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

This is phase 1 first-in-human trial evaluating SRT-015 to assess safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics. This study will be conducted in 3 parts - SAD, MAD and Food Effect with target of 96 healthy volunteers. This will be a single center, Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, SAD and MAD study of dose escalation cohorts evaluating administration of SRT-015 or placebo. Additionally, PK will be assessed in fed and fasting states.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a rapidly growing epidemic worldwide and is an increasingly important etiology of chronic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. NAFLD affects approximately 90 million people in the United States (US) amounting to an annual cost of $100 billion yearly. It is projected to become the leading cause of liver transplantation in the US by 2030 and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. NAFLD is a spectrum of liver diseases, ranging from simple steatosis (nonalcoholic fatty liver, NAFL) to hepatic steatosis associated with inflammation (nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, NASH), which can be associated with liver scarring (hepatic fibrosis) and cirrhosis. There are limited therapeutic options that have been shown to effectively reduce or reverse the progression of disease. Lifestyle modification is the backbone of therapy, but difficult to achieve. A modest amount of weight loss of approximately 3% can reduce liver steatosis and a 10% weight loss can reduce the NASH and improve liver fibrosis. The American Association of the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) guidelines state that "a combination of a hypocaloric diet (daily reduction by 500-1000 kcal) and moderate intensity exercise is the best likelihood of sustaining weight loss over time." There are several barriers to adopting a healthy lifestyle involving both patient and physician limitations. The aim of this study is to engage patients in a lifestyle intervention program that has already been shown to be successful in achieving weight loss goals and adopting healthier lifestyle patterns. The CDC Diabetes Prevention Program, (DPP) was a large (n=3,234) multicenter study aimed to evaluate the effect of lifestyle intervention or treatment with metformin on the incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Lifestyle intervention reduced the incidence of T2DM by 58% (95% CI, 48-66%) and metformin reduced the incidence by 31% (95% CI, 17-43%) as compared to placebo. To prevent one case of diabetes over three years, 6.9 persons would have to participate in the lifestyle-intervention program, and 13.9 would have to receive metformin. The CDC DPP program has been adapted and tested in the multiple different community and state-wide programs including the YMCA, WorkWellNYC and NYS DPP. In these real-world models, the life style intervention program has been delivered in a group-based format by DPP lifestyle coaches. These programs have been successful like that of the randomized trial and improvements were sustainable at 6 and 12 month follow up after completion of the program. The program is now available and reimbursable through Medicare (Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program). In this pilot study, the researchers will enroll 20 patients with NAFLD in an adapted DPP program and follow study participants for 1 year. The rationale for the proposed research is to apply the DPP to NAFLD because of the close relationship with Diabetes and determine the real-world outcome of the DPP program on weight loss in patients with NAFLD. If the researchers illustrate that weight loss can be achieved and is sustainable in patients with NAFLD enrolled in lifestyle intervention programs, the researchers can develop innovative approaches to deliver such a program nationwide in a cost-effective and sustainable manner.

We conducted a 3-month, randomized, single-blind study in 102 Egyptian NASH patients who were divided into three groups; group 1 included 34 patients received Vit. E 400 mg twice a day, group 2 included 34 patients received UDCA 250 mg twice a day and group 3 included 34 patients received PTX 400 mg twice daily for 3 months. The following parameters were measured both before and after intervention intake; liver aminotransferases (AST, ALT), cytokine and chemokine (IL6 and CCL2/MPC-1), albumin, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, HDL.

This is a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, once daily (QD) dose study of CRV431 in presumed NASH F2/F3 subjects.

To assess the effect of a methionine metabolism-based dietary strategy in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in order to reduce complications while improving the quality of life for patients.

This is a phase II study of of Leronlimab (PRO 140)-Humanized monoclonal antibody to CCR5 in patients with Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH).

This study looks at how a new study medicine called NNC0194-0499 behaves in the body of Chinese men. Three different dose levels will be tested. Participant will get only one of the three different dose levels of NNC0194-0499. Which dose participant will get will be decided by chance. NNC0194-0499 is a medicine under clinical investigation. It means that the medicine has not yet been approved by the health authorities. Participant will get 1 or 2 injections of the study medicine. It will be injected with a needle into a skin fold on stomach. The study will last for a maximum of 64 days. Participant will not be able to take part in the study if the study doctor considers there is a risk for participant's health.

The goal of this open-label, non-randomized, prospective study is to compare Velacur and MRE in all sexes, 18-80 years old with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). The main aims is to: Validate the use of Velacur and elastography cut offs in a patient cohort with all types of chronic liver disease, against MRE results for fibrosis staging. Validate the use of Velacur and attenuation cut offs in a patient cohort with all types of chronic liver disease, against MRI-PDFF results for steatosis staging. Participants will Study participants will attend 1 study visit, in which measurement of liver stiffness with Velacur and FibroScan, will be performed by a certified technician. As part of Visit 1, Patients will also complete an MRI exam which will include both MRE and MRI-PDFF measurements (MRI imaging can take place within 28 days of the Velacur scan).

Sidekick Health has developed a digital behavioral change program (SK-241) specifically designed for people with metabolic derangements and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The SK-241 is delivered through a mobile application and aims at improving lifestyle and health outcomes by focusing on improving diet, increasing activity levels and reducing stress. In this study, the feasibility of the newly developed digital behavioral change program (SK-241) will be evaluated in a minimum of 30 individuals with a NAFLD diagnosis. The primary aim is to explore the acceptability of the SK-241 program by its users, in addition to exploring changes in clinical outcomes and medication adherence after a 12-week intervention with 6 months follow up.

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, abbreviated as NASH, is a chronic liver disease that may progress to cirrhosis. The disease is mostly associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus, or insulin resistance and is very common. However, Treatment of NASH is a significant unmet clinical need. IVA337 (lanifibranor) is a next generation pan-PPAR (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors) agonist addressing the pathophysiology of NASH : metabolic, inflammatory and fibrotic. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of two doses of IVA337 (800mg, 1200 mg) per day for 24 weeks versus placebo in adult NASH patients with liver steatosis and moderate to severe necroinflammation without cirrhosis.
