Active clinical trials for "Liver Diseases"

The aim is to determine the metabolic factors, host immune factors, and medical imaging data associated with the development of HepatoCellular Carcinoma (HCC) in patients with alcohol-related liver disease or dysmetabolic steatosis/Non-Alcoholic SteatoHepatitis. The investigators will include patients with and without cirrhosis in order to identify early molecular mechanisms involved in the development of HCC especially in non-cirrhotic patients.

The non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is increasing and associated with obesity, diabetes and hyperlipidemia in recent years. Aerobic exercise indeed reduces adipose, hepatic insulin resistance and hepatic fat. However, diaphragmatic breathing improves cardiopulmonary function, the oxygen content of the body and therefore reduces inflammation of cells. The aim of this study is to ameliorate hepatic inflammation by using diaphragmatic breathing exercises instead of aerobic exercise to reduce the fat in liver inflammation.

The primary objective of this multiple-dose, adaptive design study is to evaluate the effect of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of relacorilant relative to healthy matched control male and female subjects (Part 1).

This is an open-label, single-dose, single-period, parallel group designed study to determine the effect of mild and moderate hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of CTP-543 and its major metabolites following administration of a single 12 mg oral dose of CTP-543.

Ectopic fat is the accumulation of adipose tissue in anatomical sites not classically associated with fat storage - for example, in the liver and skeletal muscles. Excessive fat accumulation in liver cells, often diagnosed as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is a precursor to a wide range of liver conditions and metabolic disorders. The usual standard of care for NAFLD is to advise weight loss through controlled diet and physical activity, but the outcome of weight management and treatment of NAFLD is highly variable. Diet interventions - such as the Mediterranean, ketogenic, paleo, and high-protein-low-carbohydrate diets - have shown varied benefits in the management of NAFLD. However, food-based interventions must align with cultural and regional preferences in food to succeed in making the modifications part of the habitual diet. A recent diet intervention study (Della Pepa et al., 2020) highlighted that the components of a diet, rather than its caloric content, play a greater role in achieving healthier outcomes. In this study, a multifactorial diet intervention using locally sourced and produced meals will be implemented with the aim of reducing elevated liver fat content in healthy women diagnosed with NAFLD. The study will also evaluate the effects of the proposed diet on the participants' metabolic health and describe potential changes in their gut microbiome signatures (via frequent stool samples). The dysregulation of the gut microbiota has been linked to the development of NAFLD and it is known that the composition of the gut microbiota could be modified by dietary intake. This study will investigate the association of gut microbiome signatures with elevated liver fat in Asian women and test whether the dietary intervention will modify their gut microbiota. Finally, ectopic fat in the liver is a highly prevalent condition worldwide but the cut-off values for NAFLD has been largely derived from studies performed in Western populations. This study seeks to cross examine the diagnostic ranges in various clinical assessments of NAFLD that commonly involve ultrasound spectroscopy (Fibroscan), fatty liver indexes (FLI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). This effort seeks to derive appropriate cut-off values for NAFLD in Singaporean-Chinese women.

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of aromatherapy massage on itching, comfort, skin pH level and skin moisture in individuals with liver disease. Research Hypotheses: H1: Aromatherapy massage has an effect on the level of itching in individuals with itchy liver disease. H2: Aromatherapy massage has an effect on the general comfort level in individuals with itchy liver disease, H3: Aromatherapy massage has an effect on skin pH level in individuals with itchy liver disease. H4: Aromatherapy massage has an effect on skin moisture in individuals with itchy liver disease.

This is a single center, open-label, non-randomized, 1:1 parallel control and single dose administration study design. Healthy subjects will be matched to moderate hepatic function impaired (Child-Pugh B，7-9) subjects in age, gender and weight as parallel control, which matches healthy with normal hepatic function according to the of subjects with impaired hepatic function as, after enrollment of subjects with moderate impaired hepatic function (Child-Pugh B，7-9). Hepatic function impaired group and control group both receive orally single-dose of nemonoxacin malate capsule (0.5g). Collect the blood and urine samples before and after the administration to perform pharmacokinetic analysis and safety observation.

This multiple-center, nonrandomized, open label, parallel group, single dose study will be conducted in male and female subjects with normal hepatic function or moderate (Child-Pugh Class B) hepatic impairment to evaluate the effect of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of TD-4208.

The primary objective is to determine the single-dose pharmacokinetics (PK) of T-817 and T-817M5 (metabolite of T-817) in subjects with mild, moderate or severe hepatic impairment compared to matched healthy control subjects. The secondary objective is to determine the safety and tolerability of single-dose T -817MA (Maleate salt of T-817) in subjects with mild, moderate or severe hepatic impairment.
