• In February 2025, Hunter Holmes Mcguire Veteran Affairs Medical Center, this will be a single-arm, single-blind sequential trial of IV 25% albumin and IV saline over 8 weeks with biological sampling and cognitive and health related quality of life (HRQOL) testing with each subject acting as their own control.
• In February 2025, Patricia Bloom conducted a research is studying the use of a new drug to learn about its safety and efficacy as a treatment for hepatic encephalopathy. Eligible participants will be enrolled and given oral antibiotics followed by 14 days of the study drug (placebo vs.VE303). There will be visits as well as other procedures to collect blood and stool samples, and have tests of your cognition (thinking) for this research study.

Hepatic Encephalopathy Marketed Drugs

• Xifaxan (Rifaximin/OHE7): Salix Pharmaceuticals/Bausch Health

Xifaxan (rifaximin) tablets (550 mg) are indicated for the reduction in risk of Overt Hepatic Encephalopathy recurrence in patients ≥ 18 years of age. Rifaximin has been granted Orphan Drug designation by the FDA for use in hepatic encephalopathy. In addition, guidelines from the AASLD and EASL recommend rifaximin as an add-on therapy to lactulose to reduce the risk of OHE recurrence.

Hepatic Encephalopathy Emerging Drugs

• Golexanolone: Umecrine Cognition AB

Golexanolone, is a novel small molecule GABAA receptor-modulating steroid antagonist in development for the treatment of neurological disorders caused by overactivation of GABA-A receptors by the neurosteroid allopregnanolone. Golexanolone prevents the harmful effects induced by elevated levels of allopregnanolone in the brain. In contrast to traditional GABA-A antagonists, golexanolone can not completely block the receptor’s function and thereby induce side effects such as seizures and unconsciousness. Golexanolone is currently under development for the treatment of two disorders – Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) and Hepatic Encephalopathy.

Hepatic Encephalopathy Drugs Market Insights

The current Hepatic Encephalopathy therapeutics market landscape is dependent on the use of medications. Common medications which are used in the management of HE in the United States include lactulose and rifaximin. Nutrition may also play a key role in managing HE and preventing a recurrence. The second line, less accepted therapies, include probiotics, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), flumazenil, zinc, and ammonia scavengers. Other agents that are used include oral antibiotics (neomycin, metronidazole, and rifaximin) that can reduce urease-producing bacteria in the intestines, resulting in a decrease in ammonia production and absorption through the gastrointestinal tract. Both neomycin and metronidazole have been used for many years to treat HE and are inexpensive.

Hepatic Encephalopathy Market Outlook

The current Hepatic Encephalopathy treatment involves reducing ammonia levels, which is the central therapeutic strategy. This can be achieved through various interventions, including dietary protein supplementation, purgatives such as nonabsorbable disaccharides and enemas, nonabsorbable antibiotics, modulation of interorgan ammonia using L-ornithine, L-aspartate (LOLA), sodium benzoate, and phenylacetate, and others like flumazenil, bromocriptine, acarbose, probiotics, and emerging therapies like LOLA, sodium benzoate, and acetyl L-carnitine.
