1. To optimize sorafenib treatment in patients with HCC and CP-B liver cirrhosis by exploration of sorafenib exposure, its variability and predictive factors .Secondary:2. To assess the relation between sorafenib exposure and both toxicity and…
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 objectiveThe primary objective for this study is to analyse the impact of inhibition of viral replication by interferon-free therapy consisting of Sofosbuvir and Daclatasvir (±Ribavirin) on the phenotype and function of the innate immune…
To investigate the origin of BA we will assess which TLR(s) is/are activated. To test the hypothesis that during development of BA and associated liver fibrosis there is a *leaky gut* and/or a change in microbiome we will use human material to…
Primary Objective: To gain more insight in the genetic susceptibility for AIH. For this we will study the presence of candidate genes in AIH patients, study genetic similarities with other auto-immune diseases and perform a whole genome association…
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 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.
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…
Based on the gaps in our knowledge (as stated above), we have formulated the following objectives:- To quantify the degree of hepatic fat accumulation and fibrosis in patients with HFI. - To gain more insight in the mechanism leading to NAFLD in…
main objective: Investigate the prevalence of liver fibrosis according to TE values in children enrolled in a HPN-program. Secondary objectives: Investigate the correlation between TE values and ELF test score and APRI in children enrolled in a HPN-…
To investigate the correlation between the CAP-value measured with the FibroScan® device and liver fat percentage measured with 1H-MRS in a well-characterized cohort of obese children at risk of having fatty liver disease.
In this study, we aim to investigate the difference in the anabolic postprandial bile acid response between an enteral and parenteral mixed meal test (MMT) in healthy lean men. This study is important because it may give a better understanding of…
In Part 1, a single dose of EYP001a or placebo (same formulation but without the active ingredient EYP001a) will be administered and a total of 6 dose levels of EYP001a will be investigated. The purpose of Part 1 is to investigate how safe EYP001a…
Primary Objective: To assess whether the current use and dosing in cirrhosis of anticoagulation is as effective in inhibiting ex vivo thrombin generation compared to the treatment of patients with competent liver function
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 aim of this study is to compare the image quality, diagnostic confidence and patient discomfort when using either positive (50 ml Télébrix Gastro + 950 ml water ) or negative 1000 ml water only in outpatients undergoing a contrast-enhanced…
Primary objective: to investigate the incidence of IAC in patients resected for presumed PHC.Secundary objectives:- Evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy of histological criteria for IAC compared to IgG4 qPCR test- Evaluation of disease activity by…
To assess the bioequivalence of two marketed formulations of ribavirin (ribavirin solution and capsules).
The primary objective is to explore the association between peripheral T-cell activation and apoptosis and hepatic fibrosis in various underlying liver diseases. Secondary objectives are 1) to investigate whether level of T cell activation and…
The most important objectives of this study:1) examine the bacterial translocation as a consequence of elevated intestinal permeability in the morbid obese compared to controls, and to proove this is causes an inflammatory status predisposing IR/…
