Filter by:The purpose of this study is to measure the safety, tolerability, and PK (measurement of drug activity in the body over time) of AZD7503 injected subcutaneously, and compared to placebo, in participants with suspected NASH, a type of liver disease.
This study will investigate the effect of multiple doses of cotadutide on the cardiac activity (QTc interval) of healthy participants.
Collection of clinical and genetic data to help identify individuals that carry genetic variants of known importance in Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH)
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of single subcutaneous (SC) dose of JNJ-75220795 in Japanese participants.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and drug levels of BMS-963272 compared to placebo in participants with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and high probability of advanced fibrosis.
This study will evaluate the effect of each dose of MK-3655 versus placebo on the percentage of individuals with NASH resolution without worsening of fibrosis after 52 weeks. The primary hypothesis of the study is that at least 1 dose of MK-3655 is superior to placebo with respect to the percentage of individuals with NASH resolution without worsening of fibrosis after 52 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate the utility of Liver Incytes in assessing NAFLD with or without advanced fibrosis in patients seen in liver clinics for suspected NAFLD diagnosis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending doses of ALN-HSD in healthy participants (Part A) and multiple doses of ALN-HSD in patients with NASH (Parts B and C).
The prevalence of obesity has significantly increased over the last few decades. The excessive fat accumulation in undesired areas in obese patients may lead to various complications, such as cardiovascular diseases and Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) defined by intrahepatic triglycerides (IHTG) content higher than 5.5%. In Hong Kong, the incidence rate of NAFLD is as high as approximately 13.5%, while 60.5% of obese subjects suffer from NAFLD. NAFLD is found to be a well-established risk factor for chronic kidney disease, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Moreover, obesity is a strong independent risk factor for development of atherosclerosis. It also plays important role in pathogenesis of dyslipidaemia, insulin resistance, hypertension. Both NAFLD and cardiovascular risks can be reversed. Lifestyle modification program(LMP) including diet control and routine exercise has been widely recommended to patients with mild to moderate obesity. It is vital to have a non-invasive, non-ionizing, low cost, accessible or widely available and yet accurate assessment tool to diagnose NAFLD and some cardiovascular risk parameters and serially monitor changes to assess the efficacy of LMP. Ultrasound meets these requirements. To the best of our knowledge there has been no prior study similar to this one. In this study, we aim to assess and validate the diagnostic accuracy of a novel ultrasound attenuation imaging method for NAFLD, and to evaluate the effectiveness of LMP in reversal of NAFLD and reduction of cardiovascular risks in moderate obesity. A total of forty moderate obese patients with NAFLD will be recruited in this study, divided into lifestyle modification program group(n=20) and usual care group(n=20). All subjects will undergo dietary assessment based on 3-day diet record and power of food scale. Demographic data will be recorded, consisted of age, weight, height, waist circumference, BMI, and so on. Ultrasound attenuation imaging (ATI) will be performed to measure tissue attenuation coefficient so as to evaluate liver steatosis and liver fibrosis stage. Meanwhile, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will be carried out, which include cardiovascular risks measurement, liver proton density fat fraction (PDFF), volume quantification of abdominal white adipose tissue, liver inflammation and fibrosis assessment. Biochemistry tests will be conducted as supplementary for assessment of NAFLD and cardiovascular risks, comprising liver function test, lipid, fasting glucose, etc.
