One-third of the US population has non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) due to obesity and \~8 million of these individuals have a progressive form of the disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Currently, there are no noninvasive ways to determine which individuals with NAFLD will develop NASH. This is of medical importance since NASH can be a prelude to the development of end-stage liver disease. The study of NAFLD has been limited by several factors, including the difficulties associated with studying liver metabolism in vivo in humans. Our group has pioneered new methods that use nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to measure intermediary hepatic metabolism in humans with a goal of directly studying the pathophysiology of bland steatosis and NASH. In this study, these noninvasive methods will be used to characterize and compare the metabolic alterations that accompany bland steatosis and NASH and test the hypothesis that detects if hepatic mitochondrial metabolism contribute to both disorders. Such characterization is fundamental to establishing a rational approach to the prevention and treatment of NAFLD and may provide simple, non-invasive methods to differentiate benign and progressive forms of NAFLD. This proposal will be addressed via separate isotopic studies occurring at different time points during a prolonged fast. In subjects with NAFLD, these studies will be carried out before and after treatment with Vitamin E or placebo. Healthy subjects will participate in initial baseline studies only without Vitamin E or placebo intervention. The study is designed to harness the physiologic changes that occur with short- and long-term fasting to provide a rapid and cost-effective method to accomplish the aims of the application.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), fatty infiltration of the liver in the absence of alcohol use, is an increasingly recognized complication of obesity, with prevalence estimates of about 30% of individuals in the United States. A subset of these will develop progressive disease in the form of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which can progress to cirrhosis and liver failure. The investigators hypothesize that LUM-201 (Ibutamoren mesylate) will decrease intrahepatic lipid accumulation as quantified by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS).
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a spectrum of liver conditions associated with fat accumulation that ranges from benign, non-progressive liver fat accumulation to severe liver injury, cirrhosis, and liver failure. The spectrum of NAFLD encompasses simple nonalcoholic steatosis (nonalcoholic fatty liver \[NAFL\]) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in which there is evidence of hepatocellular injury and/or fibrosis. NAFLD is the most common liver disease in adults and the second leading cause for liver transplantation in the U.S. The natural history of NAFLD in the general population has been well described. The NASH Clinical Research Network (NASH CRN) was established by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) in 2002 to further the understanding of the diagnosis, mechanisms, progression and therapies of NASH. This effort has resulted in numerous seminal studies in the field. However, NASH CRN studies have systematically excluded persons living with HIV (PLWH) , as NAFLD in PLWH was thought to be different from that in the general population due to HIV infection, antiretroviral therapy (ART), concomitant medications and co-infections. This resulted in major knowledge gaps regarding NAFLD in the setting of HIV infection. Thus, the natural history of NAFLD in PLWH is largely unknown. The goal of this ancillary study of NAFLD and NASH in Adults with HIV (HIV NASH CRN), is to conduct a prospective, observational, multicenter study of NAFLD in PLWH (HIV-associated NAFLD).
This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-center study using the oral ORMD-0801 insulin formulation in patients with NASH and confirmed type 2 DM.
This study is to evaluate the predictive value of NRL972 pharmacokinetics in the diagnosis of steatohepatitis using fatty liver disease as the comparator group. In addition, the sensitivity and specificity of NRL972 pharmacokinetics as a diagnostic tool will be compared to results from the standard laboratory tests, elastography, tests of metabolic markers and serum fibrosis markers frequently used in the evaluation of clinically predicted NAFLD patients. Patients will be included if they have clinical evidence of fatty liver disease and have been referred to the clinic for a diagnostic work-up, including a liver biopsy, blood tests and scans of the liver.
The current pilot study assesses the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to quantify hepatic steatosis. It will provide preliminary data regarding the use of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation (Lovaza) for the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
A randomized, double-blind study to assess the safety, tolerability, PK and efficacy of CS0159 in subjects with Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH)
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-dosing, multi-center study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Rencofilstat as evidenced by histopathological improvements in fibrosis in adult NASH subjects with F2 or F3 fibrosis (NASH CRN system). Antifibrotic biomarker activity will be evaluated on an exploratory basis.
An Open-Label Part was added: This part will enroll in selected sites which are less affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. 150 subjects with NASH and fibrosis confirmed by liver histology (F1-F3) will be randomized into 3 groups according to the post-baseline biopsy. The objective of the Open-Label Part is: * To evaluate the safety and PK of twice daily administration (BID) of Aramchol 300mg in subjects with NASH and liver fibrosis. * To explore the kinetics of histological outcome measures and Non-Invasive Tests (NITs) associated with NASH and fibrosis for the treatment duration of 24, 48 and 72 weeks. All patients will be allocated to Aramchol. Double Blind Part: This part is double blind, placebo controlled randomized in subjects with NASH and fibrosis stages 2-3 who are overweight or obese and have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. The primary objectives of this part of the study are to evaluate the effect of Aramchol as compared to placebo on NASH resolution, fibrosis improvement and clinical outcomes related to progression of liver disease. Subjects will be randomized to receive Aramchol 300mg BID or matching placebo in a 2:1 randomization ratio. This double-blind phase of the study will recruit patients once the study will be continued.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients with stage 1-3 NASH-related fibrosis are able to complete a single vigorous-intensity interval training (VIIT) session on an indoor rowing machine and provide blood samples before and afterwards. The results of this study will provide the foundation for future research on the role of VIIT in treating NASH.
Administration of the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) ligand obeticholic acid (OCA) for 72 weeks to subjects with biopsy evidence of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) will result in improvement in their liver disease as measured by changes in the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) activity score (NAS).
