Active clinical trials for "Fatty Liver"

Time restricted feeding (TRF) is a novel type of intermittent calorie restriction diet that involves eating a daily period of 8 hours or less. This is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of time restricted feeding (TRF) on hepatic fat contents and cardiometabolic risk factors in obese adults over 6 months compared to continuous energy restriction (CER).

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Niacinamide supplementation on clinical outcome of fatty liver patients having type II DM through measurement of the following before and after Niacinamide administration: Liver enzymes, Lipid profie, HOMA-IR, Oxidative stress markers and endothelial dysfunction marker. Fibroscan with CAP will be done at baseline and at the end of the trial. Also, Evaluation of quality of life of patients before and after Niacinamide administration using Chronic Liver Disease questionnaire.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of EYP001a (Vonafexor) with respect to safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and on markers of liver inflammation in patients with NASH

Surgical management of Morbid Obesity is increasingly frequent. A low-calorie diet is recommended with the main goal of reducing intrahepatic fat infiltration, fat tissue and making easier the surgery. Information the use pharmacological interventions during the preoperative period in this population are rare.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate safety and efficacy of Saroglitazar Magnesium 2 mg and 4 mg in patients with NASH. This study will be initiated after obtaining the approvals of Institutional Ethics Committee/Institutional Review Board (IEC/IRB) and the local regulatory authority.

The aim of this study is to investigate whether ingestion of curcumin will prevent hepatic insulin resistance (assessed by homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)) induced by short-term oral glucocorticoid (prednisolone) administration in overweight and obese participants. As a secondary endpoint it will be investigated if prednisolone administration induce or worsen the degree of NAFLD in overweight or obese participants using magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy (MRS), and if curcumin can ameliorate this effect. Also, the possible anti-inflammatory effect of curcumin will be elucidated as a range of inflammatory markers before and after intervention will be measured. Thus, prednisolone treatment is used as a model of development of pre-diabetes.

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a relationship between daily consumption of NRPT, over a six-month (26-week) period, and changes in liver fat accumulation, compared to placebo and change from Baseline in healthy volunteers. In addition, an exploratory assessment of markers of inflammation and liver fat metabolism will be examined.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a frequent disease affecting up to 25% of the USA population, 2-44% in Europe and up to 42,6-69,5% in patients with type 2 diabetes. It is a disease that could progress from simple steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), hepatic cirrhosis and hepatocarcinoma. NASH is part of continuum of metabolic syndrome and constitutes a serious public health concern manifesting by premature cardiovascular disease, end stage diabetes complication and will likely become the first cause of end stage liver disease. Insuline resistance is the hallmark of NASH. Some recent studies both in animals and humans have demonstrated abnormal hypertrophy of the duodenal mucosa, changes in enteroendocrine cell density and number, endocrine hyperplasia, and alterations in gut hormone signaling highlighting the role of the upper intestine gut in glucose homeostasis and thus insulin sensitizing. Given these physiological and pathophysiological features, abrasion of duodenal mucosa was assessed both in animals and humans. The investigators reported an improvement in both glucose homeostasis and transaminases levels suggesting possibly an improvement of NASH. Until now, lifestyle medication is the only recognized efficient treatment for fatty liver disease. Unfortunately, only a minority of patients achieve a significant weight loss and lifestyle modifications. The investigators aim to study the duodenal mucosal resurfacing procedure in patients with NASH biopsy proven in a proof of concept study allowing to assess this technique as a potential treatment to NASH.

The primary objectives of this study are: To assess the safety and tolerability of selonsertib (SEL), firsocostat (FIR) and cilofexor (CILO), administered alone or in combination, in participants with bridging fibrosis or compensated cirrhosis due to NASH To evaluate changes in liver fibrosis, without worsening of NASH

Non-alcoholic steato-hepatitis (NASH) affects up to 3% of the population and leads to liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and death. The only known treatment is weight loss and exercise. Many patients cannot or will not achieve this with conventional means. The pathogenic process of the disease is insulin resistance which can be reversed relatively quickly with intense exercise or electrical stimulation of muscle. Most patients cannot achieve or sustain the level of aerobic exercise required; resistance exercise is more sustainable and similarly effective. The aim of this pilot study is to investigate whether electro-muscle stimulation, designed to emulate resistance exercise, resolves NASH in patients and moves them to a less dangerous metabolic steady state which should be easier to maintain.
