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: NCT06220695 Active, not recruiting - NAFLD Clinical Trials

A Nutrigenetic Intervention in MASLD

Start date: October 19, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study is designed as a 12-week randomized controlled dietary intervention in individuals who had been diagnosed with NAFLD in the last 6 months and whose body mass index is above 25 at the time of participation in the pre-screening. The study sample is determined as 150 subjects and randomization will be done by stratification according to PNPLA3 genotype. At baseline, hepatic steatosis and fibrosis will be measured with Fibroscan, body composition will be analyzed, and transaminases and sugar and lipid metabolism indicators will be examined. The study will be conducted in parallel groups, with each group receiving equal amounts and intensity of Mediterranean diet or low-fat diet therapy. At the end of the 12-week intervention, baseline measurements will be repeated and the efficacy of the Mediterranean Diet and Low-fat diet therapies will be compared, as well as the effect of PNPLA3 mutation on intrahepatic response will be analyzed.

NCT ID: NCT05699863 Active, not recruiting - Obesity Clinical Trials

The MULTISITE Study

Start date: October 6, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study will investigate potential correlations and relationships between obesity and organ-specific complications, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), non-alcoholic fatty pancreas disease (NAFPD) and fatty kidney. Furthermore, it will investigate how and if a lifestyle-induced weight-loss intervention decreases liver fat and improve NAFLD. Furthermore, the study will investigate if extracellular vesicles (EVs) can be used as a biomarker for early detection of any of the above-mentioned by comparing obese individuals with NAFLD and metabolic syndrome with both normal weight controls and obese individuals without NAFLD and metabolic syndrome. Lastly, it will investigate if weight changes and the resulting improvement of NAFLD are accompanied by changes in liver-specific extracellular vesicle (EV) phenotypes.

NCT ID: NCT05669677 Active, not recruiting - NAFLD Clinical Trials

Study to Determine the Response to COVID-19 Vaccination and Prevalence of COVID-19 in Subjects With Chronic Liver Disease

Start date: March 15, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Background: The COVID-19 global pandemic killed more than 6 million people worldwide. Several vaccines have been developed against the virus that causes this disease. These vaccines are effective at preventing severe symptoms and death from COVID-19. Some people with chronic liver disease, especially those with an advanced condition called cirrhosis, do not respond to many vaccines as well as healthy people do. The goal of this natural history study is to find out how well people with chronic liver disease respond to the COVID-19 vaccines. Objective: To learn how chronic liver disease affects the body s immune response to vaccination against COVID-19. Eligibility: People aged 18 years or older with chronic liver disease. They must also be enrolled in protocol 91-DK-0214 or 18-DK-0091. Design: Participants will have 3 visits, each spaced 6 months apart. Each visit will last 2 hours. Participants will have their vital signs recorded. These include age, sex, race, height, and weight. They will give their medical history. At each visit, participants will have blood drawn through a needle inserted into a vein in the arm. The sample drawn at each visit will be from 1 to 8 tablespoons. At each visit, participants will fill out a questionnaire. They will answer questions about whether they have been vaccinated against COVID-19; whether they have had COVID-19; and whether they have been exposed to someone who had COVID-19. The questionnaire will take 10 to 15 minutes. Researchers will also look at results of past blood tests from other research studies.

Dietary Counseling Coupled With FMT in the Treatment of Obesity and NAFLD - the DIFTOB Study

DIFTOB
Start date: October 30, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

There are several studies performed to reveal the linkage between diet, fecal microbiota, and obesity. Human fecal microbiota transplantations in this asset are still scarce. Therefore, this pilot study of FMT from lean to obese people with dietary counseling will increase the knowledge, whether FMT could play a role in the treatment of obesity and NAFLD. Our primary outcome is the changes in glucose metabolism by HOMA-IR.

NCT ID: NCT05309057 Active, not recruiting - Obesity Clinical Trials

Network Meta-analysis of Intermittent Fasting and Cardiometabolic Risk

Start date: November 1, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Intermittent fasting is a method of restricting calories over a defined period of time and includes regimens such as whole-day fasting, alternate-day fasting, and time-restricted feeding. There is emerging evidence that intermittent fasting or energy restriction might be more beneficial than continuous energy restriction for some risk factors. The effect of intermittent fasting on risk factors associated with obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, however, is not clear. The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) has yet to make any recommendations regarding the role of intermittent fasting in the management of diabetes. To inform the update of the EASD Clinical Practice Guidelines for Nutrition Therapy, tthe Diabetes and Nutrition Study Group (DNSG) of the EASD has commissioned a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of the effect of different intermittent fasting strategies on established cardiometabolic risk factors. The findings generated by this proposed knowledge synthesis will shape guide current guidelines and improve health outcomes by educating healthcare providers and patients, and by guiding future research design.
