Filter by:This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of escalating single- and multiple-oral doses of ZSP1601 on fasted condition, and characterize PK of ZSP1601 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 ZSP1601 or placebo .
Nowadays, the morbidity of Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) show ascending trend year by year, which has become an important public health problem in China. As NAFLD can progress to Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), cirrhosis and Hepatocarcinoma, the identification and quantitative evaluation of liver steatosis and its dynamic changes are crucial. While liver biopsy is still the gold standard in the diagnosis of NAFLD, its application is limited because of the invasive procedure.The Transient Elastography(TE) combined with the Controlled Attenuation Parameter(CAP) is a new non-invasive diagnostic method for fatty liver and liver fibrosis. In order to evaluate the diagnostic value of non-invasive assessment for the degree of liver steatosis and staging liver fibrosis, this non-invasive method will be assessed by the golden standard of liver biopsy among 400 NAFLD patients.The treatment protocols will be decided by doctor and patient both (treatment protocols and medicine are not required). Blood routine, blood biochemistry, abdominal ultrasound and Transient Elastography(TE) combined with the Controlled Attenuation Parameter(CAP) are detected during the follow-up.
To study the effects of Hesperidin and flaxseed supplement on lipid profile, liver enzymes, inflammatory factors and hepatic fibrosis in patients with Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), 50 patients who referred to Gastrointestinal (GI) clinic with steatosis grade 2 and 3 will be randomly allocated to contol group or 2 capsules Hesperidin and 30 gram flaxseed for 12 weeks; both groups will be advised to adherence the investigators' diet and exercise program too. At the first and the end of the intervention, lipid profiles, liver enzymes, some inflammatory markers, and liver fibrosis will be assessed and compared between groups.
To study the effects of Hesperidin supplement on lipid profile, liver enzymes, inflammatory factors and hepatic fibrosis in patients with Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), 50 patients who referred to Gastrointestinal (GI) clinic with steatosis grade 2 and 3 will be randomly allocated to receive placebos or 2 capsules Hesperidin for 12 weeks; both groups will be advised to adherence the investigators' diet and exercise program too. At the first and the end of the intervention, lipid profiles, liver enzymes, some inflammatory markers, and liver fibrosis will be assessed and compared between groups.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is common in individuals with obesity and is a significant threat to public health, because it can lead to impaired liver function and liver failure. Growth hormone is a hormone produced in the pituitary gland that helps regulate metabolism and growth. Individuals with obesity, on average, secrete less growth hormone than individuals without obesity. There are data to suggest that growth hormone may help to reduce the amount of fat in the liver, and may also reduce inflammation in the liver, both of which would be helpful to individuals with NAFLD. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether treatment with a drug called tesamorelin, which is a growth hormone releasing hormone analogue, will decrease liver fat and improve liver inflammation and scarring in obese individuals with NAFLD.
This is a randomised clinical trial which aims to evaluate the efficacy of Compound Zhenzhu Tiaozhi capsules in the treatment of NAFLD and analyze the relationship between improvement in NAFLD parameters and changes in intestinal functions.
1. To evaluate feasibility of using multiparametric Magnetic resonance(MR) imaging to predict nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH) 2. To develop non-invasive diagnosis tool using multiparametric Magnetic resonance(MR) imaging for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH)
This study will provide data on the switch from a protease inhibitor or efavirenz to the new formulation of raltegravir (RAL) dosed once daily. The study group consists of patients with metabolic risk factors and co-morbidities, in need of optimization of their current ART to minimize the drug-related metabolic side effects as standard of care. The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether switching a protease inhibitor (PI) or efavirenz to raltegravir once daily reduces liver fat in patients who are overweight or obese and have at least one metabolic syndrome component. For this purpose, the liver fat content will be analyzed using the proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. In addition, the aim is to clarify the change in the body composition and metabolism in this study group. For this purpose the visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) volumes will be measured and subcutaneous tissue samples will be collected for future analyses of adipose tissue function.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are frequently encountered in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS). Several data suggest that OSA per se could be a risk factor of liver injury. Most previous studies evaluating the association between OSA severity and the severity of NAFLD used indirect markers of NAFLD including liver imaging or liver injury blood markers or have been performed in morbidly obese patients undergoing intraoperative needle liver biopsy during bariatric surgery. The current study propose to investigate with a full night polysomnography consecutive patients undergoing percutaneous liver biopsy for suspected NAFLD.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging study to evaluate the safety, including tolerability, of ISIS 703802 and to assess the efficacy of different doses and dosing regimens of ISIS 703802 on glucose and lipid metabolism, and liver fat in participants with hypertriglyceridemia, Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
