Filter by:An Open-Label Part is added: This part will enroll in selected sites which are less affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. 150 subjects with NASH and fibrosis confirmed by liver histology (F1-F3) will be randomized into 3 groups according to the post-baseline biopsy. The objective of the Open-Label Part is: - To evaluate the safety and PK of twice daily administration (BID) of Aramchol 300mg in subjects with NASH and liver fibrosis. - To explore the kinetics of histological outcome measures and Non-Invasive Tests (NITs) associated with NASH and fibrosis for the treatment duration of 24, 48 and 72 weeks. All patients will be allocated to Aramchol. Double Blind Part: This part is double blind, placebo controlled randomized in subjects with NASH and fibrosis stages 2-3 who are overweight or obese and have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. The primary objectives of this part of the study are to evaluate the effect of Aramchol as compared to placebo on NASH resolution, fibrosis improvement and clinical outcomes related to progression of liver disease. Subjects will be randomized to receive Aramchol 300mg BID or matching placebo in a 2:1 randomization ratio.
To further clarify the role of sequence polymorphism in patatin-like phospholipid domain containing protein 3 in the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
Evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the new ultrasound software vs hepatic histology, the current reference standard for the diagnosis of NAFLD and NASH in 20 obese patients (BMI> 30) candidates for laparoscopic bariatric surgery and / or cholecystectomy
A key element in the diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the differentiation of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) from non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) and the staging of the liver fibrosis, given that patients with NASH and advanced fibrosis are those at greatest risk of developing hepatic complications and cardiovascular disease. There are still no available non-invasive methods that allow for correct diagnosis and staging of NAFLD. The implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques based on artificial neural networks and deep learning systems (Deep Learning System) as a tool for medical diagnoses represents a bona fide technological revolution that introduces an innovative approach to improving health processes.
A two-trial repeated measures design will be employed in this investigation. Both the control trial and the exercise trial will last for 3 months. During a week before the start of the study, participants will complete dietary recalls and record their habitual physical activity using accelerometers. Thereafter, body composition, ultrasound imaging of the muscle and liver, biochemical and hematological markers were measured. This range of measurements will be repeated the ended each month for both trials. Control trial succeeds exercise trial. An exercise intervention program will take place in the second trial, three times a week.
Getting a rough indicator about the prevalence of different grade of severity of NAFLD (NASH & liver fibrosis), and Correlate the severity of fatty liver with different serological risk factors of metabolic syndrome and diseases progression as well as the prevalence of hepatocellular carcinoma related to NAFLD with the use of ; nutritional assessment designed and conducted by the investigators in this research, simple blood test (lipid profile and blood sugar), and easy cheap non-invasive radiological tool as screening to predict NASH.
The aim of the current study is to evaluate the safety and efficay of Montelukast in treatment of patients with fatty liver disease.
Fatty liver has been associated with high risk of progression to inflammation of the liver, liver cirrhosis (hardening of the liver), and eventually can lead to liver cancer. So far, the treatment for this condition involves controlling the cholesterol level in the body by practicing low fat diet and daily exercise. However, recently there has been evidence that alteration of the normal population of various types of bacteria that lives in the intestines may contributes to the development of fatty liver. Probiotics is a dietary supplement containing live bacteria that is formulated to change the composition and population of the bacteria in the intestines. It is postulated that by taking specifically formulated probiotics, the alteration of the intestinal bacteria may lead to improvement of the fatty liver, leading to better daily liver function. In this 6-month study, investigators would like to investigate the effectiveness of the probiotics in improving the liver function and in the treatment of the fatty liver. It will compare the fatty liver of patients who took the probiotics supplements compared to those who did not took it and see if there is any improvement.
This is a randomized, single blind study to determine whether AXA1957, a novel composition of amino acids, is safe and well tolerated. Subjects will be adolescents with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and it will also examine liver biology using blood tests and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
This is a randomized, single blind study to determine whether AXA1125 or AXA1957, novel compositions of amino acids, are safe and well tolerated. Subjects have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the study will also examine liver biology using blood tests and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
