Filter by:SGLT2 antagonists and GLP1 agonists are used since a relatively short period as second line therapy if indicated and are well tolerated by patients featuring low risk of hypoglycaemia in comparison to insulin or other oral glucose lowering drug. This new treatment options offer an effective modality to lower blood glucose, if first line therapeutics fail. According to national and international guidelines combination of oral glucose lowering drugs is possible in multiple ways, but is currently not recommended for GLP1 agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors yet, as evidence and supporting studies are missing proving efficacy and safety]. Thus studies under standardized conditions are urgently needed to answer these unsolved questions. First results of a combination of a SGLT2 Inhibitor and a GLP1 agonist demonstrated huge potential regarding glucose and weight reduction and safety issues. However, further studies are necessary to elucidate potential mechanisms of combination therapy with SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP1 agonists and its effect on weight loss, glucose control, effects on incretins and adipokines, as well as further effects on ectopic lipid accumulation in liver and other tissues as myocard or pancreas in humans. As both monotherapies have effects on weight and metabolism, changes in abdominal, subcutaneous, hepatic, myocardial or pancreatic lipid content might be speculated and are focus of interest in this study. Recently GLP1 agonists were shown to have effects on hepatic lipid reduction in humans with diabetes. Hepatic lipid content and steatosis hepatis are widely discussed to have major effects on progression of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Thus reduction of lipid accumulation in hepatic tissue might have an effect on diabetes progression. Also higher myocardial lipid accumulation is seen in diabetic patients probably partly responsible for higher cardiovascular risk in diabetics. So far results combining these two drug classes show less weight loss as might have been expected using monotherapy, so that further investigation will definitely shed light on combination of therapeutic concepts. Facing a multiple of positive side effects (weight loss, blood pressure lowering, potential protective cardiac effects) using a combination of SGLT2 and GLP1 seems to be a promising therapeutic option in diabetic subjects.
(1) Due to missed childhood vaccination programs, the majority of adult patients with NAFLD in Canada do not have immunity to hepatitis B. (2) Adults with NAFLD who receive the HBV vaccine have reduced immunogenic responses in the setting of obesity (i.e., protective anti-HBs titres). Aims: (1) To determine the sero-prevalence of immunity against hepatitis B in a cohort of prospectively evaluated adult NAFLD patients. (2) To prospectively determine HBV vaccine responses (anti-HBs titres) in adult NAFLD patients.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects and safety of a dietary supplement, Zataria multiflora Boiss (Shirazi's Thyme) in the treatment of non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of a single dose of PF-06835919 in healthy adult subjects.
The purpose of this study is the evaluation of the effects in obese patients with metabolic syndrome on the composition of the intestinal microbiota, markers of the syndrome (hypertension, dyslipidemia, inflammation biomarkers, risk cardiovascular and hepatic steatosis) and other possible metabolites involved.
Investigation of efficacy and safety of three dose levels of subcutaneous semaglutide once daily versus placebo in subjects with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis
VENS is a multicenter, randomized, double-masked, placebo parallel controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment with vitamin E softgel in non diabetic adults with NASH compared to treatment with placebo in China.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving subjects with NASH cirrhosis and severe portal hypertension (defined as HVPG ≥12 mmHg as determined by the central reader assigned to this study). Upon successful screening, subjects will be randomized to receive either emricasan 50 mg BID, 25 mg BID, or 5 mg BID or matching placebo BID.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated to obesity, metabolic syndrome and genetic predisposition: specific variants of the genes PNPLA3 and TM6SF2 are the most involved. Also biochemical mechanisms that affect the "metabolic flexibility" need to be better clarified. It is known that a dietary intervention, accompanied by a physical personalized training, reduce either the hepatic fat content either insulin resistance. Therefore, the aim of the study is to evaluate "metabolic flexibility" in obese NAFLD subjects taking in account the presence or absence of PNPLA3 and TM6SF2 polymorphism and the histopathological diagnosis of either simple steatosis or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The composition of gut microbiota will be also evaluated. Finally, two distinct healthy dietary profiles accompanied by a personalized physical training, will be tested to comprehend whether and how "healthy diets" could operate in the clinical treatment of NAFLD and related conditions.
The purpose of this is to analyse human exhaled breath by means of a device called electronic nose(eNose) in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) as a way to non-invasive assessment of liver disease.This device is medically adapted and clinically validated in patients with lung conditions.
