Active clinical trials for "Liver Diseases"

The prevention and treatment of metabolic-related fatty liver disease (MAFLD) involves many fields in preventive medicine and clinical medicine. So far, western medicine has not yet completed the elucidation of the mechanism of this type of disease, and there is a lack of effective therapeutic drugs.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of limonene capsules (marketed product in China) in the treatment of metabolic-related fatty liver disease and related lipid-lowering mechanisms.

This clinical trial is designed to assess the effect of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic of glufast tablets 10 mg.

This study evaluates efficacy of Phosphatidylcholine in addition to life style modification and patient health education by clinical Pharmacist in the Management of Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver NAFLD. All participants with NAFLD will receive life style intervention and half of them will receive additionally Phosphatidylcholine.

A Phase 1, Multicenter, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Effect of Mild, Moderate, and Severe Hepatic Impairment on the Single-Dose Pharmacokinetics of Sitravatinib

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single oral dose of JNJ-56136379 in participants with liver cirrhosis and impaired hepatic function when compared with healthy participants with normal hepatic function and no liver cirrhosis.

This study will evaluate changes in liver fat content following multiple oral doses of MK-4074 and Pioglitazone Hydrochloride in adult males and females with fatty liver disease. The primary hypothesis of the study is that a multiple-dose administration of MK-4074 200 mg twice daily for 4 weeks results in a decrease in hepatic fat content with respect to placebo in adult male and female participants with hepatic steatosis (i.e., on order of 50% reduction in hepatic fat with respect to placebo is expected).

The purpose of this study is: To assess the pharmacokinetics of the hydrocodone bitartrate extended-release tablet in subjects with moderate hepatic impairment and in subjects with normal hepatic function. To assess the safety and tolerability of the hydrocodone bitartrate extended-release tablet in subjects with moderate hepatic impairment and in subjects with normal hepatic function.

The central hypothesis of this proposal is that a reduction in hepatic mitochondrial function is the main pathophysiology behind NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) and NASH (Non alcoholic steatohepatitis). The investigators further hypothesize that lifestyle modifications through aerobic exercise training without weight loss or diet-induced weight loss are effective in reducing NAFLD parameters by improving hepatic mitochondrial content and function in human subjects. The investigators propose a randomized, controlled human clinical trial to compare the effects of aerobic exercise training (without weight loss) versus diet-induced weight loss (without exercise) in individuals who have NAFLD or liver biopsy-confirmed NASH

This prospective, randomized study is intended to assess the efficacy and safety of bilateral continuous paravertebral blocks compared to continuous epidural block for open liver resection. Hypotheses: Bilateral paravertebral blocks are: 1) equally effective in controlling the perioperative pain; and 2) safe, with less frequent complications following open liver resection when compared to continuous epidural block.

Background/Aims: The investigators explored the therapeutic effects of probiotics in patients with AH. Methods: Between September 2010 and April 2012, the investigators conducted a 7-day, double-controlled, randomized, prospective clinical trial comparing the efficacy of probiotics in improving liver enzymes, LPS, pro-inflammatory cytokines. AH was defined as an aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 2 and elevated AST (ALT) level with an alcohol consumption history within 48 hours. Patients were randomized to receive 7 days of probiotics (1500 mg/day) or placebo. The levels of liver enzymes, modified Discriminant Function (mDF), LPS, and pro-inflammatory cytokines were checked at baseline and again after therapy.
