19 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The primary goal of this study is to establish a database of people with varying levels of hepatic fibrosis and various etiologies of liver disease for use in future research protocols.
It is reported in the literature that the treatment of any liver and bile duct disease process, whether benign or malignant, continues to be a huge challenge. For example, patients with adenocarcinoma continue to be diagnosed at an advanced stage with medical and surgical options that are improving in terms of outcome measurements but with much more room for improvement. Our goal is to continue to review our treatment outcomes to further improve overall survival, overall symptom control, mortality and morbidity. The main aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the outcomes from our multiple treatments of benign or malignant liver and bile duct diseases.
This study is designed to assess whether the investigational drug maralixibat, is safe and well tolerated in children \<12 months of age with Alagille Syndrome \[ALGS\] or Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis \[PFIC\].
Evaluate the long-term safety of maralixibat (MRX) in subjects with cholestatic liver disease including, but not limited to, Alagille Syndrome (ALGS), Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis (PFIC) and Biliary Atresia.
The study will examine and evaluate the use of extracellular RNA in blood as markers for the diagnosis of liver disease or cancer, and as markers for prediction of response to treatment or recurrence of cancer after surgery
This is an open label study in children with Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis (PFIC) designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LUM001, also known as Maralixibat (MRX). Efficacy will be assessed by evaluating the effect of LUM001 on pruritus and the biochemical markers of pruritus associated with PFIC.
This trial studies how well electronic neurocognitive tools work in screening for mental capability in patients who are undergoing liver surgery. Using electronic neurocognitive screening tools may help to better assess mental impairment.
This phase III trial studies how well thoracic epidural analgesia or four-quadrant transversus abdominus plane block works in reducing pain in patients undergoing liver surgery. It is not yet known whether thoracic epidural analgesia or four-quadrant transversus abdominus plane block may help people to recover more completely and more quickly after surgery.
This clinical trial studies contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detecting nonmalignant and malignant liver lesions. Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI, may help find and diagnose nonmalignant and malignant liver lesions. Contrast agents, such as gadoxetate disodium and gadobutrol, may help doctors to see MRI images more clearly.
* To document the clinical utility of diagnostic and/or therapeutic intraoperative endoscopy using a thin, single-use, flexible cholangiopancreatoscope * To identify specific surgical procedures in which intraoperative use of a thin, single use, flexible cholangiopancreatoscope suggests clinically meaningful benefit and generate a hypothesis for possible subsequent claims-supportive study
An open-label, single-arm, multi-centre program providing treatment access to ALGS patients with cholestatic pruritus in the US. Access can be requested through Clinigen Healthcare Ltd via email MirumALGS@clinigengroup.com or telephone +1-877-768-4303.
The primary objective of this open label extension study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of maralixibat.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the investigational treatment (maralixibat) is safe and effective in pediatric participants with Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis (PFIC).
This clinical registry study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the AE05ML device for ligating vessels and tissue structures during laparoscopic surgery using Hem-o-lok® Medium Large (ML) polymer clips. The primary objective is to assess the device's safety and performance, with secondary objectives focusing on device performance characteristics and operator feedback.
The study intervention consists of the early integration of palliative care services into standard oncology care in an outpatient setting for patients with advanced lung and non-colorectal gastrointestinal malignancies who are not being treated with curative intent. The palliative care services provided to patients randomized to the intervention will be provided by board-certified physicians and/or advanced practice nurses and will focus on the following areas: (1) developing and maintaining the therapeutic relationship with the patients and family caregivers; (2) assessing and treating patient symptoms; (3) providing support and reinforcement of coping with advanced cancer in patients and family caregivers; (4) assessing and enhancing prognostic awareness and illness understanding in patients and family caregivers; (5) assisting with treatment decision-making; and (6) end-of-life care planning.
The main purpose of this study is to see if regorafenib can help control or decrease cancer size in patients with cancer of the bile duct. Researchers also want to find out if regorafenib is safe and tolerable.
Open-label, Phase I-II, first-in-human (FIH) study for A166 monotherapy in HER2-expressing or amplified patients who progressed on or did not respond to available standard therapies. Patients must have documented HER2 expression or amplification. The patient must have exhausted available standard therapies. Patients will receive study drug as a single IV infusion. Cycles will continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
This is a study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for CDX-1140 (CD40 antibody), either alone or in combination with CDX-301 (FLT3L), pembrolizumab, or chemotherapy and to further evaluate its tolerability and efficacy in expansion cohorts once the MTD is determined.
RATIONALE: Biological therapies use different ways to stimulate the immune system and stop cancer cells from growing. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of biological therapy in treating patients who have metastatic cancer that has not responded to previous treatment.
