Filter by:The goal of this pilot experimental medicine interventional study is to explore the degree of transferability of the gut microbiome and associated metabolomic changes in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and fibrosis who receive faecal microbiota transplant (FMT). The main questions is aims to answer is: - To what extent is the gut microbiome transferable from donor to recipient in patients with NAFLD with fibrosis who receive FMT? - What are the dynamics of how the gut microbiome changes over time in these patients? - To what degree does the recipient metabolome change in association with this? Participants will receive up to three capsulised FMT preparations prepared from a donor selected rationally based upon their metabolomic characteristics. They will be asked to attend for serial clinical assessments (including FibroScan and MRE/ MRI-PDFF), and will also be asked to provide serial blood, urine and stool samples for assessment of microbiome and metabolome profiling.
This study is researching an experimental drug called ALN-PNP. This study is focused on participants who are known to have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and a specific variant of the patatin-like phospholipase domain containing 3 (PNPLA3) gene. The aim of this study is to see how safe, tolerable, and effective the study drug is. This study is looking at several other research questions, including: - What side effects may happen from taking the study drug - How the study drug works to change liver fat content in NAFLD - How much study drug and study drug metabolites (byproduct of the body breaking down the study drug) are in your blood at different times - Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects) - Better understanding of the study drug and NAFLD
The impact of the complex liver immunological network on sepsis outcome is largely unknown. Steatotic liver disease (SLD) is the most common chronic liver disease with prevalence of 25% in European countries. The question remains whether patients with SLD are more prone to bacterial infections and what is the impact of persistent liver inflammation to the systemic response to infection, sepsis course and outcomes. Semaphorins are a large family of secreted and membrane-bound biological response modifiers present in many organ systems that are associated with SLD and development of fibrosis, but also might regulate systemic immune responses in sepsis. This study will investigate the association of semaphorins with sepsis outcomes in patients with SLD.
This observational study aims to learn about the correlation between the improving comorbidities associated with obesity after MGB (Mini-Gastric Bypass) surgery and changes in body composition in morbidly obese patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: To study the correlation between the improving comorbidities associated with obesity after MGB(Mini-Gastric Bypass) surgery and changes in body composition. Other objectives are: - Changes in the parameters of the metabolic syndrome after surgery - Changes in the cardiovascular risk biomarkers after metabolic surgery - Emergence in complications arising out of surgery requiring any intervention or causing a prolonged hospital stay, or requiring additional outpatient visits. Type of Study: An observational study in which participants with morbid obesity will undergo mini-gastric bypass surgery as per routine protocol. No separate experimental interventions will be done in the study for the participants.
Aims of the study: 1. To deliver a scalable wellbeing programme to the local population of Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, focusing on movement. 2. To describe the natural history of long-term conditions using digital data from a smartwatch. 3. To identify digital information that is routinely collected by a smart watch that can be used to predict outcomes in patients with long term conditions. 4. To identify factors that determine whether participants engage with and improve in a movement programme. Adult patients who are registered to the Imperial NHS Care Information Exchange (CIE), an NHS patient-facing electronic health record, are eligible to participate in the study. Participants will receive a smart watch for self-monitoring of their movement and wellbeing and be asked to wear the device as much as possible. They will be asked to download a smartphone application called Connected Life, which displays movement and information on heart rate, breathing and oxygen levels to both the participant and the research team (digital data). Participants will receive secure login details for the Connected Life application from the research team, to ensure data privacy. The research team will look at participants' health records, and attempt to identify associations between the digital data and clinical information. This will allow the research team to identify digital data that predicts the onset and natural history of long term conditions, which may potentially allow for earlier diagnosis for future patients. The primary outcome of the study is the identification of trends in movement based on step-count data recorded by the smartwatch.
The goal of this observational study is to detect the prevalence of NAFLD in CKD patients The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - [question 1] prevalence of NAFLD in CKD patients. - [question 2] the relationship between NAFLD and CKD.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of LY3885125 after administration of single ascending doses in participants with dyslipidemia (part A) and multiple doses in participants with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (part B). Blood tests will be performed to check how much LY3885125 gets into the bloodstream and how long it takes the body to eliminate it. The study will last up to approximately 49 weeks for part A and 62 weeks for part B, for a total of approximately 111 weeks.
Conduct a community intervention study that will 1) validate a screening approach to identify patients at risk for advanced NAFLD in the obese or T2DM population, and 2) test whether semaglutide treatment is effective for the management of significant fibrosis due to NAFLD in high-risk patients.
The study is to assess frequency of NASH in Psoriatic patient and to measure the level of proinflammatory cytokines including TNFα, interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-17 and anti-inflammatory cytokines including IL10, IL35 by ELISA.
Purpose of this study is to assess the effects of pemvidutide on NASH resolution and NASH fibrosis.
