Active clinical trials for "Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease"

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is one of the most prevalent chronic liver diseases in Brazil and its treatment is still limited. Thus, this project aims to conduct a double-blind, controlled, randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effect of silymarin on laboratory markers and clinical evolution of adult patients with NAFLD treated at Edgard Santos Hospital, as well as identify the dietary pattern of these individuals.

This is a treatment study to determine if reducing the body's iron stores by blood donation will improve diabetes control and other problems associated with diabetes such as fatty liver disease.

The primary aim is to establish the safety, efficacy and mechanism of action of lanifibranor in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Specifically, to determine if lanifibranor decreases intrahepatic triglycerides (IHTG) (primary endpoint), improves hepatic insulin sensitivity, endogenous (hepatic) glucose production, de novo lipogenesis (DNL), HbA1c and lipid profiles. In addition, exploratory analysis with surrogate plasma biomarkers and imaging on liver fibrosis changes on with treatment will be performed.

Given the current increase in the incidence of dyslipidemia and obesity in the general population, there is a strong interest in identifying dietary factors capable of preventing the onset of metabolic diseases or at least capable of reducing metabolic risk. Several experimental evidences have shown that improving the carbohydrate and lipid profile in subjects at risk can reduce mortality linked to cardiovascular, neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. The diet is, therefore, an effective prevention tool in combating diseases related to metabolism, such as MAFLD (Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease). In particular, fruit with its high content of polyphenols has been shown to exert a high anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic and antiproliferative action. Polyphenols extracted from oranges of the "Tacle" variety have demonstrated in vitro an inhibitory action of cholesterol synthesis. In addition, the consumption of orange juice has been shown to improve the serum lipid profile of obese subjects, as well as "hesperedine", a flavonoid mainly present in oranges is able to reduce the proliferative activity of MCF-7 (human breast cancer cell line with estrogen, progesterone and glucocorticoid receptors) cells.

The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of miricorilant following a single oral dose by comparing participants with normal hepatic function with participants with moderate hepatic impairment with or without nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

This is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose and multiple ascending dose study of ECC4703 in healthy volunteers and participants with treatment unnecessary LDL-C under 160 mg/dL

To examine the effect of dasatinib plus quercetin on liver fibrosis in individuals with biopsy proven NAFLD with fibrosis by performing a double-blind randomized controlled proof-of-principle study

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin on liver function of patient with NAFLD and T2DM.

Several diets have been proposed to reduce liver steatosis in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and various effects on liver steatosis have been observed. The objective of this trial is to compare the effects of intermittent calorie restriction (ICR) (5:2 diet) and standard-of-care (SoC) on reduction of hepatic steatosis.

This study is open to adults with overweight or obesity who also have fatty liver disease. The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of BI 3006337 that people with overweight or obesity and with fatty liver disease can tolerate. Participants are divided into 4 groups of equal size randomly, which means by chance. Different doses of BI 3006337 are given to participants in each group. Participants in each group receive an injection of either BI 3006337 or placebo once a week. Placebo injections look like BI 3006337 injections but do not contain any medicine. Participants are in the study for about 4 months. During this time, they visit the study site 18 times. Three of the visits include overnight stays at the study site. The doctors check the health of the participants and note any health problems that could have been caused by BI 3006337.
