functioning and mental health. A multicentric pan-India team will evaluate the role of oral branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) vs Rifaximin as secondary prophylaxis following …
