The primary objective of this Registry is:• To evaluate HCV viral sequences and the persistence or evolution of treatment emergent viral mutations in subjects who fail to achieve an SVR after treatment with a Gilead oral antiviral containing regimen…
Main objective: investigate the correlation between CAP-values with fat percentages found at 1H-MR Spectroscopy and steatosis grade at liver biopsy. Secondary objectives: investigate the reproducibility of CAP-measurements; investigate the…
Study of the phenotype and function of NK cells obtained from peripheral blood and liver of patients who are successfully being treated for at least 3-4 years for their chronic HBV infection with tenofovir in a flow-up study (METC nr. 2008-271).
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…
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 compare accumulation of liver fat (as measured using CAP) and liver fibrosis (as measured using fibroscan) between patients with quiescent and active inflammatory bowel disease
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…
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…
To study the long-term effects of interferon-α treatment for chronic hepatitis B patients infection.
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…
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.
The primary aim of this project is to discover new cellular (non-invasive) biomarkers for the diagnosis and monitoring of immune-mediated liver diseases. Secondly we aim to effectively differentiate AIH from DILI and NAFL from NASH.
To investigate FGF19 signalling and metabolic and functional consequences of a disturbed enterohepatic cycle in patients with obstructive cholestasis
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-…
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…
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…
The goal of this study is to document the efficacy of a shortened 8-week therapy with grazoprevir and elbasvir in patients with acute HCV genotype 1 or 4 infection.
-The primary objective of this study is to investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of olaparib after a single oral dose of 300 mg to patients with advanced solid tumours and mild or moderate hepatic impairment compared to those with normal hepatic…
