Liver Transplantation for Non-resectable Colorectal Liver Metastases: Translational Research
The patients with non-resectable colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) have always being considered a particular subgroup of CRLM in which the therapeutic approach, is focused on strategies that allow a potential surgery like neoadjuvant systemic treatments. But, the underlying biology that causes this particular profile of spread in a proportion of …
Living Donor Liver Transplantation for Unresectable Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases
Patients with unresectable liver metastases (LM) from colorectal cancer (CRC)have a poor prognosis. In patients with resectable disease, surgery offers a distinct survival benefit. This study will offer live donor liver transplantation (LDLT) to select patients with unresectable metastases that are 1) limited to the liver and 2) stable (non-progressing) …
TANGO-LIVER Three Arm Nuclear Growth Observation in Liver Surgery
Liver resection is the treatment of choice in patients with malignant liver lesions. Unfortunately, the surgery is not always an option, as in same patients the future remnant liver (FRL) is too small to supply all the functions. Therefore, some additional methods have been proposed to increase the size of …
Defibrotide Dose-escalation for SOS Post-HSCT
This research study is being done to determine the safety and tolerability of increasing doses of defibrotide within a single patient with sinusoidal obstructive syndrome (SOS)/veno-occlusive disease (VOD) after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) associated with either kidney and/or lung impairment that has not obtained a complete response (CR) or progressed …
Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Nicotinamide in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 and Liver Fibrosis (NICOFIB)
The objective of this clinical trial, a pilot study, is to assess the impact of nicotinamide (NAM) on individuals with hepatic fibrosis. The main question it aims to answer is: To determine if the treatment with NAM is able to arrest, or even reduce, the hepatic fibrosis. In addition, we …
Evaluation of Minimal Hepatic Encephalopathy in Patients With Cirrhosis and Portal Hypertension
Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) is a subclinical cognitive impairment and represents the mildest type of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). Portal hypertension is the main complication of cirrhosis and is responsible of severe complications such as HE. The consequence of portal hypertension is the formation of the spontaneous portosystemic shunts (SPSS). The …
Effects of VLCKD in Metabolic Syndrome
VLCKD has showed to be an impactful diet on several metabolism aspects and has proven to be useful for preventing and treating diabetes mellitus type 2, overweight, chronic inflammation and fatty liver. For this reason, the aim of this pilot study is to examinate the potential effect of a VLCKD …
Harnessing Macrophage Lysosomal Lipid Metabolism in Obesity
The goal of this study is to evaluate the role of transcription factor EB (TFEB) in adipose (fat) tissue macrophages (ATM) in regulating adipose tissue and systemic metabolic function in obesity. The investigators will assess the differences in ATM lipid metabolism in people with metabolically abnormal obesity and lean individuals. …
Tislelizumab Plus TKI as Adjuvant Therapy Versus Active Surveillance in Patients With HCC
Background: Ablation is important radical treatment in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the 5-year recurrence rate of HCC after ablation is up to 80%. Early and late recurrences are more likely related to tumor size, tumor multiplicity, vascular invasion, higher serum AFP level and disease etiology, etc. Some studies suggested that …
Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound to Evaluate Response to Chemoembolization in Patients With Liver Tumors
This phase II trial evaluates the diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for assessing treatment response in patients undergoing transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for liver tumors. TACE is a hepatic artery embolization technique involving the injection of a blocking agent and a chemotherapy agent to treat liver cancers. Currently, contrast enhanced …
