Study of a new treatment for severe alcoholic hepatitis
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests an experimental drug for people with severe alcoholic hepatitis that did not improve with steroids. Participants should have a moderate level of organ failure, but not require a breathing tube or kidney dialysis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old and no older than 75
- You have been diagnosed with severe alcoholic hepatitis
- Steroid treatment did not work for you, or you cannot take steroids
- You have mild to moderate acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) involving up to 3 organs
- You are not on life support (breathing machine, kidney dialysis, or strong heart medications)

This early-phase study is testing a treatment approach for people with alcoholic hepatitis (liver inflammation caused by heavy alcohol use). It may help by improving liver function and outcomes in people who meet specific lab and health criteria.
This Phase 2 trial tests an injection medicine (F573) to see if it can improve people with liver injury, drug-related liver damage, or liver failure. You may be screened with blood tests, liver stiffness measurements, and possibly symptom checks.
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 tests whether giving corticosteroids for a longer time, or adding a medicine called N-acetylcysteine, can help people with severe alcoholic hepatitis. It is for patients who have been drinking heavily and recently developed jaundice.
This trial tests whether a treatment called therapeutic plasma exchange (a process that filters your blood) can help improve the function of other organs in people with severe liver failure. It aims to see if this treatment leads to better outcomes and to find markers that predict who will benefit.
This trial tests if infusions of stem cells from donated umbilical cords can help people with a severe type of liver failure caused by hepatitis B. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and can improve liver function.
