Active clinical trials for "Fatty Liver"

This is a multicenter, Phase IIb, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two Aramchol doses in subjects that are 18 to 75 years of age, with Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) confirmed by liver biopsy performed in a period of 6 months before entering the study, with overweight or obesity and who are pre diabetic or type II diabetic. Eligible subjects will be enrolled into three treatments arms: Aramchol 400 and 600 mg tablets and placebo tablets in ratio 2:2:1. The subjects will be evaluated at study sites for 11 scheduled visits during one year (52 weeks). After completion of the study treatment period, the subjects will be followed for an additional period of 13 weeks without study medication (until visit 11 (week 65)).

The purpose of the study is to see if the drug ezetimibe is a potential treatment for Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis(NASH).

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a clinical/biochemical condition associated with the metabolic syndrome. As the disease stems from excess calorie intake and lack of physical activity, the correction of unhealthy lifestyles is the background of any prevention and treatment strategy

The main research questions are: In hypogonadal men with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), does Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), given for 12 months improve severity of steatosis on liver biopsy (Primary Question)? improve severity of associated steatohepatitis on liver biopsy? reduce liver fat content as assessed by proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1H-MRS)? The work proposed here is an open pilot study of 10 patients, the main aim of which is to assess the effect size of TRT in regard to these end points (regarding which there are no published data), thereby allowing power calculations for a more definitive phase II trial. Other aims would be assessing recruitment and consent rates, which would also inform the design of the larger study.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether exenatide is superior to insulin glargine (after 24 weeks) in reducing liver fat content (by MRS) in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus and concomitant non-alcoholic fatty-liver disease(NAFLD).

This study is designed to study the effect of vitamin D intake on the severity of fatty liver and poor glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of IDN-6556 compared to placebo in patients with diagnosed fat deposits in their liver (not caused by alcohol) and with abnormal liver tests

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has reached epidemic proportions and is rapidly becoming the one of most common causes of chronic liver disease in children. The pathogenesis of NAFLD is generally considered the result of a series of liver injuries, commonly referred as "multi-hit" hypothesis. Several studies suggest that inflammatory pathways and oxidative stress could be responsible of disease progression. The purpose of this interventional study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Vitamin D in children and adolescents with biopsy-proven nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

This clinical study is designed to evaluate the safety and immune modulatory effects of oral administration of the study drug anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (MAb) to subjects with the metabolic syndrome.

This study is to evaluate the effects of Rosiglitazone, insulin sensitizer and alpha-lipoic acid, antioxidant on patients with pathologically proved NASH (non-alcoholic steato-hepatitis).
