NCT ID: NCT06463223 Not yet recruiting - Metabolic Disease Clinical Trials

HIBOC = Hepatic Imaging Biomarkers in Obese Children

Start date: October 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The goal of this prospective, diagnostic observational study is to learn about how imaging based markers for components of liver disease appear in children with obesity. It aims to determine whether the imaging markers (ultrasound and MRI) for liver disease can be tools to improve diagnostics for liver affection in children with obesity and to ascertain how the markers are related to multiple clinical measures, for example BMI and serology measure, and treatment effects over time.

NCT ID: NCT06315361 Active, not recruiting - Diabetes Clinical Trials

DIAbetes and NAFLD

DIANA
Start date: May 20, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Non-alcoholic hepatic steatosis (NAFLD) is characterised by the excessive accumulation of triglycerides in the liver and is often associated, in the absence of significant alcohol consumption, with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome with which it shares the most frequent clinical manifestations (hypertension, dyslipidaemia, visceral adiposity, glucose intolerance). Due to the pandemic spread of obesity and diabetes and by virtue of better control of viral hepatitis, NAFLD is the most common cause of liver damage in Western countries with a prevalence of around 20-30% of the general population. The clinical impact of NAFLD in diabetes is considerable and represents a real driver of the major clinical outcomes that impact on the health of the individual, consequently creating a real 'burden of disease' especially in those populations considered to be at higher risk of disease severity. Individuals with diabetes are, in fact, those at greatest risk of developing the clinical sequelae of NAFLD and often do not receive adequate hepatological support and a correct hepatic pathology. In fact, it has been documented in the literature that the presence of diabetes increases the severity of liver damage, bringing the risk of NASH up to 80% and increasing the risk of significant fibrosis to 30-40% of subjects with hepatic steatosis as well as representing an independent predictor for significant fibrosis. Lastly, the increased risk of hepatocarcinoma in subjects with diabetes and NAFLD should not be overlooked, as documented by our group and confirmed in a large Italian case series. In subjects with diabetes, moreover, the presence of NAFLD is not only associated with worse glycaemic control, but also with micro- and macro-vascular complications as well as nephrological and neuropathic complications and increased mortality. Therefore, the possibility of applying the non-invasive fibrosis scores currently available for NAFLD on a large scale, in a population at high risk of progressive liver disease, would make it possible to characterise (a) the true epidemiology of significant fibrosis (F3 or higher); (b) allow primary prevention actions to be carried out by optimising the use of resources or by identifying subjects at greater risk of damage progression; (c) understand, in cases with a long history of disease the true prevalence of clinical outcomes; (d) understand the epidemiology of comorbidities and polypharmacy as a function of significant fibrosis.

NCT ID: NCT06293378 Recruiting - Cirrhosis, Liver Clinical Trials

Safety and Effectiveness of Sulfasalazine in the Treatment of Liver Fibrosis/Cirrhosis.

Start date: February 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a controlled, observational clinical study initiated by investigators to investigate the efficacy and safety of sulfasalazine in the treatment of cirrhosis in patients with cirrhosis. Four cohorts were planned: primary biliary cirrhosis, hepatitis B and C cirrhosis, and alcoholic cirrhosis. The four groups were divided into experimental group and control group, and the experimental group: each group of patients was orally treated sulfasalazine for 12 months, taken three times a day, each time taking 0.5g. The control group did not take sulfasalazine. After 12 months, changes in fecal flora and metabolites before and after the use of sulfasalazine were observed.

NCT ID: NCT06248580 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Find HDV and Determine Its Status in Turkey

SITUHDVATION
Start date: March 11, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

The aim of these study to determine the prevalence of hepatitis Delta virus (HDV) infections and the prognosis of HDV patients in Turkey's southeast. The investigators intend to arrange training sessions for 250 family physicians in Diyarbakir, Batman, Mardin, and Sanliurfa in order to determine those goals. The investigators will talk about diagnosing hepatitis B virus (HBV), HDV, hepatitis C virus (HCV), and Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections during these events. To ensure that patients with simultaneous HDV infection are evaluated for HIV/HCV and to detect liver fibrosis with a non-invasive method.

NCT ID: NCT06111859 Recruiting - NAFLD Clinical Trials

Effectiveness of Ultrasound in Liver Stiffness and Fat Quantification

Start date: January 2, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Liver stiffness is a marker for scarring of the liver, which occurs after damage from various liver conditions. Scarring prevents normal liver function and can lead to liver failure. Fatty liver is a common cause of liver damage and can contribute to scarring. Currently, liver biopsy serves as the 'gold standard' for assessing the degree of liver scarring and fatty infiltration, guiding treatment decisions. However, liver biopsy poses a significant risk of death and unpleasant side effects, including internal bleeding and pain. Moreover, due to the small sample of liver tissue obtained during the biopsy, the results can be misleading and may not provide an accurate overview of the liver's health. Therefore, there is an unmet need for a non-invasive method of measuring liver stiffness and fat content. Ultrasound-based methods utilize various properties of ultrasound waves to assess liver stiffness and fat levels. This study aims to recruit 100-120 patients with chronic liver disease. The investigators will assess liver stiffness and fat levels during patients' hospital visits for routine scans, biopsies, or clinic appointments. The resulting measurements of liver stiffness and fat obtained through ultrasound-based methods will be compared to patients' routine liver biopsies, routine FibroScan results (another non-invasive method routinely used in clinical care to assess patients' liver stiffness), and other non-invasive severity scores (calculated from results obtained from patients' routine blood tests, providing an overview of the extent of liver damage).

NCT ID: NCT06005012 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

NCT ID: NCT05855031 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Alcohol Use Disorder

The Liver Care Trial

Start date: May 8, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of screening for liver disease with liver stiffness measurement on abstinence or light consumption after 6 months in individuals who are receiving treatment for alcohol use disorder and without a history of liver disease. The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial with concealed allocation comparing A) an invitation to a liver stiffness measurement, blood sampling and leaflet on alcohol-related disease (intervention) with B) an invitation to blood sampling (control). The primary outcome is 'abstinence or light consumption' (≤ 10 units/week) throughout the last months, and assessed 6 months after randomization.
