Acute on Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF)

Clinical trial The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a liver support protocol works to treat Liver failure in adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does hemoadsorption plus half-dose plasma exchange provide support to liver failure patients until recovery or transplant * What medical problems do participants have during the technique? Researchers will compare DPMAS plus half-dose plasma exchange with conventional treatment to evaluate a gain in recovery Participants will: * Be submitted to DPMAS plus half dose plasma exchange daily according to protocol. * Monitoring will be continuous in the ICU

This is a Phase 1, first-in-human (FIH) safety, proof-of-concept, two-part study of the genetically-engineered EGEN-5784 liver in combination with the metra® extra-corporeal liver cross-circulation (ELC) system in participants with Grade 2 to Grade 3 acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) and hepatic encephalopathy Grade 1-3. The metra® device has been modified for the purposes of cross-circulation with an extra-corporeal porcine liver. The EGEN-5784 liver and metra® ELC device are designed to support liver function during the treatment period

This study is intended to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of the DIALIVE Liver Dialysis Device when incorporated into the standard management plan for participants with A-TANGO ACLF grade 2-4. A total of 72 evaluable participants, aged 18-70, will be enrolled in up to 12 clinical centres in the United Kingdom. Participants must have a history of liver cirrhosis and a deterioration within four weeks due to a precipitating event, leading to A-TANGO ACLF grade 2-4. Multicenter, individually randomised, controlled, open-label, parallel group trial using double-arm design. The control group will receive SoC for participants with ACLF. The DIALIVE 2.0 treatment group will receive SoC with the addition of up to 7 (seven) daily DIALIVE 2.0 treatment sessions within the 10-day treatment window. Seventy-two participants with ACLF (60% A-TANGO ACLF grade 2 at randomisation, and 40% A-TANGO ACLF grade 3 \& 4 at randomisation) will be randomised 1:1 to receive either SoC or SoC + DIALIVE 2.0. This allows for 5% loss due to drop-out, and 5% censoring due to liver transplantation within 28 days. All randomised participants will be included in the intention to treat (ITT) analysis while all participants that receive at least one treatment cycle will be used for the safety population. For each participant, the study duration will be up to 105 days (screening: 5 days; treatment up to 10 days; follow up 90 days). The total study duration is estimated to be approximately 18 months from screening of first participant until study completion of the last participant.

This study is testing whether Vitamin C can help improve kidney function and survival in very sick patients with liver disease. Patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) often develop serious infections that can lead to septic shock and kidney injury, which are major causes of death. In this randomized controlled trial, patients with ACLF and septic shock will be assigned to receive either: 1. Standard medical treatment alone, or 2. Standard medical treatment plus intravenous Vitamin C. Vitamin C is a safe, inexpensive antioxidant that may reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and protect the kidneys. The study will compare how well patients recover from septic shock and kidney injury in the two groups. Blood and urine samples will also be collected to look for biological markers that can predict outcomes.

Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a serious condition in which patients with chronic liver disease suddenly develop severe liver injury, leading to inflammation, organ failure, and very high short-term mortality. Standard medical treatment can help, but many patients still do poorly without liver transplantation. This study will test whether Double Plasma Molecular Adsorption System (DPMAS), an extracorporeal blood purification therapy, can improve outcomes in ACLF patients. DPMAS works by filtering the blood through special adsorption columns that remove harmful substances such as bile acids, toxins, and inflammatory molecules. In this randomized controlled trial, adult patients with ACLF will be randomly assigned to receive either: Standard medical therapy alone, or Standard medical therapy plus DPMAS. The main goal is to see whether DPMAS can improve liver function and reduce disease severity within 14 days. Other outcomes include survival without liver transplant at 28 days, improvement in organ functions, reduction in inflammation, and safety of the procedure. The study will be conducted at the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS), New Delhi, India, and will enroll about 56 participants over one year.

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine primarily whether a combinatorial therapy based on the administration of human albumin and enoxaparin is safe and effective in patients with decompensated cirrhosis discharged from the hospital. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is this combinatorial therapy safe and tolerable? * Is this combinatorial therapy effective? * does this combinatorial therapy cost more or less than standard medical therapy? Participants will attend to study visits in which several test will be performed to asses disease evolution while they are taking study medication. Researchers will compare experimental group treated with combinatorial therapy plus standard treatment with control group treated with standard treatment to see if there are differences in the responses to the questions raised above.

Spontaneous Observational Prospective Multicenter study of all patients admitted to Intensive Care with a diagnosis of Acute on Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF) of grade ≥ 2 for which the use of the system will be authorized extracorporeal purification with DM CYTOSORB. The hypothesis underlying the study is to evaluate whether the modulation of bilirubin and other toxic molecules and mediators, obtainable through the use of systems extracorporeal purification (specifically DM CYTOSORB), may have an impacton the degree of organ failure in patients with ACLF. The study proposes the compilation of a structured and shared data collection with other Italian Intensive Care Centers which include patients suffering from ACLF (multicenter study) of clinical and laboratory parameters, which are part of normal clinical practice.
