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

The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether Viusid, a nutritional supplement, in combination with diet and exercise improve the histological results (steatosis, necro-inflammatory activity and fibrosis) in comparison with diet and exercise, during 24 weeks of treatment.

This is an open, pilot study using the oral ORMD-0801 insulin formulation in patients with NASH and confirmed type 2 DM or pre-diabetes. The study will consist of a Screening, placebo run-in, treatment phase and end-of-study phase.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease among children and is closely associated with obesity and the metabolic syndrome. NAFLD increases risk of mortality and natural history studies of adults show that NAFLD is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Pediatric NAFLD is particularly concerning from a public health standpoint, as it represents an early and possibly more aggressive form of the disease. Currently there is no effective treatment for pediatric NAFLD. Losartan is an orally-administered angiotensin II receptor antagonist which is currently on the market to treat high blood pressure. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) system has been shown to be important in many disease states including renal disease, cardiovascular disease, and NAFLD. Angiotensin antagonists are a class of medications that has been proposed as a novel treatment of NAFLD in part because they would treat both the factors increasing cardiovascular (CVD) risks as well as potentially improve steatosis, fibrosis and hepatic inflammation. This study is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled pilot study to evaluate whether 8 weeks of Losartan will decrease inflammatory markers among children ages 12-19 with a current diagnosis of NAFLD. Efficacy will be assessed by improvement in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) from baseline. Secondary endpoints will include aspartate aminotransferase (AST), cytokeratin 18 levels, and fasting triglyceride levels among others. Safety will be assessed by the recording of adverse events, clinical laboratory parameters, vital signs and physical examinations.

The primary aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Px-104 in NAFLD patients and to assess the influence of Px-104 on hepatic fat.

To study the effects of Resveratrol supplement on lipid profile, liver enzymes, inflammatory factors and hepatic fibrosis in patients with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver (NAfLD), 50 patients who referred to Gastrointestinal (GI) clinic with steatosis grade 1 or more will be randomly allocated to receive 1 Resveratrol capsules or placebos for 12 weeks; both groups will be advised to adherence our diet and exercise program too. At the first and the end of the intervention, lipid profiles, liver enzymes, some inflammatory cytokines, and liver fibrosis will be assessed and compared between groups.

A Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study of cenicriviroc (CVC) to be conducted in approximately 50 adult obese subjects [body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m^2] with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes mellitus and suspected NALFD.

The investigators want to evaluate the effects and safety of ginger in treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of HL tablet on reducing hepatic fat in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease patients. The patients are allocated to three groups; low dose, high dose, and placebo control group.

Fatty liver disease is an increasing problem in overweight and obese young adults. The purpose of this study is to test the effect of growth hormone on liver fat in obese young adults ages 18-29y with increased liver fat.

Fatty liver disease is an increasingly recognized health problem in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Sodium glucose co-transporter type 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors are a new class of anti-diabetic agents that cause weight loss by inducing glycosuria. The effect of SGLT-2 inhibitors on liver fat content is not evaluated. Empagliflozin is an orally active, selective inhibitor of SGLT-2. We hypothesized that Empagliflozin, when added to standard care for T2DM, would improve fatty liver disease. Therefore, the present study is planned to evaluate the effect of Empagliflozin on the liver fat content.
