Active clinical trials for "Liver Diseases"

Aim of work The aim of our study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of high oral loading dose of inactive vitamin D supplementation on the clinical parameters related to liver steatosis, glycaemic control, insulin resistance and metabolic profile in NAFLD patients

This study aims to examine the comparative effectiveness of different exercise frequencies (once-a-week vs. thrice-a-week) for reducing liver fat in centrally obese adults with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), with weekly exercise volumes aligned with the World Health Organization's physical activity recommendations.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) on endothelial, vascular and myocardial function in patients with NAFLD

End-stage liver disease (ESLD) refers to the late stage of liver disease caused by various chronic liver damage. ESLD is an important cause of global incidence rate and mortality, which has a significant impact on the health care system. ESLD is associated with various types of immune dysfunction. The artificial liver support system (ALSS) is an extracorporeal support system that temporarily and partially replaces the partial function of the liver. Its treatment mechanism is to remove all kinds of harmful substances, supplement essential substances, improve the internal environment, create conditions for hepatocyte regeneration and liver function recovery, or use it as a symptomatic support treatment method during the perioperative period of liver transplantation. In this study, we plan to use BS330 for plasma bilirubin adsorption. On this basis, we will add a CA280 cytokine adsorption column to establish a new artificial liver combination model CABA for the immune inflammatory damage mechanism of liver failure.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of HSK31679 tablets compared with placebo in reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and MRI-PDFF after 12 weeks of treatment in patients with hypercholesterolemia and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

This is a Phase 2, Double-Blind, Randomized, Multicenter, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of ASC41 in Adults with Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH).

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic, metabolic liver disease that is closely related to obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in a bidirectional mode. NAFLD affects approximately 25% of the worldwide population. NAFLD refers to a phenotypic spectrum, including steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis, which can lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in a minority of patients. However, despite its high prevalence, morbidity and mortality, as well as the extensive research in the field, there is not to-date a licensed medication specifically for NAFLD. Emerging evidence supports a potential association between NAFLD and osteoporosis; the prevalence of osteoporosis is probably higher in patients with NAFLD and, vise versa, the prevalence of NAFLD may be higher in patients with osteoporosis. In this context, it has been proposed that certain medications for osteoporosis may also prove to be beneficial to NAFLD. Denosumab, a human monoclonal IgG2 antibody against the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) ligand (RANKL), is currently an established treatment for osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases. The axis RANKL-receptor activator of nuclear factor NF-κB (RANK)-osteoprotegerin (OPG) has been demonstrated as a key regulator of bone metabolism and, when dysregulated, it contributes to the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases. Interestingly, experimental studies have shown that circulating and hepatic RANKL may be upregulated in mice with diet-induced NAFLD, rendering RANKL a potential contributor to the pathogenesis of NAFLD, and ideally, a promising pharmacological target. On the other hand, bisphosphonates, another established, first-line treatment for osteoporosis, are expected to have no significant effect on hepatic metabolism in patients with NAFLD due to their pharmacokinetics and mechanism of action. This is a prospective non-randomized study which aims to investigate the comparative effect of denosumab versus bisphosphonates on hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis and concomitant NAFLD.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the most prevalent liver disorder in China. The aim of this project is to evaluate the effects of compound silymarin on biomarkers of lipid metabolism and inflammation in the patients with NAFLD.

In this study, a single dose of VIR-2218 up to 200 mg SC or VIR-3434 at 300 mg SC monotherapy or a combination of VIR-2218 and VIR-3434 will be administered to assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) exposure, safety, and tolerability of VIR-2218 and VIR-3434 in participants with cirrhosis and Hepatic Impairment, defined using the Child-Pugh-Turcotte (CPT) categorization.

Multicenter trial on the effect of the GnRH analogue leuprorelin on the growth of total liver volume in pre-menopausal women with very severe polycystic liver disease who, despite available therapy, experience growth and are heading for liver transplantation.
