The study investigators' aim is to determine the long term safety and efficacy of Metreleptin (Myalept,) in promoting amelioration of metabolic abnormalities in patients with all forms of partial lipodystrophy. Patients will be offered this protocol under the following condition: Subjects have completed University of Michigan research protocol MB002-014 and have shown improved clinical benefit as judged by clinical criteria set forth in this protocol.
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating single- and multiple-oral doses of cilofexor, and characterize the single- and multiple-dose pharmacokinetics (PK) of cilofexor. The study will be conducted in 3 parts (Part A, Part B, and Part C). Participants will receive either cilofexor or cilofexor placebo. Part A will proceed in 4 prespecified staggered cohorts. Within each cohort, the cumulative, blinded safety data will be evaluated for dose escalation from single-dose (Period 1) to multiple-dose (Period 2). Based on the available safety, pharmacokinetics, and/or pharmacodynamics (PD) data from cohorts in Part A and Part C (if applicable), total daily doses and frequency of dosing will be chosen for the cohorts in Part B. Parts B and C will consist of adaptive cohorts and may be initiated in parallel. Part B cohorts may be initiated in parallel with cohorts in Part A if the total dose under evaluation is at or below a dose already evaluated. This study is partially blinded (no one is blinded on Day -1).
This is an open, pilot study using the oral ORMD-0801 insulin formulation in patients with NASH and confirmed type 2 DM or pre-diabetes. The study will consist of a Screening, placebo run-in, treatment phase and end-of-study phase.
"The goal of this work is to critically test the hypothesis that there exists a different profile of bile acids (BAs) in patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) compared with normal controls. Through confirmation of different profile of BAs in T2DM, investigator will suggest modulation of specific bile acids as a new possible treatment target in patients with T2DM. Investigator also expect the specific BAs signature will be used to screen T2DM before hyperglycemia. In addition, investigator will evaluate the association between each BA species and serum total glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) or fibroblast growth factor-19 (FGF-19) concentrations to determine if the specific BAs profile is related with total GLP-1 or FGF-19 concentration in serum. Investigatr also evaluates the correlation between each BA species and metabolic profiles and oxidative stress marker to find possible roles of each BA component in glucose metabolism.
The clinicopathological analyses revealed that reduction in HbA1c and use of insulin independently contribute to the reduction in liver fibrosis scores during the histological course of NAFLD development. These findings led us to hypothesize that glycemic control and insulin ameliorate or protect against the histological progression of liver fibrosis in patients with NAFLD. In the present study, we investigated the efficacy of SGLT2 inhibitor tofogliflozin and sulfonylurea glimepiride, which lower glucose levels similarly with reduction and elevation in circulating insulin levels, respectively, in NAFLD patients with type 2 diabetes for 48 weeks by examining liver histology, as well as hepatic enzymes, metabolic markers, and hepatic gene expression profiles.
Patients with NAFLD and matched controls will be asked about their demographic status, and their previous year dietary intakes using a validated FFQ.
The purpose of this present study is to evaluating whether prebiotics - ITF (Inulin/OFS 75/25) is effective in treating patients with non-alcoholic liver disease.
The effects of empagliflozin treatment on hepatocellular lipid content, liver energy metabolism and body composition will be investigated in a multicentre, prospective, placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized, 2-arm parallel, interventional and exploratory pilot study in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes.
This Phase 2, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter study, with an open-label long-term safety extension (LTSE), will evaluate the effect of Obeticholic Acid, and the subsequent addition of statin therapy, on lipoprotein metabolism in subjects with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with fibrosis stage 1 to 4, but no evidence of hepatic decompensation.
