Quantifying Hepatic Mitochondrial Fluxes in Humans
In this study the investigators will quantitate hepatic mitochondrial fluxes in T2D patients with NAFL and NASH before and after 16-weeks treatment with the insulin sensitizer pioglitazone
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 …
Immune Tolerance Induction After Liver Transplantation
This clinical trial is being conducted to help liver transplant recipients safely discontinue toxic immunosuppressive drugs years after surgery. Lifelong use of these drugs is the current standard, but they come with life-threatening side effects. UCLA has pioneered this "Delayed Tolerance" approach, achieving success in numerous kidney recipients now living …
Expanding HOPE Liver
This is a prospective, multicenter clinical study. The objective is to determine whether a liver transplant from a deceased donor with HIV is associated with an increased risk of opportunistic infection and cancer. Adults with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) in need of a liver or simultaneous liver-kidney (SLK) transplant who …
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 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, …
EUS Guided Portal-systemic Pressure Gradient Measurement
Portal hypertension is characterised by an increased portal pressure gradient (PPG), that is the difference in pressure between the portal vein and the inferior vena cava (IVC). Portal hypertension is a consequence of cirrhosis resulting from chronic hepatitis. Patients with portal hypertension are at risk of developing complications including oesophageal …
Intra-Hepatic Microbiota in Alcoholic Hepatitis
Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is a serious complication of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). The histological presentation of AH is characterized by neutrophilic lobular inflammation, macrovesicular steatosis, hepatocyte ballooning and necrosis and the presence of Mallory bodies. In cases of severe HA, defined by a modified Maddrey score of 32 or above, …
