Filter by:Several diets have been proposed to reduce liver steatosis in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and various effects on liver steatosis have been observed. The objective of this trial is to compare the effects of intermittent calorie restriction (ICR) (5:2 diet) and standard-of-care (SoC) on reduction of hepatic steatosis.
This study is a prospective, observational, single-center, short-term cross-sectional study to assess the repeatability and reproducibility of a set of specified MRI quantitative biomarkers.
NIMBLE is a comprehensive collaborative effort to standardize, compare, validate, and advance the regulatory qualification of imaging and circulating biomarkers to diagnose and stage nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and to predict and assess response to therapeutic intervention (https://fnih.org/what-we-do/biomarkers-consortium/programs/nimble). This study focuses on estimating the repeatability and reproducibility of ultrasound elastography-based biomarkers across a range of fibrosis stages.
The objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of once-daily oral doses of 10 mg elobixibat in combination with 9g cholestyramine powder (cholestyramine 4g) in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), defined by fatty infiltration of the liver in the absence of excess alcohol consumption, affects an estimated 30% of adults in the United States. A proportion of people with NAFLD will develop progressive, inflammatory nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which can progress to liver cirrhosis and liver failure. NAFLD is expected to be the most common indication for liver transplantation by the year 2020. We hypothesize that among adults with NAFLD, aspirin will reduce intrahepatic lipid content, as quantified by 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS).
Non-invasive diagnosis and treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) remain unmet medical needs. Aim of this study is to investigate the blood levels of three hormonal systems related to obesity, insulin resistance and inflammation in patients with different stages of NAFLD, in order to identify potential diagnostic markers. Study aim: To compare the blood levels of: a) proglucagon-derived hormones (glucagon-like peptide [GLP]-1, GLP-2, glicentin, oxyntomodulin, glucagon, major proglucagon fragment [MPGF]), b) follistatins-activins (follistatin-like (FSTL)3, activin B), c) IGF axis (insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1, total and intact IGF binding protein (IGFBP)-3 and IGFBP-4, in 18 individuals with early stage NAFLD vs. 14 controls To explore the levels of GDF-15, total and intact, in NAFLD versus obese controls (OC) at baseline and during oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs)
This study will assess the pharmacokinetics of PXL770 after 4 weeks of treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients with stage 1-3 NASH-related fibrosis are able to complete a single vigorous-intensity interval training (VIIT) session on an indoor rowing machine and provide blood samples before and afterwards. The results of this study will provide the foundation for future research on the role of VIIT in treating NASH.
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of 3 doses of PXL770 versus placebo after 12 weeks of treatment.
The study will investigate whether the level of fat stored in the liver is related to the liver's ability to burn fat.
