Brief summary
This is an open , multicenter, interventional clinical trial to conform the role of of miR-122 a real-time detection biomarker of drug-induced liver injury by chemotherapy.
Detailed description
The endorsed standard serum biomarkers, like ALT, AST, total bilirubin, are not tissue-specific, and cannot detect drug-induced liver injury (DILI) at a very early stage, thus unable to properly guide risk assessment and patient management. miR-122 is a liver-enriched miRNA. Many studies have demonstrated that miR-122 is a sensitive and specific biomarker when DILI occurred. However, there is a lack of a standard quantification method for miR-122 and confirmatory studies using a comprehensive list of drugs and patients. The investigators have developed the miRNA-derived Fragment Length Polymorphism (miRFLP) assay for the simultaneous quantification of multiple miRNAs.The methodology improves detection reliability by eliminating intra-assay variables. In this study, the investigators will investigate the role of miR-122 as a real-time detection biomarker of drug-induced liver injury utilizing the miRFLP assay. In addition, the investigators will try to identify the normal physiological range of miR-122 in healthy population and the relationship of miR-122 and hepatic failure in patients of intensive care unit.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Relationship of serum miR-122 level and DILI or hepatic failure | 1 year | Serum miR-122 level (copies/uL) and liver function (such as ALT, AST, ALP, and bilirubin levels) will be tested before and after each cycle of chemotherapy, and the relationship of serum miR-122 level fluctuation and liver injury will be investigated. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Normal physiological range of miR-122 in healthy population | 1 years | To determine a primary normal physiological range of serum miR-122 level (copies/uL) in a group of 20 healthy women and/or men. |
