NCT06632444
This study is open to adults who are at least 18 years old living with obesity and have: * a confirmed liver disease called non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)/metabolic associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and * moderate or advanced liver fibrosis People with a history of acute or chronic liver diseases other than MASH or chronic alcohol intake cannot take part in this study. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called survodutide helps people with MASH and moderate or advanced liver fibrosis improve their liver function. This study has 2 parts. The purpose of the first part of this study is to find out the effect of survodutide on MASH and liver fibrosis. The purpose of the second part is to find out how safe and effective survodutide is in improving liver function. Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. 1 group gets survodutide and 1 group gets placebo. Placebo looks like survodutide but does not contain any medicine. Each participant has twice the 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. The survodutide doses are slowly increased until the target dose is reached. All participants receive counselling to make changes to their diet and to exercise regularly. Participants are in the study for up to 7 years. During this time, they regularly visit the study site or have remote visits by video call. For about the first year of the study, participants have these visits every 2 weeks, increasing to every 4 weeks and then every 6 weeks. After being in the study for a little over a year participants will then alternate between visiting the study site or having a remote visit every 3 months until the end of the study. The doctors check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects. The participants' body weight and effects on the stomach and intestines are regularly measured. At some visits the liver is measured using different imaging methods. At 2 or 3 visits doctors take a small sample of liver tissue (biopsy). The participants also fill in questionnaires about their symptoms and quality of life. The results are compared between the groups to see whether the treatment works.

It will take the participant 25 minutes to complete the survey. The study is not related to any specific treatment options or pharmaceutical product.
NCT07459426
Chronic hepatitis B is a long-term viral infection that affects millions of people worldwide. Patients usually require lifelong antiviral treatment to control the virus and prevent liver damage. Some older antiviral medications, such as lamivudine, can lead to the development of viral resistance. This means the virus changes in a way that makes certain treatments less effective. Even though newer drugs like entecavir are stronger and more resistant to these changes, previous exposure to lamivudine may increase the risk of developing additional resistance mutations. By analyzing viral genetic material from blood samples using advanced sequencing technology, this research will help improve understanding of antiviral resistance patterns in patients with chronic hepatitis B in Turkey and may support better treatment decisions in the future.
NCT07450651
Background: Chronic hepatitis B (CHB)-related cirrhosis is a common cause of portal hypertension, which leads to the development of gastroesophageal varices (EGVs). High-risk varices (HRV) are associated with a higher risk of bleeding and require timely interventions. Endoscopy is the gold standard for diagnosing HRV but is invasive and not suitable for routine screening in large populations. Objective: This study aims to develop a noninvasive model based on hepatic and splenic microcirculatory perfusion parameters derived from intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to predict and rule out HRV in patients with compensated CHB-related cirrhosis receiving antiviral therapy. Methods: This observational, retrospective study will include patients with compensated CHB-related cirrhosis who have undergone both esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and IVIM MRI. Microcirculatory perfusion parameters will be extracted from IVIM images using a biexponential model, and their ability to predict HRV will be assessed. Outcomes: The study will validate the performance of the Hepato-Splenic Microcirculatory Perfusion Model (HSMP) in ruling out HRV compared to conventional noninvasive tests like APRI, FIB-4, and LSM. The model's diagnostic accuracy will be evaluated with a focus on reducing unnecessary endoscopic procedures. Significance: If successful, this model could reduce the need for invasive endoscopy and improve the management of cirrhosis patients by providing a safer and more accessible screening tool for HRV.

