This trial tests a drug called emapalumab (given by IV) to calm the immune system in children and young adults with very severe liver inflammation that hasn't improved with standard treatment. The goal is to see if it can help the liver recover and avoid the need for a transplant.
This study is looking at how the immune system responds in children with acute hepatitis A (a liver infection). Participation may help doctors better understand the body's natural defenses and improve care for other children.
This study looks at children with hepatitis A to understand what increases the risk of severe illness and what happens to them over time. It may help improve how doctors care for kids with this infection.
This study looks at how well antiviral medicines work in children with chronic hepatitis B. It may help doctors find better ways to treat children who are starting treatment or who have been on treatment for a while.
This study follows babies under 6 months old who have early signs of liver disease (cholestasis) to better understand what causes it and how it progresses. Researchers will collect medical information over time to improve diagnosis and treatment.
This study looks at how sepsis (a severe infection that affects the whole body) can damage the liver in children. It may help doctors understand and detect liver problems early, so they can provide better care for children with sepsis.
