Active clinical trials for "Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease"

This is a double-blind, randomised, multi-centre, placebo-controlled, comparative, phase IIb trial. The trial will be conducted with three treatment groups in the form of a parallel group comparison and will serve to compare oral treatment with either 1500 mg/d or 1000 mg/d norUDCA tablets vs. placebo tablets for the treatment of NASH.

A two-trial repeated measures design will be employed in this investigation. Both the control trial and the exercise trial will last for 3 months. During a week before the start of the study, participants will complete dietary recalls and record their habitual physical activity using accelerometers. Thereafter, body composition, ultrasound imaging of the muscle and liver, biochemical and hematological markers were measured. This range of measurements will be repeated the ended each month for both trials. Control trial succeeds exercise trial. An exercise intervention program will take place in the second trial, three times a week.

To determine the efficiency of lifestyle modification (due to a dietitian or digital application) compared to standard of care.

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) - also called fatty liver - is medically a serious problem because the liver tissue becomes fatty and stiff, and inflammatory reactions occur. This increases the risk of liver fibrosis (= scarring of the liver), liver cirrhosis (= shrunken liver), a liver tumor or death. So far there is no recognized treatment option for this disease. However, there is evidence that a lifestyle change based on a reduced carbohydrate diet, more exercise and a significant weight loss that can improve NASH.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a metabolic disorder with high prevalence in patients suffering from chronic liver diseases [1]. NAFLD is characterized by the accumulation of > 5% of fat deposits in hepatocytes (hepatic steatosis) with no known other reasons for steatosis as excessive alcohol intake.The global prevalence of NAFLD differs depending on the population reaching 13% in Africa, 32% in the Middle East, and 30 % in the United States

The aim of the study is to demonstrate the superiority of bariatric surgery on the disappearance of NASH without worsening of fibrosis in comparison to medical standard treatment in obese patients (35 kg/m² > BMI ≥ 30 kg/m²) with NASH complicated of advanced fibrosis (F3 and F4 fibrosis grade according to Brunt score).

Semaglutide is a medicine studied in patients with NASH. Semaglutide is a well-known medicine, which is already used by doctors to treat type 2 diabetes in many countries. Participants will either get semaglutide or a dummy medicine - which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participants will need to inject themselves with medicine under the skin. Participants will need to do this once a week. The study will last for about 5 years. Participants will have up to 21 clinic visits and 9 phone calls with the clinical staff during the study. Some of the clinic visits may be spread over more than one day. Participants with other chronic liver diseases cannot take part in this study. Women cannot take part in the study if they are pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to become pregnant during the study period.

Prevention of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) through lifestyle intervention (MAUCO+) is a clinical trial that aims to improve sarcopenia, aerobic capacity, body composition, and lipid profile, insulin resistance, cardiovascular risk, NAFLD, and maintain a healthier lifestyle. Through the implementation of physical activity and nutritional programs.

The effect of once daily dosing of oral Semaglutide versus once daily dosing Sitagliptin on glycemic control, body weight, and safety and tolerability will be compared in Liver Transplant Recipients with poorly-controlled Diabetes Mellitus.

This 12-week controlled diet and weight intervention study seeks to define the molecular pathways that link excess body weight to the development of insulin resistance (IR). Blood, adipose and stool are sampled at three timepoints; baseline, peak weight (4 weeks) and post weight loss to monitor changes in cellular processes. Additionally, direct insulin sensitivity testing, and radiological measurement of visceral fat and intrahepatic fat content is measured at three timepoints to correlate clinical indices with cellular changes.
