Liver failure study in cirrhosis patients
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at patients with cirrhosis who are admitted to the intensive care unit with acute-on-chronic liver failure. It aims to understand and improve care for this serious condition using a standard scoring system.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cirrhosis (scarring of the liver).
- You are being admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You have acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) as defined by the CANONIC trial criteria.
- You are between 16 and 70 years old.
- You do not have liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma).

This study looks at when liver transplant is offered and what outcomes happen in people with cirrhosis who have severe “acute-on-chronic” worsening. It may help doctors decide which patients benefit most from transplant and improve care after listing or not listing.
This trial tests a new drug called AS1501 for people with acute-on-chronic liver failure (a sudden worsening of chronic liver disease). It aims to see if the drug can help improve liver function and reduce the need for a liver transplant. You may be eligible if you are in the early or middle stage of this condition and have a specific blood marker (high TRAIL level).
This trial is testing new scoring systems to better predict how patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure will do. It may help doctors make more informed treatment decisions for people with this serious liver condition.
This is a study that collects real-world information about people with liver failure or “pre-liver failure.” It aims to help doctors choose the best management approach for patients like you and improve care over time.
This study follows patients with chronic liver disease who are hospitalized non-electively for organ failure, to understand the course of illness and outcomes over six months. It may help doctors improve care for similar patients.
This study looks at people with acute liver failure—a serious condition where the liver suddenly stops working—to understand what causes it and predict how patients will do. Researchers collect information about patients' health to identify patterns that might help doctors treat future patients better.
