Primary sclerosing cholangitis

This trial tests an experimental antibody drug called CM-101 in adults with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), a rare liver disease. The drug targets a protein called CCL24 to potentially reduce inflammation and scarring. Participants receive either CM-101 or a placebo by intr…

This study tested whether analyzing a patient's DNA and RNA could help doctors pick the right drug for inflammatory diseases that don't fit standard categories. 32 adults with at least two affected organs (including skin) received one of six targeted therapies based on their mole…

This study tested whether sulfasalazine, a drug used for arthritis, can improve liver health and symptoms in people with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) who also have inflammatory bowel disease. 32 adults across the US took either the drug or a placebo for a set time. Resear…

This Phase 2a trial tested an experimental oral drug called PLN-74809 in 121 adults with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and suspected liver fibrosis. The main goals were to check the drug's safety and how it moves through the body. Participants received either the drug or a…

This study tested whether tranexamic acid, a drug that helps blood clot, can lower the chance of infection after gastrointestinal surgery. Over 3,300 adults at higher risk for complications took part. The goal was to see if the drug reduces surgical site infections compared to a …

This first-in-human study tested a single dose of PVT201, a nanoparticle-based drug, in 24 people: healthy volunteers and patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) or primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). The main goal was to check safety and how the drug moves through the …

This study tested a drug called HTD1801 in 59 adults with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), a rare liver disease. Participants took either a low dose, a high dose, or a placebo for 18 weeks. The main goal was to see if the drug could lower a liver enzyme called ALP, which is …

This study tested two types of endoscopes used in ERCP, a procedure to treat bile duct and pancreas problems. One scope had a single-use plastic cover on its tip, while the other was a standard reusable scope. Researchers compared how well each worked and how often complications …

This study looked at how well a new, quick finger-prick test (LumiraDx CRP) measures CRP levels compared to a standard lab test. CRP is a marker of infection, inflammation, or tissue injury. 79 adults with symptoms of these conditions took part. The goal was to see if the new tes…

This completed study tested a device called NvisionVLE® that helps doctors see bile duct details during a procedure called ERCP. Only 3 adults who had the procedure between 2017 and 2019 took part. The goal was to check if the device is safe and can better find abnormalities to g…

This early study tested a new radioactive tracer called 18F-FDS in 16 people with suspected bacterial or fungal infections. The tracer is designed to light up infection sites on PET/CT scans, helping doctors see exactly where an infection is. The goal was to check how the tracer …

This study tested how well a special MRI scan called LiverMultiScan can measure liver fat, iron, and scarring. 61 adults with various liver diseases had up to 6 scans on different machines. The goal was to see if the results are consistent when repeated on the same scanner or on …

This study tested a 12-week online mind-body program for adults with chronic conditions like heart failure, cancer, and liver disease. The program included mindful movement, meditation, breathwork, and coping skills. Researchers measured changes in anxiety, depression, fatigue, a…

This completed study looked at how the social networks of caregivers affect their stress and health when caring for someone with an inherited disease. Researchers surveyed over 680 participants, including family members and formal caregivers, to understand caregiving burden and s…

This completed observational study at Uşak University examined 150 adults hospitalized in the endocrinology department. Researchers measured breathing, muscle strength, pain, fatigue, sleep quality, physical activity, balance, and nerve function. The goal was to better understand…

This pilot study looked at how two different diets affect people with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), a rare liver disease. Twenty adults were randomly assigned to either a vegan/low-sulfur diet or the specific carbohydrate diet for 8 weeks, with support from dietitians. Th…

This study tested a new single-use duodenoscope (aScope) in 59 patients at high risk of infection after ERCP, a procedure to treat bile duct problems. The goal was to see if the scope works well and to gather information on costs and complications. The results could help decide i…
