Avoiding Recooling After Normothermic Machine Perfusion in Liver Transplantation
The ARANMP-LT study is a multicenter, open-label, randomized, parallel-group, non-inferiority clinical trial designed to evaluate whether avoiding graft recooling after normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) improves early outcomes following liver transplantation. Although graft recooling before implantation is common practice, experimental and preliminary clinical evidence suggests that abrupt temperature changes may contribute …
Improving the Use of Immunotherapy to Treat Liver Cancer
This project targets patients with a form of primary liver cancer, specifically "hepatocellular carcinoma". This disease often develops in the context of a chronically diseased liver, caused by viral infections, excessive alcohol consumption, or fatty liver. Primarily due to the rise of the latter risk factor, liver cancer is one …
Effect of Preoperative CIMT on Hemodynamics During Liver Transplantation
Candidates for liver transplantation (CT) carry an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to underlying end-stage liver disease (ESHD) and immunosuppressive drugs used post-transplantation. CVD is a significant cause of long-term mortality after CT \[1\] \[2\]. Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT), a subclinical marker of atherosclerosis in the preoperative period, …
GPC3 Targeted CAR-T Cell Therapy in Advanced GPC3 Expressing Solid Tumor Malignancies
Background A new cancer treatment takes a person s own T cells, modifies them in a laboratory so they can better fight cancer cells, and then gives them back to the person. Researchers want to see if this treatment can help people with a certain types of cancer. Objective To …
Additional Chemotherapy Administered Directly Into the Liver Using a Chemo Pump in Patients With Bile Duct Cancer Inside the Liver Treatable by Surgery
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if additional chemotherapy by means of a chemo pump can prevent return of disease in adult patients with bile duct cancer in the liver that can be treated with surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does addition of …
An Exosome-Based Liquid Biopsy for the Differential Diagnosis of Primary Liver Cancer
It is sometimes difficult to precisely understand whether a primary liver cancer is a hepatocellular carcinoma or a cholangiocarcinoma. The researchers will develop and validate a liquid biopsy, based on exosomal content analysis and powered by machine learning, to help clinicians differentiate these two cancers before surgery.
Lung Disease and Its Affect on the Work of White Blood Cells in the Lungs
The purpose of this study is to look at how Alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency and Cystic Fibrosis (CF) affect white blood cells in the lungs, called macrophages, and their ability to work.
Initial Resuscitation for Acute Kidney Injury in Cirrhosis
The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate two strategies for how to provide intravenous (IV) fluids for treating patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) in cirrhosis. The main question it aims to answer is: what is the safety, efficacy, and feasibility of providing a recommendation to use a …
Simultaneous Prospective Kidney Transplant Assessment in Combined Liver Kidney Candidates
The purpose of the study is to determine how much a persons kidney function recovers after receiving a simultaneous liver kidney transplant. The investigators will be contacting patients with kidney dysfunction with estimated GFR between 25 and 40 (not on dialysis treatment) who are listed to receive a simultaneous liver …
Liver Transplantation Compared to Chemotherapy in Patients With ColoRectal Cancer
The trial is a randomized control trial. Patients are randomized between Ltx and other treatment that may include further chemotherapy, TACE, SIRT or other available treatment options. The patients will be randomized 1:1 to Ltx and chemotherapy/other treatment options.
