Active clinical trials for "Liver Diseases"

The effects of empagliflozin treatment on hepatocellular lipid content, liver energy metabolism and body composition will be investigated in a multicentre, prospective, placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized, 2-arm parallel, interventional and exploratory pilot study in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes.

The clinicopathological analyses revealed that reduction in HbA1c and use of insulin independently contribute to the reduction in liver fibrosis scores during the histological course of NAFLD development. These findings led us to hypothesize that glycemic control and insulin ameliorate or protect against the histological progression of liver fibrosis in patients with NAFLD. In the present study, we investigated the efficacy of SGLT2 inhibitor tofogliflozin and sulfonylurea glimepiride, which lower glucose levels similarly with reduction and elevation in circulating insulin levels, respectively, in NAFLD patients with type 2 diabetes for 48 weeks by examining liver histology, as well as hepatic enzymes, metabolic markers, and hepatic gene expression profiles.

This study will investigate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of VK2809 in lowering LDL-C and liver fat content in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia and fatty liver disease. The primary efficacy endpoint is percent change from baseline LDL-C at the end of the treatment period (Week 12). Secondary endpoints include effects on liver fat content and other liver and lipid markers, as well as effects on safety and tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) measurements.

The purpose of this study is the evaluation of the effects in obese patients with metabolic syndrome on the composition of the intestinal microbiota, markers of the syndrome (hypertension, dyslipidemia, inflammation biomarkers, risk cardiovascular and hepatic steatosis) and other possible metabolites involved.

Pilot study to investigate the effect of choline chloride in cystic fibrosis patients with liver steatosis by comparing their status before and after the intervention

BRB-018-001 is a multicenter, adaptive design, randomized, parallel group study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of repeat IV doses of RYI-018 in subjects with NAFLD.

Daprodustat (GSK1278863), is a small molecule currently in development for the treatment of anemia of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Results of the earlier studies shows that liver is involved in the clearance of Daprodustat and hence, hepatic impairment can affect Daprodustat levels in the body. This single dose study will assess the effect of liver impairment on the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of daprodustat. The study will be conducted in two parts, Part 1 will include subjects with moderate hepatic impairment and matched healthy control subjects whereas Part 2 will include subjects will either mild or severe hepatic impairment and matched healthy control subjects. Approximately 8 subjects will be included in each of the group and all subjects will receive 6 milligram (mg) of daprodustat as a single oral dose in the fasted state. Total duration of participation in the study for a subject will be up to 7 weeks.

This study design to examine performance of trigonella foenum-graecum (TFG) in treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Base on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 50 patients select and then randomize into intervention and control groups. Two group use capsules which contain TFG or placebo, respectively.

This study is a double-blind randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, 12 week study performed in 2 centres in Sweden to assess the effect of Omega-3 carboxylic acids and fenofibrate on liver fat measured with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with over-weight and hypertriglyceridemia.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the effects of exercise on functional status and outcomes on patients with end-stage liver disease on the liver transplant waiting list and who have undergone liver transplantation.
