A Study of MK-3655 in Individuals With Pre-cirrhotic Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) (MK-3655-001)...
Nonalcoholic SteatohepatitisThis study will evaluate the effect of each dose of MK-3655 versus placebo on the percentage of individuals with NASH resolution without worsening of fibrosis after 52 weeks. The primary hypothesis of the study is that at least 1 dose of MK-3655 is superior to placebo with respect to the percentage of individuals with NASH resolution without worsening of fibrosis after 52 weeks.
Characterization of Visceral Adiposity in HIV Mono-infected Patients With NAFLD
Visceral SteatosisHiv1 moreTo determine the distribution of visceral fat in people living with HIV (PLHIV) with NAFLD by clinical anthropometric indicators (wais-to-hip ratio), lipid accumulation product (waist circumference and triglycerides) and radiological techniques such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) (trunk fat mass and fat mass through dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry).
Guangzhou Nutrition and Health Study (GNHS)
Cardiovascular DiseasesOsteoporosis11 morePurpose: The Guangzhou Nutrition and Health Study (GNHS) project aims to assess the determinants of metabolic disease in nutritional aspects, as well as other environmental and genetic factors, and explore possible mechanisms with multi-omics integration. Study design: GNHS is a community-based prospective cohort study. Participants: In this cohort, the original GNHS and another cohort study (the controls of a case-control study of hip fractures, CCFH) have been integrated into the one GNHS project. After completing the baseline examination, a total of 5118 participants were recruited during 2008-2015 in the GNHS project. Visits and Data Collection: Participants were/will be visited every three years by invited to the School of Public Health, Sun Yat-sen University. At each visit, face-to-face interviews, specimen collection, anthropometric measurements, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scanning, ultrasonography evaluation, vascular endothelial function evaluation, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), 14-d real-time continuous glucose monitoring tests, laboratory tests, and multi-omics data were/will be conducted. Up to December 2022, 3442 and 2895 subjects completed the 2nd and 3rd visits. Key variables: Questionnaire interviews. Physical examinations: Anthropometric measurements, blood pressure tests, handgrip strength, muscle function and bracelet motion monitoring. DXA scanning: To determine bone density, bone mineral content, bone geometry information, fat mass, and muscle mass. Ultrasonography evaluations: To determine carotid artery intima-media thickness and plaque, and fatty liver. Vascular endothelial function evaluation. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing: Lung function. MRI: Brain and upper-abdomen MRI. 14-d Real-time continuous glucose monitoring tests. Specimen collections: Overnight fasting blood, early morning first-void urine, faces, and saliva samples. Laboratory tests: Metabolic syndrome-related indices; Diabetes-related indices; Uric acid; Nutritional indices; Inflammatory cytokines; Index of oxidative stress; Adipocytes; Sexual hormones; Liver and renal function-related markers; Routine blood test. Multi-omics data: Genotyping data; Gut microbiota; Untargeted serum and fecal proteomics; Targeted serum and fecal metabolomics. Morbidity and mortality: Relevant data were/will be also retrieved via local multiple health information systems.
Sitagliptin for the Treatment of Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes...
Type 2 DiabetesNonalcoholic SteatohepatitisThis is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating the impact of sitagliptin therapy in patients with concomitant type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) on improving liver disease based on biopsy results. The effect of sitagliptin on other measures such as hormones modifying insulin release and sensitivity (termed adipocytokines), fat distribution, and biomarkers of cardiovascular risk will also be evaluated.
Metformin for the Treatment of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
Fatty LiverThe purpose of this study is to find out if Metformin is safe and useful in the treatment of NAFLD.
Study of Fish Oil to Reduce ALT Levels in Adolescents
Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver DiseaseFatty LiverThis trial will provide preliminary data to test the hypothesis that a six-month treatment period with fish oil for overweight adolescent with mild to moderate persistent elevation of ALT levels and presence of hepatic steatosis on CT-scan is safe and will result in decreased ALT.
Safety and Efficacy of Selonsertib in Adults With Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) and Bridging...
Nonalcoholic SteatohepatitisThe primary objective of this study is to evaluate whether selonsertib (SEL; GS-4997) can cause fibrosis regression and reduce progression to cirrhosis and associated complications in adults with NASH and bridging (F3) fibrosis.
Effect of Dietary and Life Style Modification on Post Liver Transplant Obesity
Post Liver Transplantation Weight GainPost Liver Transplantation Obesity1 moreThis study is to assess value of providing classes about dietary and life style modifications to decrease or prevent weight gain, less occurrence or better control of weight gain associated disorders such as high blood sugar, hypertension, heart or brain vessels problems.Candidates for this study will be those who have got liver transplant within 6 months of their post transplant period.
