Active clinical trials for "Fatty Liver"

the goal of this study (observational study ) is to learn about the subclinical cardiovascular changes in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver . the main questions it aims to answer are the role of speckle tracking echocardiogram in detection of subclinical cardiovascular complication in NAFLD patients the role of fibroscan in diagnosis of nonalcoholic fatty liver the participant will be examined by fibroscan and speckle tracking echocardiogram

This study aim to find out metabolic molecules in blood and urine which could identify high risk of advanced fibrosis in MAFLD patients via NMR-based metabolic profiling.

CM-101 is developed as treatment for medical conditions involving inflammatory and fibrotic mechanisms such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and systemic sclerosis (SSc). In this current study, the IP is tested in healthy male volunteers.

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in Western countries and one of the leading causes of liver transplantation in the world. Its spectrum ranges from simple steatosis to decompensated cirrhosis, resulting from progressive fibrosis due to inflammation and cellular injury. The reasons why patients with the same degree of steatosis have different evolutions are not sufficiently known. The objective of this project is to identify biomarkers that predict disease progression, using omics techniques, which can serve to develop new therapeutic strategies.

Metabolic and cardio-vascular complications can often appear in overweight and obese children from an early age. Currently, there are few studies in the specialized literature that correlate clinical, biological and ultrasound parameters in order to stratify cardio-metabolic risk in obese children. Also, the specialized literature is poor regarding longitudinal follow-up and the importance of diet for reducing metabolic and cardiovascular complications in these children. This study is designed to assess the hypothesis that the sustained improvement of lifestyle with regard to nutrition and exercise can reverse cardiometabolic multimorbidities in obese children as assessed by clinical, biological and ultrasound evaluation.

The goal of this clinical trial study is to investigate comparing Effects of Beetroot juice and Mediterranean diet on Liver Enzymes and Sonographic appearance in Patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Beetroot juice has role in reduce Liver Enzymes Mediterranean diet has role in reduce Liver Enzymes

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of tocotrienol-rich fraction vitamin E supplementation on liver enzymes in overweight and obese children with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease as compared to placebo. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Does supplementation of tocotrienol-rich fraction vitamin E reduce the level of liver enzymes and improve liver steatosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease among overweight and obese children? Does tocotrienol-rich fraction vitamin E supplementation improve the level of liver steatosis by reducing the level of DNA damage? Participants will : consume daily either a dose of 50 mg of tocotrienol-rich fraction (TRF) vitamin E or a placebo for 6 months. Routine clinical assessments include weight, height, waist circumference, and BMI. Fasting glucose, and fasting serum lipid. The following investigations were performed upon recruitment and following 6 months of intervention: (i) liver biomarker and enzymes; (ii) DNA damage; (iii) TNFα, IL-6 and IFN-gamma genes; (iv) Fibroscan.

This is a single centre, open label, randomized, 3 treatment arms, with and without food dosing, Phase 1b pharmacology study to assess the safety, tolerability, Pharmacokinetics (PK) and Pharmacodynamics (PD) of Farnesoid X Receptor (FXR) agonist/modulator EYP001a in healthy volunteers and Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) patients.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of study drug(s) in participants with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

Effective combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) has resulted in a dramatic reduction in AIDS mortality. Over the last decade, the proportion of deaths caused by liver-related etiologies, including co-infection with hepatitis C (HCV) and hepatitis B (HBV) viruses, alcohol abuse, and fatty liver, has increased between 8 to 10 fold in the post-cART era while AIDS-related mortality has fallen more than 90-fold. HIV infection without viral hepatitis is also at risk for liver disease. Indeed, HIV mono-infected persons experience common conditions, such as obesity, diabetes and dyslipidemia, which are risk factors for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD is the most common liver disease in Canada. It is a fatty infiltration of the liver that is not evolutive per se, but it is the first histopathological step for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a progressive disease characterized by much inflammation leading to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. NASH may be frequent in the setting of HIV mono-infection due to excess of metabolic risk factors, long-term cART, HIV itself and lipodystrophy. An early diagnosis of NASH is essential to establish a prognosis and initiate interventions to reduce progression of liver disease towards cirrhosis. Early diagnosis of NASH is critical for targeting metabolic and hepatologic interventions, which can impact on progression to cirrhosis and end-stage complications. Non-invasive tools for liver fibrosis and NASH, including Fibroscan/CAP and CK-18, are accurate and ideal for screening and serial monitoring. No study has specifically targeted the non-invasive diagnosis of NASH in HIV mono-infected patients. There has been no study about the use of CK-18 as a biomarker for NASH in the setting of HIV mono-infection. Furthermore, CAP has never been applied to this specific population. Finally, there is no data about the potential beneficial therapeutic effect of vitamin E on NASH associated to HIV infection. The investigators hypothesize that CK-18 and Fibroscan/CAP can be used as non-invasive tests to diagnose NASH in HIV mono-infected persons. Likewise, the investigators hypothesize that there will be a significant prevalence of NASH diagnosed by non-invasive tools among patients with HIV mono-infection. The investigators further hypothesize that a 6 months treatment trial with vitamin E supplementation will improve non-invasive diagnostic tests, and/or the metabolic and hepatic profile in HIV mono-infected patients with a non-invasive diagnosis of NASH.
