Filter by: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
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a nosological entity that groups together non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Unlike NAFL, NASH is characterized by intrahepatic inflammation, and is solely at risk of progression to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It is currently estimated that NAFLD affects approximately 25% of the world's adult population, and its incidence is rising in all regions of the world. Nevertheless, of all patients with NAFLD, only ~25% have NASH. Identifying patients with NASH is therefore crucial, determining the need for follow-up to detect the onset of fibrosis and/or HCC, and eventual access to therapeutic trials. Furthermore, intrahepatic inflammation, the initial driver of NASH, appears to play an important role in the development of fibrosis and HCC, which can occur in the absence of cirrhosis in these patients. However, few studies have been carried out in humans to date, with data mainly coming from mouse models. An innovative technique, Fine-Needle Aspiration (FNA), enables to obtain cells from the liver compartment, including large numbers of immune cells. In participants with NAFLD and indication of liver biopsy, a FNA will also be performed. Forty patients will be included, with ~75% of NASH and ~25% of NAFL expected. The investigators will study the phenotypic and functional characteristics of human intrahepatic inflammatory cells obtained by the FNA with different innovative techniques (RNAseq, multiparameter immunophenotyping, single-cell secretome and phosphoproteome). Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells and circulating microRNAs, known to regulate immune responses, will also be analysed. The hypothesis of Profile-NASH is that intrahepatic inflammatory profiles differ between NASH and NAFL, and is associated with fibrosis progression and carcinogenesis. This pilot study, based on high-definition technologies, will provide precise new insights into the quality of intrahepatic inflammation and the mechanisms favoring the transition from NAFL to NASH and its progression. Precise analysis of the intrahepatic inflammatory microenvironment will enable the investigators to identify new players in the pathogenesis of NASH, and potential future therapeutic targets.
AZD9550 is in early development for the treatment of NASH, a type of liver disease that commonly affects overweight and obese patients who have T2DM. The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, and effects of increasing doses of AZD9550 in overweight and obese participants aged 18 through 65 years living with T2DM, and to investigate how AZD9550 is absorbed, distributed, and eliminated from the body.
The primary aim of this randomized cross-over intervention study is to investigate the effect of four weeks of intermittent carbohydrate restriction (alternating between two days of normal dietary intake and two days of carbohydrate restriction to 70-90 grams) on 24-hour average sensor glucose in individuals with type 2 diabetes compared with a four-week control period with normal dietary intake.
Objective of this study is to determine the clinical benefits of trimetazidine in improvement of MAFLD
A randomized, controlled study of standard soy milk consumption compared to 2% fat cow's milk consumption in children with Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). The investigators hypothesize that the daily consumption of soy isoflavones found in the soy milk will be beneficial in reducing NAFLD and other obesity-related comorbidities. The investigators do not expect any adverse endocrine or metabolomic effects from the consumption of soy isoflavones.
