Filter by:The purpose of this study is to learn how well efinopegdutide works compared to placebo in people who have non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Researchers will also learn about the safety and benefit of efinopegdutide and how well people tolerate the medicine. The main goal of the study is to compare how many people taking efinopegdutide or placebo stop showing evidence of NASH without liver scarring getting worse.
A Phase 4, non-randomized, multicentre, open-label, single-arm study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Saroglitazar 4 mg in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with comorbidities (either obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia or metabolic syndrome).
The project will study the impact of individually tailored lifestyle counselling compared to standard care on the parameters of NAFLD/NASH in patients with metabolic syndrome. The factors affecting the outcome (including clinical and laboratory parameters and microbiome profiling) will be evaluated.
This is a Phase Ib/II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, international multi-center clinical study to investigate the efficacy and safety of GH509 in subjects with NASH/NAFLD
The objective of this observational study is to evaluate the clinical utility of the combined assay of 3 biomarkers: α-FP, α-FP-L3 and DCP (simultaneously measured by µTASWakoTM i30 automated in vitro diagnostic system) in high-risk subjects to develop this neoplasm. In particular, it aims to: - Evaluate the clinical utility of the combined use of α-FP, α-FP-L3 and DCP in predicting the onset of HEPATOCARCINOMA (HCC); - Evaluate the performance of GALAD and GALADUS scores in the early diagnosis of HCC; - Evaluate the association between the levels of the three biomarkers (individually and in combination with each other) and the stage of HCC
The purpose of the study is to assess the feasibility of a trial to test the effects of homocysteine (Hcy) lowering supplements in patients with NAFLD. NAFLD patients will be asked to take Hcy lowering supplements (Vitamin B12, Folate, Vitamin B6, and Betaine) daily for 12 weeks. Over the course of approximately 12 to 13 weeks, participants will complete two in person visits and two phone visits to complete activities such as physical exam, fibroscan, blood draws, and questionnaires.
Cohort studies show an association between increased intake of insoluble (cereal) fiber and decreased risk for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes (T2DM), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), cancer, infectious and inflammatory disorders. Intervention studies, specifically addressing non-fermentable carbohydrates instead of their food sources (whole grain, pulses, legumes) are still sparse. Whole grain trials reported beneficial effects, but cannot pinpoint these benefits on fiber, as minerals, vitamins, grain protein and food matrix contribute to the metabolic results. The antidiabetic effectiveness of cereal fiber might be explained by a) an increased secretion of incretins and other glucose-induced gastrointestinal hormones, b) an alteration of the gut microbiome, or c) a fermentation to short-chain fatty acids. Fermentable fibers (most of which are soluble) show these mechanisms, but lack strong diabetes-protective associations in cohort studies. In recent supplementation trials, insoluble, mostly non-fermentable fibers improved insulin resistance, glycemia and inflammation in patients with metabolic syndrome or prediabetes. Between 2022-2024, we want to assess the effectiveness of insoluble, poorly fermentable cereal fiber in a shorter Intervention period in patients with high responsiveness (insulin-naïve overt type 2 diabetes mellitus with insulin resistance and NAFLD), using a fiber drinking supplement. Our triple-blinded RCT compares the metabolic effects and mechanistic outcomes of isocaloric treatments with 15 grams of oat-fiber supplement per day (vs. placebo) in 92 patients, covering an intervention period of 12 weeks.
The investigators seek to analyze the samples provided by patients with obesity-associated fatty liver disease at the multi-omics level and to integrate the results with clinical information, genotypic variants, and factors influencing inter-organ crosstalk. The main aim is to improve the interpretation of fatty liver disease associated with obesity and diabetes by developing predictive models built with algorithms from artificial intelligence. The challenge is to decipher the flow of information by exploring contributing factors, proximate causes of regulatory defects, and maladaptive responses that may promote therapeutic approaches.
To examine the effect of dasatinib plus quercetin on liver fibrosis in individuals with biopsy proven NAFLD with fibrosis by performing a double-blind randomized controlled proof-of-principle study
Whether impaired postprandial glucagon suppression in prediabetes and T2DM is an attempt to overcome resistance to glucagon's actions on hepatic AA catabolism, a defect in α-cell function, or a combination of both are important, unanswered questions. NAFLD is associated with T2DM risk and impaired insulin action. Unfortunately, it is unclear if glucagon resistance is caused by obesity, hepatic steatosis or both. The experiments outlined will determine if glucagon's actions on hepatic amino acid catabolism and EGP interact with hepatic lipid metabolism in lean and obese subjects with and without T2DM (and with varying degrees of hepatic steatosis).
