16 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with liver disease \[1\]. Increased activity and presence of vasodilators such as nitric oxide in cirrhotic patients leads to vasodilation, especially in the splanchnic circulation, resulting in hemodynamic changes that precipitate renal injury \[1\]. Patients may present with elevated serum creatinine (Cr), benign urine sediment, and low urine sodium \[1\].
This study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of R2R01 combined with terlipressin as compared to terlipressin alone in the treatment of patients with HRS-AKI
OCE-205 is being tested to treat participants who have developed Hepatorenal Syndrome-Acute Kidney Injury as a complication of cirrhosis with ascites. The study aims are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of OCE-205 at various doses. Participants will receive treatment by intravenous infusion. Participants will continue with this treatment until participants meets primary endpoint or any discontinuation criteria.
This research study is being done to learn what effect 7 days of treatment with the Selective Cytopheretic Device (SCD) will have on these white blood cells in the bloodstream of patients with hepatorenal syndrome and to learn whether it has any effect on the blood circulation and kidney function.
Comparing renal outcomes based on a Mean Arterail Pressure (MAP) of 65-7085mmhg versus a MAP of greater than or equal to 85mmhg
This study is to treat adult patients with hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) Type 1. Out of every three participants, two will receive terlipressin and one will receive placebo. Assignments will be made randomly.
Pentoxyfylline therapy in addition to the standard of care of albumin, midodrine and octreotide therapy is superior to the standard of care alone in the treatment of Type I hepatorenal syndrome in the first 14 days of hospitalization.
Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a life-threatening condition marked by rapid decline in kidney function in patients with liver cirrhosis or fulminant liver failure. Vasodilation in the gastrointestinal region is largely thought to contribute to the disease. LJPC-501 is a vasoconstrictor that may restore proper circulation and kidney function in patients with HRS.
A study of ifetroban in the treatment of hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) in hospitalized adult patients to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of 3 days of intravenous ifetroban.
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous terlipressin versus placebo for the treatment of type 1 hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) in participants receiving standard of care albumin therapy.
This Study will look at the effect of substances called "angiogenic factors"(development of new blood vessels) have on the development of severe liver disease. The results may help to understand the factors involved in the repair and regeneration of liver tissue and to see if different types of liver disease are associated with different types of factors, especially in the severe liver disease called hepatorenal syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether terlipressin is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) type 1 when compared to placebo.
Hepatorenal syndrome-acute kidney injury (HRS-AKI), a potentially reversible renal failure, is a serious, rapidly progressing, often fatal, complication of decompensated cirrhosis. Terlipressin is a synthetic vasopressin analogue that acts as a systemic vasoconstrictor via the vascular vasopressin V1 receptors. In HRS-AKI patients the strong V1 receptor-mediated vasoconstrictor activity of terlipressin, particularly in the splanchnic area, increases effective intravascular volume and mean arterial pressure (MAP), ameliorates renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and sympathetic nervous system hyperactivity, and improves renal blood flow. The INFUSE trial will evaluate the use of continuous terlipressin infusion in patients on the liver transplant waiting list with HRS-AKI.
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 Volume Assessment Guidance Algorithm (VAGA) or give standard of care doses of IV albumin? Patients will be randomly assigned where their treating teams will receive a VAGA-based recommendation or a standard of care IV albumin recommendation.
The goal of this pilot, randomized, single-blind clinical trial is to estimate the effect size of a high and low mean arterial pressure (MAP)-target algorithm among cirrhosis patients hospitalized with acute kidney injury. The main aims to answer are: • Does an algorithm that has low (\<80 mmHg) and high (≥80) MAP-targets lead to significant differences in mean arterial pressure? • Are there any serious adverse events (e.g., ischemia) in a high blood pressure algorithm as compared to a low blood pressure algorithm? • Are there any differences in the incidence of AKI reversal in the high v. low MAP-target groups? Participants will be: 1) Randomized to a clinical algorithm that will either target a low (\<80 mmHg) or high (≥80 mmHg) MAP. 2) Depending on their group, investigators will titrate commonly used medications to a specific MAP target. Researchers will compare the high and low MAP-target groups to see if these algorithms lead to significant changes in MAP, if they have any impact on AKI reversal, and if there are any adverse events in the high MAP-target group.
The aims of this study will be to identify the clinical characteristics, the management and the outcomes of acute kidney injury in patients with cirrhosis worldwide. Specific aims: 1. To establish the severity of AKI across different regions 2. To identify precipitants of AKI across different centers 3. To identify the phenotypes of AKI across different centers 4. To evaluate differences in the management of AKI across different centers and their impact on clinical outcomes 5. To assess outcomes of acute kidney injury (resolution of AKI, in-hospital mortality, 28-day mortality, 90-day mortality)
