Filter by:This is a prospective observational study which will recruit up to 100 paediatric participants over a period of 30 months to determine whether MRI is as accurate at detecting, distinguishing, and monitoring liver disease as current standard of care techniques such as liver biopsy and fibroscan.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a global health concern with a suspected increasing prevalence due to the rise in obesity and diabetes mellitus. The vast majority of patients will have isolated steatosis or steatosis with mild inflammation that is very unlikely to progress in severity. However, about 25% of patients with NAFLD have non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), the more aggressive form of the disease that is associated with fibrosis progression and potential risk for cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease complications. Additionally, multiple studies have demonstrated an association between NAFLD and the presence of coronary artery disease by either coronary CT angiography (CCTA) or coronary artery calcium (CAC) score. Cardiovascular disease is the most important cause of mortality in patients with the entire spectrum of NAFLD. In the era of advanced imaging and functional vascular assessment it is possible that novel risk assessments are poised to refine overall prognostic estimation in this population. Multiple analyses have suggested that NAFLD is an independent and strong predictor of significant CAD independent of cardiovascular risk factors, including a significant burden of high risk CCTA findings in one analysis of symptomatic patients in the emergency department. Given the multiple metabolic derangements inherent in the NAFLD population, endothelial dysfunction is also an important contributor to global cardiovascular dysfunction. Furthermore, data suggests that patients with NAFLD may be at increased risk of adenomatous polyp formation and colorectal adenocarcinoma. In addition, it is suboptimal to require a liver biopsy to diagnose NASH. Recent imaging advances have made it possible to assess liver fibrosis but have yet to be fully studied in NAFLD. The purpose of this study is to assess the current prevalence and severity of NAFLD in adult subjects. Secondary endpoints include correlation to new vascular function (cine scan of the abdominal aorta) and echocardiographic imaging modalities available at BAMC and to circulating biomarker panels as well as to determine the prevalence and severity of CAD by multidetector coronary CT angiography with subject outcomes being monitored prospectively. Additionally, correlation of NAFLD diagnosis to colonoscopy findings will be performed.
Investigation of efficacy and safety of three dose levels of subcutaneous semaglutide once daily versus placebo in subjects with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving subjects with NASH cirrhosis and severe portal hypertension (defined as HVPG ≥12 mmHg as determined by the central reader assigned to this study). Upon successful screening, subjects will be randomized to receive either emricasan 50 mg BID, 25 mg BID, or 5 mg BID or matching placebo BID.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of once-daily oral MGL-3196 on the percent change in hepatic fat fraction from baseline in patients with biopsy-proven Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH).
This study is designed to investigate the impact of weight loss achieved with the IGB on NASH with early fibrosis in a select cohort of patients with obesity preselected to have a high pre-test probability of having NASH with early fibrosis based on magnetic resonance elastography (MRE)-Hepatogram. In addition, this study will explore potential non-invasive imaging criteria for NASH and early fibrosis using EUS-Elastography.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the investigational treatment volixibat (SHP626) is safe, tolerable and effective in adults with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
This is a randomized, double-blinded study of three doses of MSDC-0602K or placebo given orally once daily to subjects with biopsy proven NASH with fibrosis and no cirrhosis.
Patients of NASH (Non Alcoholic Steatohepatitis) cirrhosis with current or prior histological evidence of steatosis or steatohepatitis admitted under the Department of Hepatology at Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences, who meet the inclusion criteria and who provide informed consent will be included in the study.
This is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial involving subjects with a diagnosis of "definite NASH" with fibrosis (excluding cirrhosis) as determined by the central histopathologist. Upon successful screening, subjects will be randomized to receive either emricasan 50 mg BID or emricasan 5 mg BID or matching placebo BID.
