This study will enroll patients 18 years and older with diagnosis of NAFLD and or NASH.
To provide a framework for successful clinical trials testing novel targets for therapy in liver disease. To identify molecular and cellular drivers of liver disease to provide a molecular classification and study the determinants or key drivers of disease progression. Consecutive patients admitted with steatohepatitis (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) will be enrolled in this study where liver tissue, blood and stool will be collected to discover and validate factors associated with diagnosis, severity, histological characteristics, development of decompensations, progression of disease and survival.

This is a phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel group study of 3 dose levels of HU6 in subjects with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Six months (26 weeks) of dosing is planned, and subjects will be followed for safety, efficacy, pharmacodynamics (PD), and pharmacokinetics (PK) during this time. The end-of-study visit will take place approximately 4 weeks after the last dose of the study drug (Week 30).
The purpose of this study is to learn how well efinopegdutide works compared to placebo in people who have non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Researchers will also learn about the safety and benefit of efinopegdutide and how well people tolerate the medicine. The main goal of the study is to compare how many people taking efinopegdutide or placebo stop showing evidence of NASH without liver scarring getting worse.
Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) is a condition with increased amount of fat, inflammation and scarring in the liver. In compensated cirrhosis, the liver is coping with this damage and maintaining its important functions. Decompensation occurs when the liver becomes unable to perform all of its functions adequately. Variceal hemorrhage (bleeding from abnormal vessels in the liver called varices), Ascites (abnormal build-up of fluid in the abdomen), and Encephalopathy (brain confusion as a result of the liver not being able to get rid of toxic substances) are three symptoms of liver decompensation. The purpose of this research study is to investigate better ways to routinely monitor the condition of patients with NASH with compensated cirrhosis and to better pinpoint the development of decompensation in the livers of these patients.
This study is a Phase 1, first-in-human single-dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of OA-235i in subjects with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.
A phase 2b, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of HTD1801 in adult subjects with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and liver fibrosis who have type 2 diabetes mellitus or pre-diabetes.
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the aggressive form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, which is rapidly becoming a worldwide public health problem. It is more common in the military and Veteran population compared to the general US population. NASH may progress to end-stage liver disease and primary liver cancer, and hence there is critical need for effective treatment. The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether low dose thyroid hormone administered to Veterans diagnosed with NASH can be an effective therapy mediated by improvement in breaking down fat in the mitochondria. The study will be conducted in two stages, the first stage is for proof of concept to be followed by interim analysis. If the interim analysis supports the merit for continuing the study, the clinical trial will proceed to stage 2 for continuation. This study will provide new information and strategies for treatment of NASH using low dose thyroid hormone that will be highly relevant and impactful to the health of the Veteran population.
Endoscopic weight loss procedures, also termed endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG), has been proposed as a non-surgical procedure for managing obesity and offers a standard weight loss approach. Realizing there is a knowledge gap in applying ESG to morbidly obese patients with NAFLD, the investigators propose studying the efficacy of weight control and functional outcomes of ESG. This prospective pilot study is aimed to study the safety profiles, quality of life, and changes and improvements in the anthropometric, metabolic, and biochemical changes in these patients.
Background: During the hepatology evaluation, vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) is often used as a clinical decision aid to target high-risk patients for liver biopsy. The enhanced liver fibrosis (ELF) test is expected to be approved in the US. We tested the hypothesis that making the ELF results available to the treating hepatologist will result in more appropriate and targeted use of liver biopsy in patients with elevated liver enzymes or fatty liver, and will result in more cases of advanced fibrosis/cirrhosis being diagnosed. Methods: During the hepatology evaluation for elevated liver enzymes or fatty liver at the University of Kansas Medical Center, the hepatologists (8 total) make a clinical decision on whether patients shall receive VCTE. At the end of the clinic visit, patients were enrolled and randomized to receiving an ELF test. Patients with liver biopsy within the last five years or decompensated cirrhosis were excluded. The primary outcome is the rate of a diagnosis of F3-4 fibrosis based on liver biopsy or clinical diagnosis of cirrhosis with the initiation of hepatocellular carcinoma surveillance. Four hundred fifty patients are to be enrolled over two years.
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).

This is a multi-center evaluation of efruxifermin (EFX) in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in cirrhotic subjects with biopsy-proven F4 compensated NASH.
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).
Saroglitazar Magnesium for the Treatment of Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis
The goals of this clinical study are to learn more about the study drugs, semaglutide (SEMA) with the fixed-dose combination (FDC) of cilofexor/firsocostat (CILO/FIR), and understand whether they cause fibrosis improvement and Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) resolution in participants with cirrhosis due to NASH.
The principal goal of this study is to determine the efficacy of efinopegdutide in liver fat reduction in participants with NAFLD. The primary hypotheses are that efinopegdutide is superior to semaglutide, or that efinopegdutide is superior to semaglutide by at least 10% with respect to mean relative reduction from baseline in liver fat content (LFC) after 24 weeks.
