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

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease is the most common cause of chronic liver diseases. The benign non-alcoholic fatty liver, characterized by excessive fat accumulation, can evolve into non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and liver cancer. The recommendation nowadays is a lifestyle change with physical exercise and diet to reduce liver fat and improve inflammation. Besides this, a leaky gut and dysbiosis have an impact on the liver, and exercise ameliorates the diversity of gut microbiota and permeability of the intestine. The aim of this study is to find out a link between exercise and the gut-liver axis regarding the stage of liver adiposity and define exercise-responsive gut microbiome in NAFLD patients

This study aims to assess the safety and tolerability of AMG 609 when administered subcutaneously as single doses in participants with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

This is an open-label, single-dose study to evaluate the PK profile of the liquid SC formulation of BIO89-100 in approximately 8 male and female subjects with NASH with compensated cirrhosis.

The purpose of this study is to measure the effect of a short-term low calorie diet on patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 25 who are undergoing liver surgery.

A multi-centre randomised controlled trial to determine the implementation and health care cost of LiverMultiScan vs. routine methodical assessment (standard care) of Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) across several European countries.

Excessive fat in the liver is associated with impairments in metabolic health. Low levels of DNL and high levels of hepatic fat oxidation are considered to be protective. A decrease in glycogen stores has been causally linked to improved whole body fat oxidation. Also on an organ level, it is suggested that hepatic fat oxidation is stimulated by low hepatic glycogen stores. Next to hepatic fat oxidation, DNL may be influenced by hepatic glycogen stores. Some studies have shown that prolongation of fasting time lowers hepatic glycogen content. It is therefore hypothesized that prolonging fasting time will lower glycogen content and thereby increases fat oxidation and decreases DNL in the liver. To this end, hepatic fat oxidation (plasma marker beta-hydroxybutyrate), de novo lipogenesis, hepatic glycogen content and intrahepatic fat content, will be measured upon a short overnight fast and an extended overnight fast in 13 overweight/obese subjects with hepatic steatosis.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an emerging health problem as it can lead to end stage liver failure and cardiovascular complications. Diet play an important role in the development of NAFLD. Many studies have addressed the effects of added fructose on NAFLD. To date, little attention has been paid to the effects of a diet devoid of fructose. Therefore, the investigators aim to study the effects of fructose restriction on hepatic fat accumulation and vascular function using a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled design.

A Phase 1, Open-label, Fixed-sequence Study to Investigate the Effects of EDP 305 on the Pharmacokinetics of a Combined Oral Contraceptive in Healthy Adult Female Subjects

IN THIS PHASE 2A, RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE BLIND, PLACEBO CONTROLLED, 3 ARM, PARALLEL- GROUP STUDY, SAFETY, TOLERABILITY, AND PHARMACODYNAMICS OF PF-06835919 ADMINISTERED ONCE DAILY FOR 6 WEEKS WILL BE ASSESSED IN ADULTS WITH NONALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE

This is a non-randomized, 2-part, open-label, drug-drug interaction (DDI) study to evaluate the effect of concomitant administration of itraconazole or rifampin on the pharmacokinetics and safety of EDP-305 in healthy human volunteers.
