Filter by:The purpose of this study is to measure improvements in liver fibrosis and inflammation with GSK4532990 compared with placebo in participants with NASH and advanced fibrosis on biopsy (F3 or F4). The study duration will be up to 76 weeks including the screening period. The treatment duration will be up to 52 weeks.
This study aims at evaluating and comparing the protective outcomes of using Febuxostat versus Vitamin E in Hyperuricemia non-alcoholic steatohepatitis patients without cirrhosis. The intervention is 6-months duration and the study will assess the efficacy of either drug as fibrosis improvement (≥ 1 stage) with no worsening of NASH or NASH resolution with no worsening of fibrosis with the study considered successful if either 1ry end point is met. Also, assessment of biochemical markers related to steatosis, inflammation, oxidative stress, insulin resistance and liver fibrosis will be done.
The purpose of this study was to use machine learning to explore a more precise classification of NAFLD subgroups towards informing individualized therapy.
Given the current increase in the incidence of dyslipidemia and obesity in the general population, there is a strong interest in identifying dietary factors capable of preventing the onset of metabolic diseases or at least capable of reducing metabolic risk. Several experimental evidences have shown that improving the carbohydrate and lipid profile in subjects at risk can reduce mortality linked to cardiovascular, neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. The diet is, therefore, an effective prevention tool in combating diseases related to metabolism, such as MAFLD (Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease). In particular, fruit with its high content of polyphenols has been shown to exert a high anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic and antiproliferative action. Polyphenols extracted from oranges of the "Tacle" variety have demonstrated in vitro an inhibitory action of cholesterol synthesis. In addition, the consumption of orange juice has been shown to improve the serum lipid profile of obese subjects, as well as "hesperedine", a flavonoid mainly present in oranges is able to reduce the proliferative activity of MCF-7 (human breast cancer cell line with estrogen, progesterone and glucocorticoid receptors) cells.
The investigators seek to analyze the samples provided by patients with obesity-associated fatty liver disease at the multi-omics level and to integrate the results with clinical information, genotypic variants, and factors influencing inter-organ crosstalk. The main aim is to improve the interpretation of fatty liver disease associated with obesity and diabetes by developing predictive models built with algorithms from artificial intelligence. The challenge is to decipher the flow of information by exploring contributing factors, proximate causes of regulatory defects, and maladaptive responses that may promote therapeutic approaches.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of miricorilant following a single oral dose by comparing participants with normal hepatic function with participants with moderate hepatic impairment with or without nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
This is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose and multiple ascending dose study of ECC4703 in healthy volunteers and participants with treatment unnecessary LDL-C under 160 mg/dL
Metabolic associated fatty liver disease(MEFLD) is a major chronic liver disease that can lead to various adverse events, such as liver cancer, cardiovascular disease, and chronic kidney disease. The present community-based cohort study enrolls subjects who take health physical examinations at the sub-center outpatient department, Beijing Friendship Hospital. Investigators collect their baseline information, including demographic data, clinical history, physical examination, laboratory results, imageological examination, and so on. Follow-up surveys are conducted annually and the information collected is the same as the baseline. The outcome information, including cardiovascular disease, malignancy, liver cirrhosis, liver decompensation, liver transplantation, and all-cause mortality, are obtained by linking to the hospital discharge database and death registration system of Beijing. The primary aim of the study is to build a risk-stratified evaluation system for MAFLD through the cohort.
Obesity has been increasing all over the world. This has lead to a significant increase of a liver disease in children called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD is a liver disease that ranges from excess fat being stored in the liver to an inflamed and fatty liver with fibrosis to cirrhosis. NAFLD is thought to be caused by changes in energy, fat and carbohydrate metabolism induced by diets high in in processed foods. Sugary (especially high fructose corn syrup or HFCS) and fatty foods in processed foods have been shown to produce more insulin resistance, a factor that is thought to cause a fatty liver. Currently the main treatment for NAFLD is weight loss. However, it unknown the best way to achieve this. The investigator has shown previously that adolescents with NAFLD eat a lot of fatty and sugary foods, and that when they decrease the amount of foods they eat that contain HFCS, experience some improvements in insulin resistance and liver dysfunction even when they don't lose weight. The plan is to compare and contrast how two different diets (high vs low HFCS containing diets) may affect how much fat gets deposited in the liver and whether or not a lower diet in HFCS can help decrease liver damage in adolescents with NAFLD.
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the aggressive form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, which is rapidly becoming a worldwide public health problem. It is more common in the military and Veteran population compared to the general US population. NASH may progress to end-stage liver disease and primary liver cancer, and hence there is critical need for effective treatment. The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether low dose thyroid hormone administered to Veterans diagnosed with NASH can be an effective therapy mediated by improvement in breaking down fat in the mitochondria. The study will be conducted in two stages, the first stage is for proof of concept to be followed by interim analysis. If the interim analysis supports the merit for continuing the study, the clinical trial will proceed to stage 2 for continuation. This study will provide new information and strategies for treatment of NASH using low dose thyroid hormone that will be highly relevant and impactful to the health of the Veteran population.
