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

Patients with NAFLD indicated for ursodeoxycholic acid treatment ("by SPC: cholestatic hepatitis") will be offered an observational study. Examinations will be performed before the treatment and after 6month period. Laboratory parameters, non-invasive indices, liver elastography, cardiovascular parameters and liver MR spectroscopy will be performed.

This is a prospective/retrospective, observational follow-up study of effects of fatty liver on chronic hepatitis B. Patients will join this study who undergo transient elastography with liver stiffness (LS) and CAP measurements or Ultrasonic examination. All recruited subjects will undergo comprehensive clinical, anthropometric and laboratory assessments at the time when transient elastography or Ultrasonic examination is performed. We plan to compare the relationship between chronic hepatitis B and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Patients will be divided into several groups based on the demand.

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the different effect of morning and evening exercise training in individuals with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The main question it aims to answer is: • Is morning or evening exercise better for the treatment of NAFLD? Participants will follow a supervised exercise training program for three months with either morning or evening training and the effect on liver health will be assessed. Researchers will compare the morning to the evening exercise group to see if one training timepoint is more effective than the other in reducing the amount of fat in the liver and improving liver health.

The main aim of the study is to discover the mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of NAFLD in obese youth.

To determine the efficacy of GS300 when administered for 24 weeks in patients with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD).

The main aim of the study is to set up an observational cohort with NAFLD (Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) at different stage of disease (from simple steatosis to cirrhosis and/or HCC-Hepatocellular carcinoma) and for comparative purpose a cohort of subjects with diabetes and/or obesity and/or other risk factors (i.e. psoriasis, IBD (inflammatory bowel disease), dyslipidemia) without NAFLD in order to have a clinical phenotypical characterization and the collection of biological specimens. We will collect clinical data, biological samples and imaging results in order to perform future cross-sectional studies and/or longitudinal studies for elucidating pathways of the disease and develop and validate biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring liver disease and comorbidities in order to contribute to precision medicine in this field.

Non-Alcoholic Fatty liver Disease (NAFLD) is a Public Health problem. NAFLD affects nearly 25% of the world's population. NAFLD includes hepatic complications related to insulin resistance and metabolic inflammation. NAFLD is in fact a continuum of liver abnormalities that progresses from pure steatosis, to Non-Alcoholic Steato-Hepatitis-NASH, then to hepatic fibrosis, cirrhosis and even the appearance of primary liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma). Although many drugs are being tested for advanced forms of NAFLD, steatohepatitis (NASH) with fibrosis and post-NAFLD cirrhosis, there are currently no drugs with marketing authorization. Excessive and unbalanced dietary intake, excessive physical inactivity and lack of regular physical activity are major contributors to the development of NAFLD. It is therefore logical that the preventive and curative treatment of NAFLD is based on hygienic and dietary measures. Physical exercise alone in patients with NAFLD has been shown to improve liver steatosis even in the absence of weight loss. Proof of concept of the improvement in hepatic steatosis has been shown to be achieved by physical activity, whether or not associated with dietary management. More recently, APA (Adapted Physical Activity) is thus seen as a new modality of care that will become central to the prevention and treatment of NAFLD. The aim of this work is to evaluate the decrease in hepatic steatosis by continuous CAP® and parameters evaluating non-invasive inflammation and hepatic fibrosis in patients with NAFLD subjected to the application of personalized dietary measures without or with the performance of personalized and reproducible physical activity via the prescription of adapted physical activity. The evaluation will be carried out initially, at the end of the operation and 6 months after the end of the operation in order to look for a persistent effect of the modification in lifestyle.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about how the body stores fat in and around organs (for example in the liver) and why this affects some people's health more than others. Understanding this may lead to better treatments for diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Evaluate efficacy and safety of ADI-PEG 20 in patients with NASH

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a liver disease, caused by storage of fat in the liver. The most-important risk-factors are being overweight, and disorders in sugar and cholesterol handling of the body. On average does around 30% of the population worldwide have any signs of fatty liver. Most people will not get severe complaints as a result of their fatty liver. But in some of them, the fat storage will lead to hepatitis. This causes damage to the liver which can eventually lead to scarring of the liver, and in some patients to cirrhosis. This possibly can cause liver failure, liver cancer, an several complaints which reduce the quality of life. There are several tests which can help in detecting scarring of the liver. However, the scientific world still does not know well enough which test works best and if they perhaps might work better if they are used together. In this study these questions will be investigated in order to design a care path which does several tests consecutively. The goal is that this will make it possible to easily detect a severely diseased liver and that this will eventually help to detect patients earlier so they can be treated earlier and complications of the disease might be reduced. Moreover, is the goal that this study will lead to a decrease in unnecessary referrals to a hepatologist, resulting in a reduction in invasive diagnostic interventions. Hospital specialists who think that their patient might be at risk for advanced liver disease, can refer a patient to this study. Participants will go to the hospital for one study visit where several tests will be done which are designed to detect liver scarring. Depending on the results, a participant will be referred to a hepatologist for more extensive diagnostics or referred back to the referring specialist with advice for management of the disease.
