Filter by:This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of escalating single- and multiple-oral doses of IMM-H014 on fasted condition, and characterize PK of IMM-H014 on an empty stomach (fasted condition) and following a high fat, high calorie meal (fed condition) in a 2-period, 2-sequence manner. The study will be conducted in 3 parts (Ascending single dose, multiple dose and food effect). Participants will receive either IMM-H014 or placebo.
This is a multi-center evaluation of efruxifermin (EFX) in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in subjects with non-cirrhotic NASH/MASH and fibrosis stage 2 or 3.
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects 30% of the Asian adult population and is emerging as one of the important leading causes of liver cancer and cirrhosis. Although a number of biomarkersmany have been developed for the assessment of liver fat and fibrosis, most existing studies were cross-sectional in nature. The role of these biomarkers for monitoring and response assessment remains elusive. At present, magnetic resonance imaging proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) is considered the gold standard to in quantifying liver fat. The MRI-PDFF response, defined as a ≥30% relative reduction in liver fat fraction, has been shown to correlate with improved hepatic inflammation and fibrosis. However, MRI is limited by cost and availability. The cContinuous controlled attenuation parameter (CAPc) measurement by vibration controlled transient elastography is a new technology to quantify liver fat. It is a point-of-care test and has the potential to replace the MRI-PDFF as a monitoring and response biomarker in routine practice. Study plan: This prospective cohort study will include 150 patients with NAFLD who will join a 6-month lifestyle modification programme involving dietary intervention and physical training. This will create a cohort of varying degrees of liver fat reduction. Using MRI-PDFF as the reference standard, we will evaluate the accuracy of a changes in CAPc in reflecting the MRI-PDFF response and remission of NAFLD, with all non-invasive tests performed at screening and Month 6. In addition, we will test the hypothesis that the the change in CAPc is superior to the change of in other steatosis tests results (including the original CAP, abdominal ultrasonography and steatosis scores of fatty liver index, hepatic steatosis index, NAFLD liver fat score and NAFLD ridge score) in predicting the MRI-PDFF response. The area under the receiver-operating characteristics curve of the CAPc response in predicting the MRI-PDFF response will be compared with that of the other steatosis tests using the DeLong test.
This study will be a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility, safety and acceptability of Exercise and Liver FITness (EL-FIT), a mHealth exercise training program previously validated in patients with cirrhosis in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.
non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is an inflammatory liver disease caused by the accumulation of fat in liver cells. With the change of living habits and diet, the incidence of Nash continues to increase. In the early stage, NASH generally has no obvious symptoms. With the progression of the disease and the aggravation of liver damage, it may induce fatigue, loss of body mass, and pain in the right upper abdomen, which seriously affects the health of patients. There are no specific drugs to treat NASH in clinical practice. Increasing exercise, taking drugs to avoid liver damage, controlling diet and other methods can alleviate clinical symptoms to a certain extent, but the stability of disease control is poor, and it is easy to develop into cirrhosis, threatening the life safety of patients. However, there are few clinical reports on the effect of drugs on NASH. In the previous treatment of patients with liver fibrosis, our research group found that non-alcoholic steatohepatitis NASH induced liver fibrosis has a good effect, suggesting that Langqingata may improve NASH. Based on this, this study observed the total effective rate of Lang Qingata in the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatic NASH.
The study will investigate the influence of NNC0194-0499 on the blood levels of the two components of a birth control pill, Microgynon®. Participants will get the birth control pill in form of tablets in two periods of 8 days each. Participants will get NNC0194-0499 as injection under the skin of their thigh. The injections will be given once weekly for 5 weeks. The study will last for about 11 to 15 weeks, depending on the length of the screening period. Participants will have to stay overnight at the study centre (2 nights and 4 nights, respectively) Only healthy women who are not able to bear children can take part in this study.
The recent development of dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) technology for hyperpolarized (HP) 13C imaging offers a promising new avenue for non-invasively accessing fundamental metabolic changes associated with the progression of fatty liver disease in vivo. The purpose of this pilot study is to optimize sequence parameters for hyperpolarized 13C acquisition in the human liver and determine which metabolic changes can be seen in humans with simple, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) when compared to healthy volunteers.
A double-blind placebo controlled, randomized, Phase 2b study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of once-daily, oral administration of 80 or 160 mg HSK31679 versus matching placebo in Patients With Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) and Fibrosis.
The aim of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of EFX compared to placebo in subjects with non-invasively diagnosed NASH/MASH and NAFLD/MASLD.
Fatty liver disease is a global health concern with a prevalence of about 25% amongst United States. Its increased prevalence is attributed to increase in patients with obesity and metabolic syndrome (1). Diabetes mellitus (DM),obesity, hyperinsulinemia are predisposing factors for fatty liver disease(2). Glomerulonephritis (GN), a complex syndrome encompassing a variety of individual disorders, is associated with significant morbidity and mortality(3). Given its association with hyperlipidaemia, metabolic syndrome and long-term use of steroid there is concern that patients with GN may be at increased risk of fatty liver disease Patients with NS are frequently found to have fatty liver disease even when adjusting for common risk factors(1). It is known that obesity is an independent risk factor for CKD and it is associated with the development of proteinuria and pathologic findings of podocyte hypertrophy and focal segmental glomerular sclerosis even in the absence of diabetes and hypertension . In addition, studies have shown that obesity as well as metabolic syndrome is a strong predictor of the development of fatty liver disease (4) . Hence, clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion regarding presence of NAFLD in patients with NS
