ABSTRACT

There are no evidence-based treatments for DILI; rarity of the condition and heterogeneity of the manifestations prevents the conception and successful completion of clinical trials. Multi-centre Pro-Euro-DILI registry will provide both the infra-structure to conduct clinical trials, and also sufficient number of well characterised patients to evaluate the efficacy of novel anti-cholestatic agents in the resolution of DILI.Aims:

  • To set-up a multi-national registry of patients with idiosyncratic DILI enrolled prospectively with in-depth phenotyping including details of drug dose, duration, concomitant medications, host demography, comorbidity including insulin sensitivity (homeostatic model assessment; HOMA), as well as course of the reaction.
  • To enrol similarly well-characterised control group of people who are exposed to medications matched for those implicated in DILI.
  • To collect biological samples (blood, urine, stool and liver biopsy) from patients with idiosyncratic DILI through the course (at onset and follow-up) of the event as well as controls.
