Estrogen Administration for the Treatment of NASH in Postmenopausal Women

NASH - Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a growing epidemic in the United States. Despite this, the treatment options remain limited. Preclinical and preliminary clinical data suggest that estrogen deficiency plays an important role in the pathology of steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), the progressive form of NAFLD. Post-menopausal women are a growing population with particularly high risk of NASH due to their lack of estrogen. This study will examine the effect of estradiol on hepatic fibrosis and fat in post-menopausal women with NASH.

National Liver Cancer Screening Trial

Carcinoma, Hepatocellular · Liver Cancer · Liver Cirrhosis

The National Liver Cancer Screening Trial is an adaptive randomized phase IV Trial comparing ultrasound-based versus biomarker-based screening in 5500 patients with cirrhosis from any etiology or patients with chronic hepatitis B infection. Eligible patients will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to Arm A using semi-annual ultrasound and AFP-based screening or Arm B using semi-annual screening using GALAD alone. Randomization will be stratified by sex, enrolling site, Child Pugh class (A vs. B), and HCC etiology (viral vs. non-viral). Patients will be recruited from 15 sites (mix of tertiary care and large community health systems) over a 3-year period, and the primary endpoint of the phase IV trial, reduction in late-stage HCC, will be assessed after 5.5 years.

A Master Protocol of Multiple Agents in Adults With Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (SYNERGY-Outcomes)

Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease

The main purpose of the SYNERGY-OUTCOMES study is to find out whether retatrutide and tirzepatide can prevent major adverse liver outcomes (MALO) in people with high-risk metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The study will enroll adults who have MASLD based on non-invasive tests (NITs), which indicate they are more likely to develop MALO. Participants will be randomly assigned within a Master Protocol to receive either retatrutide (N1T-MC-RT01), tirzepatide (N1T-MC-TZ01) or placebo. The trial plans to enroll about 4,500 adults and will run for approximately 224 weeks. Participants may have up to approximately 25 to 30 clinic visits throughout the study to monitor their health, complete study procedures, and assess liver function and disease progression. Once the study is complete, eligible participants may participate in an optional 2-year extension study, in which all participants will receive either retatrutide or tirzepatide, even if they received placebo in the main study.

Observational Study of Adults and Adolescents With Erythropoietic Protoporphyria (EPP) and X-linked Porphyria (XLP)

Erythropoietic Protoporphyria (EPP) · X-Linked Porphyria (XLP)

The purpose of this study is to collect information about the effects of EPP/XLP in adults and adolescents. This is an observational study in which participants will not receive any treatment. Study details include: * The study duration will be up to 6 months for each participant. * After Screening, participants will have a Baseline (Day 1) visit and return for visits every 4 weeks through 24 weeks. * Assessments to evaluate EPP/XLP will include clinical laboratory tests, physical exams, vital signs measurement, blood draws for PPIX concentration, reporting of EPP/XLP-related symptoms (including completion of a daily diary), light dosimetry.

Detoxification of the Liver In PSC (Dolphin)

Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

This study is a clinical trial being done to investigate the efficacy of drug BRS201 (hydroxocobalamin) as a treatment in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis. Participation in this study will take 8 weeks long and the study is structured as a cross-over study in which participants will take the study drug for 4 weeks and a placebo drug for 4 weeks in a randomized order in the form of an oral medication. Participation may also involve receiving an IV dose of the medication. The study will require participants to attend 9 study visits, all of which will be remote. Participation will involve taking an oral medication twice daily, tracking the medication in a log, and getting blood drawn and giving a stool sample for a few lab tests throughout the study. For the lab tests, a research nurse will visit the participant in-home for the convenience of the participant.

InAdvance: Surveillance, Prevention, and Interception in a Population at Risk for Cancer

Cancer Risk · Cancer Predisposition Syndrome · Hereditary Cancer Prediction

This research study is creating a way to collect and store specimens and information from participants who may be at an increased risk of developing cancer, or has been diagnosed with an early phase of a cancer or a family member who has a family member with a precursor condition for cancer. * The objective of this study is to identify exposures as well as clinical, molecular, and pathological changes that can be used to predict early development of cancer, malignant transformation, and risks of progression to symptomatic cancer that can ultimately be fatal. * The ultimate goal is to identify novel markers of early detection and risk stratification to drive potential therapeutic approaches to intercept progression to cancer.

A Study of NST-6179 in Subjects With Intestinal Failure-Associated Liver Disease (IFALD).

Intestinal Failure Associated Liver Disease

This is a phase 2a, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of NST-6179 in subjects with intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD) receiving parenteral nutrition (PN). The study will be conducted in 2 sequential parts. Up to 36 subjects diagnosed with IFALD will be enrolled in the study, of which up to 18 subjects will be enrolled in each of the 2 parts and randomized (2:1) to receive NST-6179 (N=12/part) or matched placebo (N=6/part). Subjects in Part A will receive once daily (QD) oral administration of 800 mg (32 mL solution) NST-6179 or placebo for 4 weeks. The NST-6179 dose for Part B is planned to be 1200 mg QD for 12 weeks. Actual dose, however, will be determined during the safety review meeting.

Computer Guided Microwave Liver Ablation

Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the intraoperative use of a computer guidance software can improve the success of liver tumor ablation in adults. The employed software calculates and displays a simulation of the ablation such that the physician can visualize what portion of the target tumor has, and has not been treated at any point during the procedure. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1) Does the use of the computer guidance software reduce the number of times a tumor is incompletely treated. 2) Does the use of the computer guidance software reduce the rate of local tumor recurrence at 2 year follow-up? 3) Was there an increase or a decrease in medical problems for participants after a procedure where the guidance software was used? Researchers will compare liver tumor treatment using the computer guidance software with an historic control to see if the addition of the guidance software improved the outcomes after an ablation. Participants will: Undergo CT-guided microwave ablation treatment of a liver tumor using computer-assisted simulation. Visit the clinic at one month and then every 3 months for blood tests and a contrast-enhanced CT or MRI imaging study (as per standard of care)
