Active clinical trials for "Fatty Liver"

This study will compare the effects of AXA1125, an orally active mixture of amino acids, compared to placebo, on improving fat and inflammation (steatohepatitis) as well as fibrosis in subjects with non alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). as well as the safety and tolerability of AXA1125. Subjects will take one of two different doses of AXA1125 or a placebo twice daily, and a liver biopsy will be done at the beginning and end of the 48-week study.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a growing epidemic in the United States. Despite this, the treatment options remain limited. Preclinical and preliminary clinical data suggest that estrogen deficiency plays an important role in the pathology of steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), the progressive form of NAFLD. Post-menopausal women are a growing population with particularly high risk of NASH due to their lack of estrogen. This study will examine the effect of estradiol on hepatic fibrosis and fat in post-menopausal women with NASH.

Diseases along the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease spectrum, which are tightly coupled to the obesity epidemic, are soon to become the commonest indication for liver transplantation in the United States. Bariatric surgery shows great promise in the treatment of these diseases. The studies proposed herein will be the first to measure in humans the relationships among (i) the liver's ability to burn fat and make glucose, two of its primary functions; (ii) the severity of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease; and (iii) the responses to bariatric surgery. These experiments will support deeper future mechanistic investigations of the metabolic mechanisms underlying nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) improvement with bariatric surgery. The premise of this study is that deranged hepatic mitochondrial metabolism is a key biomarker and mediator of the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/NASH continuum, and the central hypothesis the investigators will test is that preoperative hepatic fat oxidation and glucose production flux parameters differ between low versus high NAFLD activity score (NAS), and response of the liver to bariatric surgery can be predicted by preoperative fluxes.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter trial. Participants will be in the trial for up to 24 weeks, including a screening period lasting up to 8 weeks, a 12-week treatment period, and a 4-week safety follow-up period Participants are not expected to directly benefit from treatment during this trial. Participants will help researchers learn more about and how to develop AZD4831 to treat NASH.

This is a proof of concept clinical trial to compare daily intake of at least 20 grams of whole dairy fat vs habitual diet on hepatic steatosis in children with NAFLD.

In non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), it is established that calorie restriction is the most essential dietary modification. The time-restricted diet is successful lowering total calorie consumption and insulin resistance, and is anticipated to be beneficial for patients with NAFLD. Therefore, this study aims to conduct a prospective study to determine the effect of time-restricted diet via a mobile application on the amount of intrahepatic fat and 10-year cardiovascular disease risk in patients with NAFLD.

Effect of N-acetyl cysteine on markers of oxidative stress and insulin resistance in patients with Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

The purpose of this study is to measure improvements in liver fibrosis and inflammation with GSK4532990 compared with placebo in participants with NASH and advanced (F3) fibrosis. The study duration will be up to 76 weeks including the screening period. The treatment duration will be up to 52 weeks.

This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of HEC96719 in non-cirrhotic NASH patients.
