Filter by:The purpose of this study is to test the safety of BMN 255 and to learn about the effect BMN 255 has on you and your hyperoxaluria associated with NAFLD, and compare these effects with a placebo. The primary safety objective of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of daily oral doses of BMN 255 in adult participants with NAFLD and hyperoxaluria. The primary efficacy objective of the study is to assess 24-hour urine oxalate levels (24-hour urine collection corrected for BSA) following daily oral doses of BMN 255 in adult participants with NAFLD and hyperoxaluria.
The purpose of this research study is to find out about the usefulness of mindfulness for weight loss and improvement of physical and mental health in people who have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
This is a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study in adults with biopsy confirmed NASH. The study is aimed at evaluating efficacy and tolerability of ASC41 in adults with NASH.
The prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD ) in the American population is approximately 30% in adults and 10% in children, making it the most common. Cause of chronic liver disease in the United States. Although the majority of patients with NAFLD have a benign clinical course, the development of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH ), with necro-inflammation and progressive fibrosis, increases the risk for development of cirrhosis and its complications. Among patients with NASH, approximately 28% develop cirrhosis over an 8-year follow-up period. NASH and advanced fibrosis is associated with increased morbidity and mortality among those patients with advanced histologic severity such as NASH and fibrosis the gold standard for diagnosing and staging NAFLD is liver biopsy. Liver biopsy is associated with costs and risks that make it impractical for generalized use in a condition that affects such a high portion of the population. Furthermore, liver biopsy is also limited by significant sampling error in NAFLD. Thus, there is a pressing need for accurate non-invasive predictors of NAFLD that would also allow differentiation of those subjects at higher risk of disease progression. At present, in the clinical setting, some demographic factors, blood tests, and imaging studies can be used to predict a higher risk of disease in patients being evaluated for NAFLD. These predictors, however, are of limited sensitivity and specificity compared with liver biopsy. The development and validation of accurate predictors and scoring systems to identify patients at higher risk for NASH and fibrosis would allow identification of subjects who would benefit the most from liver biopsy and potentially help monitor disease
This study is a randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled, phase Ib trial in subjects with suspected or confirmed non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and liver fibrosis
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of an investigational drug, PF-05221304 (PF'1304) on the way the liver handles fat. The planned study will identify why the fat in the blood increases at the same time this drug reduces fat in the liver. The study will have two treatment periods of 6 weeks each, separated by a 3 week rest period with no treatment. The subjects will receive the active drug in one of the 6 week treatment periods and a placebo in the other 6 week period. The investigators will know when the subjects are receiving active treatment or placebo, but the subject will not know.
Potential subjects with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) will be identified by gastroenterologists (study investigators). Twelve eligible subjects with NAFLD will be randomly assigned to receive either active fecal microbiota transplantation in orally administered capsules or Placebo capsules and dosed twice weekly for 12 weeks. .
The purpose of this study is to assess if digoxin is safe and efficacious in treating patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) within the approved target range of 0.7 to 1 ng/ml.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), one of the most frequent respiratory diseases, could represent a major worsening factor in a non alcoholic steatohepatitis and neoplastic context. Our hypothesis is that OSA promotes the prevalence of HCC related to NASH. This national, multicenter study aims to compare the prevalence of OSA in a group of patient curatively resected for NASH-related HCC with a group of HCV-related HCC.
This is a single-center, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel treatment groups phase 2a study of curcumin for pediatric nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
