This study investigates metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), a condition where fat builds up in the liver due to metabolic issues. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of different investigational medications for adults with MASLD who are at high risk of serious liver …
What is the purpose of this study?The aim of this study is to collect a small sample of liver tissue and approximately 15mL of blood from patients who are undergoing elective liver biopsies for clinical purposes to establish and grow a liver tissue bank. The samples will be used for …
This study investigates liver fibrosis in patients with known or suspected liver disease. Liver fibrosis is a condition where the liver becomes scarred due to long-term damage. The purpose of this study is to collect data using transient elastography, a method that uses sound waves to measure liver stiffness, which …
This study investigates the immune responses in children who have had a liver transplant. The purpose is to understand how the body's immune system acts before and during a problem called acute cellular rejection, which can happen after a transplant. Acute cellular rejection is when the body's immune system attacks …
This study investigates how to improve fairness in liver transplant referrals. The purpose is to develop and test a program called LT-CARE, which aims to address barriers faced by patients, healthcare providers, and the health system. The study will be conducted in five community gastroenterology practices that serve groups experiencing …
TReatment for ImmUne Mediated PathopHysiology (TRIUMPH) is a multi-center, three arm,domized, controlled trial of immunosuppressive therapy for children with acute liverure. The study will determine if suppressing inflammatory responses with eitherds or equine anti-thymocyte globulin therapy improves survival for children withhis rare, life-threatening condition.
What is the purpose of this study?The overall objective of this proposal is to conduct a systematic approach to dissect both genetic underpinnings and non-genetic factors in the development of adult autoimmune liver diseases including autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), overlap AIH with Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (AIH-PBC), overlap AIH with Primary Sclerosing …
The purpose of this study is to create a research registry of patients with NAFL (non alcoholic fatty liver) or NASH (non alcoholic steatohepatitis)in order to assess the safety and effectiveness of current and future therapies. The goal is to identify the factors associated with favorable versus suboptimal clinical response …
The purpose of this study is to help understand the rates of psychosocial illness in liver transplant recipients and examine their health related quality of life (HR QOL) measures.
We are investigating the use of a painless ultrasound technology called Transient Elastography (TE) to measure changes in the liver that indicate the amount of scar tissue in the liver. Ultrasound technology works by placing a probe on the outside of your body, which uses sound waves to create a …
