Active clinical trials for "Liver Diseases"

This study is conducted to test the hypothesis that in type 2 diabetic adults with fatty liver who are resistant to metformin, treatment with liraglutide in combination with metformin will cause an absolute reduction in liver fat superior to insulin-metformin treatment within a 3-month period, as measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

The purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) of preladenant after administration of a single 5 mg oral dose of preladenant in participants with hepatic impairment and healthy volunteers. Part 1 of this study compares healthy volunteers with participants with mild hepatic impairment. Part 2 compares healthy volunteers with participants with moderate hepatic impairment. Healthy volunteers in each part of this study are to be matched with participants with hepatic impairment by race, age, gender, and body mass index (BMI). The primary hypotheses are that in participants with mild or moderate HI, the area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 extrapolated to time of the last quantifiable concentration (AUC0-t) of preladenant is similar to that observed in matched healthy volunteers, so that the mean ratio of hepatic impaired/healthy is contained within the interval [0.50, 2.00].

The purpose of this study is to test a novel distance-based (telephone) intervention to help transplant candidates with current or recent substance abuse to stay "clean and sober" both prior and following transplant surgery.

This is a study of experimental medication BMS-986036 given to adults with Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH; the buildup of fat and inflammation in the liver that is not caused by alcohol) and liver cirrhosis (liver damage characterized by normal liver tissue being replaced by scar tissue).

This study is investigate the influence of severe hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of acalabrutinib and its metabolite.

This study evaluates the influence of vitamin D in reducing laboratory, elastographic (Fibroscan) and metabolic components of NAFLD. Half of the patients will receive vitamin D (Plivit D3) while the other half will receive placebo

This study is designed to generate the first human evidence to date on microbiota encroachment in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. In parallel, the investigators will establish a biobank that will allow future studies to reveal how encroachment is connected to host metabolism and liver physiology, including the composition and function of the fecal microbiome.

This is a global, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study using avatrombopag to treat adults with thrombocytopenia associated with liver disease. The study will evaluate avatrombopag in the treatment of thrombocytopenia associated with liver disease prior to an elective procedure to reduce the need for platelet transfusions or any rescue procedure for bleeding due to procedural and post-procedural bleeding complications. Participants will be enrolled into 2 cohorts according to mean baseline platelet count and, within each baseline platelet count cohort will be further stratified by risk of bleeding associated with the elective procedure (low, moderate, or high) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) status (Yes or No).

Dithiolethiones, a novel class of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activators, prevent insulin resistance through AMPK-dependent p70 ribosomal S6 kinase-1 (S6K1) inhibition. And it is well known that the modulation of S6K1 by oltipraz inhibited the development of insulin resistance and hyperglycemia through the AMPK-S6K1 pathway.Also some research reported that LXRg (a member of the nuclear hormone receptor)-mediated increases in SREBP-1c (the sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c gene) promote the expression of lipogenic genes and enhance fatty acid synthesis and oltipraz inhibits LXRg and SREBP-c. Therefore, Oltipraz inhibits fatty acid synthesis through AMPK-S6K1 pathway and LXRg-SREBP-1c pathway in liver.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how much of the study drug SSP-004184 (SPD602) is absorbed by the body and how long it takes to be eliminated from the body in healthy subjects and subjects with mild, moderate, and severe hepatic (liver) impairment compared with subjects with healthy normal liver function.
