Active clinical trials for "Fatty Liver"

The purpose is to assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacodynamics effect of IONIS DGAT2Rx in up to 45 Adult Patients with Type 2 Diabetes.

This study will provide data on the switch from a protease inhibitor or efavirenz to the new formulation of raltegravir (RAL) dosed once daily. The study group consists of patients with metabolic risk factors and co-morbidities, in need of optimization of their current ART to minimize the drug-related metabolic side effects as standard of care. The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether switching a protease inhibitor (PI) or efavirenz to raltegravir once daily reduces liver fat in patients who are overweight or obese and have at least one metabolic syndrome component. For this purpose, the liver fat content will be analyzed using the proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. In addition, the aim is to clarify the change in the body composition and metabolism in this study group. For this purpose the visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) volumes will be measured and subcutaneous tissue samples will be collected for future analyses of adipose tissue function.

Part 1: This is a multi-center evaluation of BIO89-100 (administered weekly or every other week) in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study administered for 12 weeks in subjects with NASH and NAFLD at high risk of NASH, including a pre-defined number of subjects with biopsy confirmed NASH and fibrosis stages F1-F3 to be enrolled Part 2: This is a multi-center, open label evaluation of BIO89-100 at 27 mg administered weekly for 20 weeks in subjects with biopsy-poven NASH (NAS ≥4, fibrosis stage F2 or F3)

A multi-center evaluation of aldafermin in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in subjects with compensated cirrhosis.

A double-blind placebo controlled randomized Phase 3 study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of once-daily, oral administration of 80 or 100 mg resmetirom versus matching placebo. At least 100 patients will be enrolled in a 100 mg open-label arm and will include a special safety population (eg, patients with compensated NASH cirrhosis).

The purpose of this sub-study of MB130-045 is to determine the pharmacokinetic effects, pharmacodynamic effects, efficacy and safety of BMS-986036 20 mg QD in subjects with Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH)

Purpose of the study will investigate the effects of two different training programs on hepatic steatosis and physical fitness parameters. This trial is designed in a randomized controlled study plan and aerobic training (40 minutes) wil be combined with Whole Body Vibration Training (WBVT for 15 minutes) which is made up of a shorter time application. WBVT to be applied instead of the resistance exercises.

SwissChronoFood - Study of eating patterns with a smartphone app and the metabolic effects of time restricted feeding in metabolic syndrome The purpose of this study is to assess eating patterns among teenagers and adults with a new method, going beyond the pen-and-paper food diaries, and to investigate whether time restricted feeding leads to weight loss, improvement in lipid and glucose metabolism in individuals with components of the metabolic syndrome

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a progressive liver disease ranging from simple steatosis to cirrhosis of the liver. Nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) without substantial hepatocellular injury is thought to be relatively benign whereas nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is characterized by hepatocyte steatosis, ballooning, inflammation and varying degrees of fibrosis from none to cirrhosis. NASH is strongly associated with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome and thus is recognized as a major public health concern as the most prevalent liver disease. Liver biopsy is the gold standard for a diagnosis of NASH. However, given the large population of patients at risk for NASH, liver biopsy is not a practical method for determining which patients may benefit from NASH therapy. Non-invasive methods to estimate inflammation and fibrosis are in clinical use, but there remains a dichotomy between gold standard inclusion criteria and end points that are utilized in clinical trials and real world diagnostic methods that are more common in clinical practice. Thus, the investigators would like to conduct an observational study to head-to-head compare the non-invasive methods and liver biopsy in differential liver steatosis and liver biopsy in a real-world setting. Also, by following up patients for a relatively long time (proposed 10 years), the investigators can present the natural history of disease progression.

This observational study aims to learn about the correlation between the improving comorbidities associated with obesity after MGB (Mini-Gastric Bypass) surgery and changes in body composition in morbidly obese patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: To study the correlation between the improving comorbidities associated with obesity after MGB(Mini-Gastric Bypass) surgery and changes in body composition. Other objectives are: Changes in the parameters of the metabolic syndrome after surgery Changes in the cardiovascular risk biomarkers after metabolic surgery Emergence in complications arising out of surgery requiring any intervention or causing a prolonged hospital stay, or requiring additional outpatient visits. Type of Study: An observational study in which participants with morbid obesity will undergo mini-gastric bypass surgery as per routine protocol. No separate experimental interventions will be done in the study for the participants.
