New hope for liver patients: Join us on Wednesday, 7 May 2025, from 14:00-15:00 h for a special event at the EASL Congress in Amsterdam, NL, designed for liver disease patients and relatives. Where: Room D202 (Level 2, Elicium Building). We will start with a warm welcome by ELPA President, Marko Korenjak, including an overview of ELPA’s involvement in A-TANGO and other Europe-wide cirrhosis research projects, learn from scientific coordinator, Prof. Rajiv Jalan (UCL) about a new clinical score, and from clinical trial coordinator, Dr. Cornelius Engelmann (Charité), how the A-TANGO project is working to transform care for those with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). G-TAK is the name of the new treatment option on the horizon. Don't miss the interactive panel discussion at the end about the challenges for drug development in ACLF and ways to improve patient outcomes. The event is organised by the European Liver Patients' Association (ELPA). Please also ask your own questions and grab some “Nutty Give-Aways”!

Join us on Thursday, 8 May 2025, from 17:00-19:00 h at EASL Congress in Amsterdam, NL, for the A-TANGO Investigator & Industry Session. You are cordially invited to participate either in person (Room D202, level 2, Elicium Building) or online (the Zoom Link will be sent via email after registration has been completed). Topic: New solutions to address the unmet need of cirrhosis patients suffering from acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). After a brief welcome by Scientific Coordinator Prof. Rajiv Jalan, a presentation on the need for more personalised treatments for ACLF patients will follow. Dr. Cornelius Engelmann will then speak about how A-TANGO's G-TAK study ties into this. After a short break, an expert panel featuring leading researchers will discuss novel insights on ACLF from the EASL Congress 2025. Attendance is free, but please register here (registration closes two days prior, on 6 May). Catering (food and drinks) will be provided. The event is sponsored by consortium partner Yaqrit.

Let’s talk about inflammation, alcohol-related liver disease, and new treatments in liver cirrhosis! After grabbing your morning coffee at EASL Congress in Amsterdam, NL, come find us at the Cirrhosis & Complications Track Hub to attend our annual A-TANGO Networking Session on Saturday, 10 May 2025, from 09:45-10:15 h. This dynamic 30-minute event will dive into the mechanisms behind alcohol-related hepatitis, how it may differ from infection-driven cases, and what this means regarding future therapies for patients suffering from late-stage cirrhosis or acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). These short networking sessions are a fun and interactive new format organised by EASL. Our session is chaired by scientific coordinator, Prof. Rajiv Jalan (UCL), and features brand-new results from young investigators Dr. Annarein Kerbert (LUMC) and Julian Pohl (Charité). Topics include: What drives ACLF in alcohol-related hepatitis, and how systemic inflammation impacts treatment strategies. Let’s push the boundaries of liver disease research together!
