Autoimmune Hepatitis Clinical Trials
Here are the 6 most popular medical studies for autoimmune hepatitis
PD-L1 LNA
Combination Hepatitis B Therapies for Chronic Hepatitis B
This trial will test the safety and effectiveness of new hepatitis B treatments in people with mild liver damage. It will compare different combinations of drugs against each other and a control group.
Direct Acting Antiviral
Hepatitis C Kidneys Transplantation for Kidney Failure
This trial will study whether it is safe to transplant kidneys from donors with hepatitis C into recipients who do not have the virus. One-year allograft function and one-year risk of CMV infection will be compared between THINKER-NEXT kidney transplant recipients and matched recipients who received hepatitis C uninfected kidney transplants. The mortality rate of kidney transplant candidates who enroll in THINKER-NEXT and consent to offers of kidneys from HCV-infected donors will be compared to matched wait-listed patients who do not consent to receive HCV-infected kidneys. Lastly, renal pathologic findings will be compared among HC
Hepatitis C Positive Liver Transplants for Liver Transplant Recipients
This trial is testing the safety and efficacy of transplanting livers from donors who are either positive or negative for the Hepatitis C virus. Treatment and prophylaxis will be administered to the recipients based on the donor's status.
Antiviral
Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir for Kidney Transplant Recipients
This trial is testing the safety and efficacy of transplanting kidneys from donors who are either hepatitis C seropositive and non-viremic, or seropositive and viremic, to recipients who are seronegative. Treatment and prophylaxis will be administered using a transmission-triggered approach for the first scenario and a prophylaxis approach for the later scenario.

Direct Acting Antiviral Agent
Epclusa for Chronic Hepatitis C
This trial will study why some people still have liver complications after being cured of hepatitis C. Eligible participants will have different tests and some will take medication for 12 weeks. Then they will have follow-up visits for up to 10 years.
Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir for Heart Transplant
This trial is testing the safety and efficacy of transplanting hearts from HCV seropositive non-viremic and HCV seropositive viremic donors to HCV seronegative recipients. Treatment and prophylaxis will be used to prevent HCV transmission.
Cancer Vaccine
DNA Vaccine for Chronic Hepatitis C
This trial studies the side effects and best dose of the DNA vaccine in treating patients with HCV infection. The vaccine may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells that express HCV infection.
Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Clinical Trials
View 16 Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease medical studies.
Thiazolidinedione
Rosiglitazone for Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of rosiglitazone alone compared with rosiglitazone plus metformin or rosiglitazone plus losartan in the treatment of biopsy proven nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). This study was designed to answer the question: are there differences in the efficacy (as measured by histopathology and insulin resistance) of three different therapeutic modalities used to treat NASH?
Microbiota Therapy
Fecal Microbiota Transplantation for Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is common, may progress to cirrhosis and is predicted to become a leading indication for liver transplantation in the near future. Though often associated with obesity and the metabolic syndrome, our current understanding of disease development is limited and there are few therapeutic options. Imbalance of gut bacteria is suspected to play a key role driving the progression of fatty liver disease and there is hope manipulation of these bacteria may be beneficial. This study will determine if fecal microbiota transplantation, using stool from lean donors, is an effective and safe treatment for NASH.
Thyroid hormone receptor agonist
MGL-3196 for Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of once-daily oral MGL-3196 on the percent change in hepatic fat fraction from baseline in patients with biopsy-proven Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH).
Phase 3 Autoimmune Hepatitis Clinical Trials
View 92 phase 3 autoimmune hepatitis medical studies.
Antiviral
HCV-Positive Organ Transplant Safety
This trial will test if it's safe to transplant organs from donors with HCV to recipients who don't have HCV. The recipient will take medication before and after the transplant. If successful, this could provide a large number of organs for transplant.
Autoimmune Hepatitis Clinical Trials With No Placebo
View 92 autoimmune hepatitis medical studies that do not have a placebo group.
Direct Acting Antiviral Agent
Epclusa for Chronic Hepatitis C
This trial will study why some people still have liver complications after being cured of hepatitis C. Eligible participants will have different tests and some will take medication for 12 weeks. Then they will have follow-up visits for up to 10 years.
Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir for Heart Transplant
This trial is testing the safety and efficacy of transplanting hearts from HCV seropositive non-viremic and HCV seropositive viremic donors to HCV seronegative recipients. Treatment and prophylaxis will be used to prevent HCV transmission.
Cancer Vaccine
DNA Vaccine for Chronic Hepatitis C
This trial studies the side effects and best dose of the DNA vaccine in treating patients with HCV infection. The vaccine may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells that express HCV infection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Introduction to autoimmune hepatitis
What are the top hospitals conducting autoimmune hepatitis research?
When it comes to advancing the understanding and treatment of autoimmune hepatitis, several top hospitals are leading the way. In Boston, Massachusetts General Hospital takes center stage with five active clinical trials focused on this condition. This renowned institution is no stranger to groundbreaking research and has been making strides in autoimmune hepatitis since recording its first trial in 2016. Meanwhile, in Cleveland, the prestigious Cleveland Clinic is also actively involved in five ongoing trials for autoimmune hepatitis. Although they have not conducted any previous specific trials for this condition, their expertise and commitment to research make them an important player in the field.
Another significant contributor to autoimmune hepatitis research is the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center located in Bethesda. With four active clinical trials currently underway, this esteemed institution plays a crucial role in advancing our knowledge of this complex disease. Similarly, at Washington University School of Medicine in Saint Louis, researchers are conducting four active clinical trials while having accomplished one all-time trial focusing on autoimmune hepatitis since their inaugural study began just a few years ago.
Rounding out the list is UPMC (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center) where three cutting-edge clinical trials targeting autoimmune hepatitis are currently taking place. While they haven't conducted any previous studies dedicated solely to this condition yet holding immense potential as a highly regarded medical center specializing across various fields.