This is a Phase 2a Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Efficacy, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of Orally Administered TERN-501 as Monotherapy as well as in Combination with TERN-101 in Noncirrhotic Adults with Presumed Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH)

This seamless, adaptive, two-stage, Phase 2b/3, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, parallel-groups, placebo-controlled study will assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of belapectin compared with placebo in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) cirrhosis and clinical signs of portal hypertension but without esophageal varices at baseline.
This study is open to adults who are at least 18 years old and have * presumed or confirmed NASH together with overweight or obesity and * a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or more, or * a BMI of 27 kg/m² and at least one weight-related health problem. People with a history of other chronic liver diseases cannot take part in this study. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called survodutide helps people living with obesity or overweight and a confirmed or presumed liver disease called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) to have less liver fat and to lose weight. Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. 1 group gets different doses of survodutide and 1 group gets placebo. Placebo looks like survodutide but does not contain any medicine. Every participant has a 2 in 3 chance of getting survodutide. Participants and doctors do not know who is in which group. Participants inject survodutide or placebo under their skin once a week for about 1 year. In addition to the study medicine, all participants receive counselling to make changes to their diet and to exercise regularly. Participants are in the study for about 1 year and 3 months. During this time, it is planned that participants visit the study site up to 14 times and receive 3 phone calls by the site staff. The doctors check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects. The participants' body weight is regularly measured. At 3 of the visits, the participants' liver is measured using different imaging methods. The results are compared between the groups to see whether the treatment works.
This study is researching an experimental drug called ALN-PNP (called "study drug"). This is a first in human study. The study drug is not approved by any public health agency such as the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for any kind of treatment. Part A is focused on healthy participants. Part B of the study is focused on participants who are known to have NAFLD and a specific variant of the PNPLA3 gene. The aim of the study is to see how safe, tolerable and effective the study drug is. Part A is looking at several other research questions, including: * What side effects may happen from taking the study drug * How much study drug is in the blood at different times * Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the study drug less effective or could lead to side effects) * Explore impact of Japanese ethnicity on safety and PK (pharmacokinetics, or study of what the body does to the drug) of single doses of ALN-PNP over time Part B is looking at several other research questions, including: * What side effects may happen from taking the study drug * How the study drug works to change liver fat content in NAFLD * How much study drug and study drug metabolites (byproduct of the body breaking down the study drug) are in your blood at different times * Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects) * Better understanding of the study drug and NAFLD
This is a two-part study. In Part A, eligible participants will undergo a baseline diagnostic liver biopsy to determine non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) Activity Score (NAS) and fibrosis stage, but will not receive study intervention. In Part B, participants with histologically confirmed NAFLD or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) will receive study intervention.
Collection of clinical and genetic data to help identify individuals that carry genetic variants of known importance in Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH)
This study is open to adults with liver cirrhosis caused by hepatitis B, hepatitis C or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). People can join this study if they have high blood pressure in the portal vein (main vessel going to the liver). The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called Avenciguat (BI 685509) taken alone or in combination with a medicine called empagliflozin helps people with this condition. Participants take Avenciguat (BI 685509) as tablets twice a day for 8 weeks. Half of the participants with NASH who also have type 2 diabetes take empagliflozin as tablets once a day in addition to Avenciguat (BI 685509). Participants are in the study for about 3 months. During this time, they visit the study site about 10 times. At 2 of the visits, the doctors check the pressure in a liver vein to see whether the treatment works. This is done with a catheter (a long thin tube) and gives information about the pressure in the portal vein. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
The prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD ) in the American population is approximately 30% in adults and 10% in children, making it the most common. Cause of chronic liver disease in the United States. Although the majority of patients with NAFLD have a benign clinical course, the development of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH ), with necro-inflammation and progressive fibrosis, increases the risk for development of cirrhosis and its complications. Among patients with NASH, approximately 28% develop cirrhosis over an 8-year follow-up period. NASH and advanced fibrosis is associated with increased morbidity and mortality among those patients with advanced histologic severity such as NASH and fibrosis the gold standard for diagnosing and staging NAFLD is liver biopsy. Liver biopsy is associated with costs and risks that make it impractical for generalized use in a condition that affects such a high portion of the population. Furthermore, liver biopsy is also limited by significant sampling error in NAFLD. Thus, there is a pressing need for accurate non-invasive predictors of NAFLD that would also allow differentiation of those subjects at higher risk of disease progression. At present, in the clinical setting, some demographic factors, blood tests, and imaging studies can be used to predict a higher risk of disease in patients being evaluated for NAFLD. These predictors, however, are of limited sensitivity and specificity compared with liver biopsy. The development and validation of accurate predictors and scoring systems to identify patients at higher risk for NASH and fibrosis would allow identification of subjects who would benefit the most from liver biopsy and potentially help monitor disease
This study is being done to see if a combination of 2 medicines (called NNC0194-0499 and semaglutide) can reduce liver damage in patients with non alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). NNC0194-0499 is a new medicine which works in the liver. Semaglutide is a well-known medicine, which is already used by doctors to treat type 2 diabetes in many countries. It also helps with weight loss and may reduce liver damage, and so prevent future liver complications. It works in a different way to NNC0194 0499. The 2 medicines may work better together than on their own. The study will also look at a combination of semaglutide and another weight-loss medicine called NNC0174-0833, which may be another treatment option for NASH. Each week, participants will get 2 injections. These could be 2 of the 3 medicines OR 1 of the medicines and a placebo OR 2 placebo injections. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. A placebo is a dummy medicine which looks like the real medicine but doesn't contain any active medicine. The study will last for about 19 months. Participants will have 14 clinic visits and 9 phone calls with the study doctor. Participants will have 1 or 2 liver biopsies (tiny pieces of liver tissue) - one at the start (if participants have not had a biopsy recently) and one at the end of the study treatment. Women: Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period.
