Filter by:This is a Phase 2 Study to evaluate the effect of DD01 treatment in overweight/obese patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD)/metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).
This study will validate recently developed Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ultrasound (US) based methods for liver fat quantification in children with obesity and healthy range of body mass index (BMI).
Background: Ketosis after bariatric surgery is a metabolic process that occurs when the body breaks down fat for energy because of not getting enough carbohydrates. Insufficient production of ketone bodies reduces the rate of weight loss, and excessive amounts of ketones can lead to ketoacidosis or liver failure in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The investigators hypothesize that weight loss is directly related to calorie intake, and a significant reduction in carbohydrate content leads to increased ketosis and the risk of ketoacidosis. Objectives: The study aimed to compare the incidence of ketoacidosis and liver failure in patients with NASH with different intakes of carbohydrates in the early postoperative period after gastric bypass. In addition, the investigators want to find out how carbohydrate restriction will affect weight loss for up to 1 year.
The purpose of the KETONASH study is to evaluate, in patients with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and significant liver fibrosis, the effect of a very low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) compared to that of a standard low-calorie diet (standard Mediterranean LCD - in accordance with the European Association for the Study of the Liver/European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism guidelines on MAFLD/NAFLD).
This study will be a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility, safety and acceptability of Exercise and Liver FITness (EL-FIT), a mHealth exercise training program previously validated in patients with cirrhosis in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.
non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is an inflammatory liver disease caused by the accumulation of fat in liver cells. With the change of living habits and diet, the incidence of Nash continues to increase. In the early stage, NASH generally has no obvious symptoms. With the progression of the disease and the aggravation of liver damage, it may induce fatigue, loss of body mass, and pain in the right upper abdomen, which seriously affects the health of patients. There are no specific drugs to treat NASH in clinical practice. Increasing exercise, taking drugs to avoid liver damage, controlling diet and other methods can alleviate clinical symptoms to a certain extent, but the stability of disease control is poor, and it is easy to develop into cirrhosis, threatening the life safety of patients. However, there are few clinical reports on the effect of drugs on NASH. In the previous treatment of patients with liver fibrosis, our research group found that non-alcoholic steatohepatitis NASH induced liver fibrosis has a good effect, suggesting that Langqingata may improve NASH. Based on this, this study observed the total effective rate of Lang Qingata in the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatic NASH.
The recent development of dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) technology for hyperpolarized (HP) 13C imaging offers a promising new avenue for non-invasively accessing fundamental metabolic changes associated with the progression of fatty liver disease in vivo. The purpose of this pilot study is to optimize sequence parameters for hyperpolarized 13C acquisition in the human liver and determine which metabolic changes can be seen in humans with simple, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) when compared to healthy volunteers.
The researchers want to learn how androgens, a type of sex hormone, might affect nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) in young women over time. NAFLD happens when fat builds up in the liver which can cause damage to the liver such as inflammation or scarring. Young women with a condition called polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have a high risk for NAFLD, and they often have high androgen levels too. So the researchers are recruiting young women with PCOS as well as those without PCOS, and will compare changes in NAFLD over time between young women with and without PCOS. This study is funded by the National Institutes of Health
The Early Liver Disease Breath Detection Study is a cross-sectional study where subjects with advanced liver fibrosis will ingest a mixture of food-grade compounds (known as Exogenous Volatile Organic Compound or EVOCs) in the form of an emulsion and then provide multiple breath samples. These EVOCs can be measured on exhaled breath and it has been found that liver diseases can affect the way EVOCs are processed in the body. The objective is to identify if changes in the way these EVOCs are processed in the body can have the potential to diagnose early stage liver diseases for these subjects. Subjects with fibro-scan confirmed fibrosis will be recruited from Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) by local research staff, they will be invited to take part in the study at a dedicated clinic at OneNorwich Practises a clinic based in Norwich City Centre. They will be asked to fast overnight then provide a baseline breath sample, before ingesting the food-grade EVOCs emulsion and then providing additional breath samples at subsequent time points up to 90 minutes post ingestion.
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
