About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Cellular Immune Response in Patients With Anti-SLA/LP- or Anti-LKM-Positive Autoimmune Hepatitis

The purpose of the study is to determine the role special antibodies play in possibly identifying Autoimmune Hepatitis through the following:

Identify the response of specific T cells to antibodies and Monitor the response of the cells that regulate the immune system

Read the detailed description

The object of this protocol is to characterize and monitor auto antigen-specific T cell responses in blood and liver biopsies of patients with anti-SLA/LP or anti-LKM-positive autoimmune hepatitis. The results will provide insight into the pathogenesis of autoimmune hepatitis and the monitoring of auto antigen-specific T cell reactivity in correlation to disease exacerbation and therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatitis, Autoimmune, run by University of Rochester.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jul 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Principal Investigator moving out of state, no other staff to lead research.). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Jul 2008.
