Steroids for drug-induced liver injury with high bilirubin
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether steroids (glucocorticoids) can help people with acute liver injury caused by a drug, especially when bilirubin levels are high. It aims to see if steroids can reduce liver damage and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of acute drug-induced liver injury (liver damage from a medication).
- Your bilirubin level (a measure of liver function) must be between 5 and 20 times the normal upper limit.
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You cannot have other causes of liver injury, like viral hepatitis, alcohol-related liver disease, or autoimmune disease.
- You cannot have taken steroids in the past 3 months or need ongoing steroid therapy.
- You cannot have severe kidney problems, active infections, or certain other serious health conditions.

This trial tests whether plasmapheresis (a blood-cleaning procedure) can help people with severe drug-induced liver injury who also have a chronic liver condition. If you qualify, you would receive this treatment to try to reduce liver damage and improve recovery.
This trial builds a prediction model to identify drug-related liver injury (DILI) by looking at your blood test patterns, timing, and expert diagnosis. It may help improve how doctors recognize this condition earlier and more accurately.
This study puts people with a past drug- or herbal-related liver injury into a research registry. The goal is to better understand why the injury happens so doctors can prevent and recognize it sooner.
This trial is for people with blood cancers who are getting chemotherapy that can harm the liver. It tests if adding a specific liver-protecting injection can help prevent or treat liver damage.
This study follows people who developed liver injury from a medicine (not from other causes). It aims to better describe different types and severities of drug-related liver injury and may help improve how clinicians recognize and manage it.
This trial tests whether the steroid prednisone can safely and effectively help people whose liver has been damaged by a medication and hasn't started to improve after stopping that drug. If you have moderate to severe liver injury from a medicine and your liver enzymes are still high, this might be an option.
