Primary Objective: • Evaluate the treatment effect of NGM282 as measured by the mean change in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) from Baseline to Week 12 in patients with PSC.Secondary Objectives:• Assess the safety and tolerability of NGM282 in patients…
To evaluate the effect of bezafibrate in cholestatic pruritus.
The aim of this study is to evaluate if IV albumin administration improves short-term survival in patients with advanced cirrhosis (serum creatinine * 1.2 mg/dl, serum sodium * 130 mEq/l and/or serum bilirubin *4 mg/dl), signs of systemic…
To provide high level of evidence that omitting perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis does not increase the postoperative infection rate, in patients with acute calculous cholecystitis undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
To investigate whether addition of PEG-IFN alfa-2a in HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B patients who are pretreated with NA enhances the degree of HBsAg decline
Current practice variation in selection of patients with gallbladder stones and abdominal complaints for cholecystectomy is not efficient. Here we evaluate stepwise selection for surgery to improve patient outcome and to reduce the number of…
The aim of this study is to demonstrate that procedural sedation with propofol and esketamine is more effective and will result in less cardiopulmonary depression than sedation with propofol and the opioid alfentanil. Less side effects should also…
In this study we would like to investigate whether repetitive allogeneic (lean donor) fecal transplantations can reduce liversteatosis and if so which (small) intestinal bacteria cause this inflammation in the liver resulting in subsequent chronic…
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of concentration controlled combination of once daily dosed low-dose sirolimus (trough levels: 3-5 ng/ml) and extended-release tacrolimus (trough levels:3-5 ng/ml), in order to provide superior renal function…
The primary objective of this study is:• To evaluate whether selonsertib (SEL, previously known as GS 4997) can cause fibrosis regression and reduce associated complications in subjects with cirrhosis due to NASH. The secondary objective of this…
Primary objective:- To determine the effect of LIK066 on Liver Function test after 12 weeks of treatmentSecondary objectives: - To determine the effect of LIK066 on intrahepatic lipid after 12 weeks of treatment- To determine the effect of LIK066 on…
Primary Objective: To study whether CSWI+PCA provides similar analgesia after laparotomies for HPB conditions as compared to PCEA measured as the OBAS score, a composite endpoint composed of pain score, patient satisfaction and opioid related side…
To compare in a randomized controlled trail (RCT) the risk of neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia between neonates treated with CFT and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (augmentin, AUGM) combination versus neonates treated with the aminoglycoside, tobramycin (…
The objective of the study is to improve quality of life of patients with Hepatitis C, by teaching patients psychological skills that aid in coping with the consequences of the disease.
To compare the outcome of early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (<72 hrs after randomization) with interval laparoscopic cholecystectomy (25-30 days after randomization) after mild biliary pancreatitis.
To study the effect of alleviation of obstructive cholestasis by biliary drainage with or without rifampicin on serum bilirubin levels, quality of life, itch intensity, and serum and/or biliary bile salt, ATX, LPA, FGF-19 and biliary HCO3- levels in…
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of supplementation of a high oral dose of omega-3 fatty acids on hepatic steatosis and glucose metabolism in morbidly obese patients undergoing laparoscopic Roux-Y gastric bypass surgery (LRYGBP).
To evaluate the use of concentration-controlled everolimus, with the reduction or the elimination of tacrolimus, to provide superior renal function and to provide non-inferior rates of the composite efficacy endpoint compared to the tacrolimus…
Primary objective:To assess the effects of fenretinide on hepatic and peripheral insulin sensitivity in obese, insulin resistant subjectsSecondary objective:To assess the effects of fenretinide on hepatic steatosis, body weight and body fat…
To investigate sustained HBeAg response to peg-interferon alfa-2b in chronic HBeAg-positive hepatitis Bpatients who are pretreated with nucleos(t)ide analogues, thereby lowering viral load
