14 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this research study is to test the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of the capsules that contain bacteria from healthy individuals when used to treat alcohol craving and drinking.
The goal of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of GSK4532990 in participants with alcohol-related liver disease.
The study will look at the effects of NNC0194-0499, cagrilintide and semaglutide, on liver damage and alcohol use in participants with alcoholic liver disease. Participants will get NNC0194-0499, semaglutide, cagrilintide or ''dummy" medicine in different treatment combinations. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. The study will last for about 39 weeks.
The study consists of a randomized controlled trial evaluating the efficacy and feasibility of a stepped alcohol treatment using telemedicine on unhealthy alcohol use in patients with chronic liver disease receiving care in hepatology practices at three sites. Patients who meet eligibility criteria will be randomized to one of two study arms: 1) Stepped Alcohol Treatment (SAT) or, 2) Usual Care (UC). Participants will be randomized separately by site. SAT includes 3 sessions of motivational interviewing followed by referral to addiction medicine for patients who do not reduce unhealthy drinking. Trial outcome measures will be complete at 6 and 12 months following baseline enrollment.
The purpose of this trial is to see if providing patients with alcohol-related liver disease with tailored alcohol use treatment options will increase engagement with treatment and correct possible misconceptions.
Is acamprosate safe to use in individuals with liver disease.
The aim of this study is to compare the predictive validity and reliability of PEth testing at detecting alcohol use in post liver transplant patients. A prospective cohort study will be used to test the primary hypothesis. Subjects enrolled in the study will be followed for 12 months with biomarker levels drawn at baseline, six and 12 months. The baseline interview will inquire about the previous 30 day alcohol and tobacco use; lifetime and 12 month Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-IV criteria for alcohol abuse and/or dependence; prior alcohol treatment; history of abstinence prior to transplant; co-morbid medical issues; and depression. The six and 12 months interview will focus on previous 30 day alcohol use. The baseline, six and 12 months interviews will be conducted face-to-face at each site. While many patients who receive a transplant do not live near the academic medical center that performed the surgery patient, they normally have a transplant clinic visit 1-2 times per year. Medical records and transplant databases will be assessed to assess the other variables of interest.
This protocol describes a randomized controlled trial testing the effectiveness and implementability of the CHESS Health Connections smartphone application among patients with alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) at two medical centers in Michigan and Wisconsin, in two types of clinics: general hepatology and multidisciplinary that offers care for advanced ALD alongside co-located, integrated mental health and substance abuse treatment. The long-term goal of this and future work is to prevent disease progression and promote healthy behaviors by improving the rate of abstinence among patients with ALD earlier in the course of their disease. 298 participants will be enrolled and can expect to be on study for up to 6 months.
The current proposal is designed as a first-in-human Phase 1 open-label, dose-escalation study to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, and the maximum tolerated dose of DHM among healthy volunteers using a purified form of DHM from a local cGMP compliant source (Master Herbs, Inc).
The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of the amino acid arginine in reducing liver injury in individuals with alcohol-related hepatitis.
The purpose of the study is to determine if providing participants with alcohol-related liver disease with tailored alcohol use treatment options is feasible and acceptable in order to increase their engagement with treatment and reduce alcohol use. This is an important area to study to help create ways to increase participants' knowledge about different treatment options as well as increase likelihood of seeking and participating in alcohol use disorder treatments.
The purpose of this study is to develop a clinical understanding of early liver transplantation (ELT) for patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis (SAH) and identify the public's opinion regarding this practice.
The study objective was to determine if liver injury develops in alcoholic patients during or following 5 days of therapeutic acetaminophen dosing. Volunteers were recruited from two community detoxification centers to take either acetaminophen (4g/day) or placebo for 5 consecutive days. All subjects were monitored an additional two days following the dosing period. The primary measures were aminotransferase measures taken at baseline and Days 2, 4, 6 and 7. We hypothesized that there would be no difference in aminotransferase means between the groups at any study period.
The study objective was to determine whether liver injury develops in alcoholic patients who ingest therapeutic doses of APAP for three consecutive days. Volunteers were recruited from two community detoxification centers to take either acetaminophen (4 g/day) or placebo for 3 consecutive days and remain in the facility an additional 2 days for monitoring. The primary measures were aminotransferase measures taken at baseline and Days 2-5. We hypothesized that there would be no difference in aminotransferase measures between the acetaminophen and placebo study groups.
