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.
Some studies have shown beneficial results with probiotics on hepatic function of subjects with fatty liver, but significant variability has been noted among probiotic formulations. This study aims at providing a comprehensive characterization of the effect of a particular probiotic formula in hepatic function of said subjects.
It is an observational study in patients with chronic noncommunicable diseases (i.e. cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma ) and control group with no signs of these conditions. The study has a prospective part planned for 2021 and a retrospective part which includes the patients enrolled between 2018-2020. The aim of the study is to investigate gut microbiota composition, its metabolites, levels of inflammatory and other markers of the disease in prospective groups (arterial hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and control patients) as well as in retrospective groups (chronic heart failure with preserved and reduced ejection fraction, obstructive atherosclerosis of any vascular bed, arterial hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and control patients). Also we are planning to investigate the association between gut microbiota composition and its metabolites, levels of inflammatory and other markers of the disease in retrospective and prospective groups.
To evaluate the safety, tolerability and Pharmacokinetic profile of SNP-630 when oral administered to healthy subjects.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving subjects with NASH cirrhosis and severe portal hypertension (defined as HVPG [hepatic venous pressure gradient] ≥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 (Bis in die, twice daily), 25 mg BID, or 5 mg BID or matching placebo BID.
This clinical study will involve performing a series of medical imaging procedures of the abdomen using both ultrasound and MRI modalities in subjects at risk for or already diagnosed with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). The primary objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the clinical feasibility of an investigational ultrasound technique for quantifying liver fat by comparing specific ultrasound-derived biomarkers with the liver fat percentage obtained from MRI Proton Density Fat Fraction (MRI-PDFF) measurements. All subjects enrolled in this study will undergo one investigational abdominal ultrasound examination using the Philips EPIQ Ultrasound System and one MRI PDFF examination according to the clinical standard of care.
Early screening and monitoring of chronic liver diseases in hepatology practice has become crucial. To achieve this goal, hepatology clinics need simple and available tools at the point-of-care to perform disease severity assessment. The objective of this study is to assess the performance of a new non-invasive ultrasound-based system for the assessment of liver fibrosis and steatosis severity, via ultrasound biomarkers such as tissue stiffness (correlated to fibrosis severity) and ultrasound tissue attenuation (correlated to steatosis extent).
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. This disease reportedly affects up to 30% of the general population in Western countries, especially in patients with metabolic syndrome, obesity, and type II diabetes. NAFLD is considered to be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and there is accumulating evidence to support a causative role in the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). So, we aim first to assess the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in NAFLD patients, secondly to detect the association between hepatic fibrosis and CKD in NAFLD patients
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate MET642 in NASH patients.
