The purpose of this study is to evaluate improvements in predictive accuracy for risk of decompensation over time for a composite risk score that includes non-modifiable and modifiable clinical, pathophysiological and behavioral risk factors (i.e., a “test” model) compared to a composite risk score that includes clinical risk factors alone (i.e., a “base” model) in a large, multi-center cohort of patients with cirrhosis.

The main purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of Obeticholic Acid when used in patients with moderately severe alcoholic hepatitis. The researchers suspect that individuals with alcoholic hepatitis have certain abnormalities in how their body handles bile acids (a product made by the liver on a daily basis) produced by the liver. Obeticholic acid has been shown to affect bile acid abnormalities and thus it is possible that obeticholic acid may improve liver condition in individuals with alcoholic hepatitis.

Hypothesis: Oral administration of hyperimmune bovine colostrum enriched with anti-LPS antibodies will reduce endotoxemia, and improve pathophysiological and clinical parameters related to severe alcoholic hepatitis (SAH).

Aim: To perform a phase 2a "proof of concept" placebo-controlled, dose-ranging study of Imm 124-E (hyperimmune bovine colostrum enriched with IgG anti-LPS) in subjects with severe AH on steroids.

The main purpose of the study is to test if taking a study drug called emricasan (also known as IDN-6556 and PF-03491390) will affect overall patient survival after one month of treatment.

The purpose of this study is to create a clinical database and bio-repository by obtaining blood, urine, and stool samples (e.g., biological samples) and personal health information from patients to use in future research studies related to alcoholic hepatitis or other diseases.

To conduct a prospective, multicenter, observational study of patients with well-characterized alcoholic hepatitis (AH) and frequency matched individuals (by age, gender, and race) with comparable history of alcohol consumption but no clinical evidence of liver disease (controls). At the end of the study, a robust clinical information, central bio-repository will be developed from both cases and controls.

The purpose of this study is to investigate fixed doses of NNC0194-0499, Cagrilintide, Semaglutide alone and NNC0194-0499 or Cagrilintide in combination with Semalgutide versus placebo on liver damage and function in people with alcohol-related liver disease.

The purpose of this study is to determine if extracellular (EV) counts and content can differentiate Alcoholic Hepatitis (AH) from alcoholic liver disease as well as end stage liver disease due to other causes.

The primary aim of this study is to define a comprehensive digital phenotype that predicts risk for near-future relapse or relapse in alcohol use in patients with alcohol-associated liver disease.

The secondary aim of this study is to assess the relationship between this digital phenotype and markers of disease severity outcome, including MELD score and readmission rates.