Finding biomarkers for stopping bulevirtide treatment of patients with hepatitis delta
NCT07442760
This study is part of the MACROLIVER Project, which aims to develop a digital tool for patients and their caregivers to manage liver diseases. Approximately 20-25 million individuals worldwide carry HBsAg and are co-infected with HDV, though geographic variations exist. In Italy, an estimated 10,000-20,000 individuals are affected by Delta hepatitis (HD). These data are approximate, given the absence of current population studies and effective screening methods. Although considered rare, chronic HD (CHD) is the most aggressive form of viral hepatitis, with most patients progressing rapidly to end-stage liver disease or developing hepatocellular carcinoma at a young age, often requiring liver transplantation. Screening HBsAg-positive patients for Delta co-infection is not widespread, leading to late diagnoses. Additionally, accurate quantification of viral RNA is limited to a few specialized centers. The lack of effective antiviral therapies has led many Delta hepatitis patients to frequently switch hepatology centers in search of treatments or to miss regular medical check-ups. However, HDV management may change significantly following the recent EMA approval of a new antiviral drug, bulevirtide-an entry inhibitor administered subcutaneously daily-reimbursed in Italy since April 2023. This drug has shown promising results in Phase II and III studies, including in cirrhotic patients with severe portal hypertension. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated this situation, causing reduced access to healthcare facilities and negatively impacting patients with chronic diseases. However, it also accelerated the search for effective, high-quality digital solutions for patient management. The ePro-Diary HDV proposes to facilitate continuous communication between patients and doctors, monitor key lab values, quality of life questionnaires, and overall health status by an application for mobile phone. The objectives are twofold: to make patients active participants in their care-enhancing retention and adherence through an "active App-based approach"-and to evaluate changes in patient quality of life with this "active" remote approach. This tool will support clinicians and patients without replacing standard clinical monitoring.
NCT06953479
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a low-barrier treatment program can help people with hepatitis C virus (HCV) who are in jail start and complete treatment more easily. This study focuses on adults at the Rhode Island Department of Corrections who have active HCV and are awaiting trial. The study asks: * Can a simplified, low-barrier HCV treatment program work in a jail setting? * Do participants finish treatment and get cured using this approach? All participants will receive a 12-week course of the HCV medication sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (Epclusa). If they are released before completing treatment, they will take the remaining doses with them. Community Health Workers (CHWs) will help support participants after release, including reminding them to take medications and helping them get follow-up lab work. Researchers will measure: * Whether participants are cured of HCV * Whether the treatment approach is easy to use (feasible), acceptable, and followed correctly (fidelity) * Whether the program could be used in other jails or expanded in the future This study may help bring HCV treatment to more people in jail, reduce community spread of the virus, and support national goals to eliminate HCV.
NCT06819917
Chronic liver disease (CLD) is a major cause of global mortality and morbidity . CLD patients are at an increased risk of developing liver fibrosis (formation of scar tissue), cirrhosis and liver failure and are at significant risk to develop primary liver cancer. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) represents a major risk for CLD and it is becoming the most common chronic liver condition with an estimated 25% global prevalence. Progression to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) occurs in approx. 1 of 5 NAFLD patients and due to the rapidly rising etiology of end-stage liver disease, is currently the second most common etiology of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) requiring liver transplantation. Liver biopsy, currently the gold-standard for grading disease activity and staging fibrosis, is invasive, costly and at risk for sampling error. Due to the number of patients diagnosed with fibrosis and since fibrosis stage is prognostic of mortality and drives patient management, it is important to develop noninvasive yet accurate diagnostic tools that can identify fibrosis stage. The purpose of this study is to obtain a panel of clinically well characterized blood specimens to identify novel biomarkers to be used as an aid in diagnosis to assess the stage of clinically significant hepatic fibrosis in patients with signs or symptoms of NAFLD (NAFL/NASH). In addition, quantitative ultrasound (QUS) based approaches combined with artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms will be explored for assessing the stage of fibrosis.
NCT05653232
This study is being done to find out the best time to start medication for Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) in HCV-negative recipients of HCV-positive (HCV D+/R-) kidney transplants. Participants will be randomized into one of two groups: Arm 1 - Prophylaxis: This group will start the HCV medication before transplant and will take a shorter course of HCV medication for 2 weeks. Arm 2 - Transmit and Treat: This group will start the HCV medication after transplant and will take the full course (12 weeks) of HCV medication.

It's aimed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of ACT500 in healthy adult participants, and to explore possible metabolites and biomarkers of ACT500.
NCT04104321
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.
NCT04431245
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection affected 292 million individuals in the world, translating to about 3.9% of global prevalence. Up to 40% of patients with CHB will develop liver-related complications. Many patients require long-term oral antiviral therapy since off-treatment sustained virological control can only be achieved in a minority of patients. It is uncommon for patients taking long-term antivirals to be able to stop the treatment if favorable factors are not present. Those include low viral load, long enough duration of treatment, and absence of cirrhosis. Some studies have found that inducing a mild flare is beneficial for achieving functional cure in chronic hepatitis B infection. There is lack of data in the immunological and virological profile in patients who stop their long-term antiviral therapy, and in those who developed flare after treatment cessation.
NCT05612581
This is a Phase 1b/2 platform study framework to evaluate the safety and efficacy of investigational candidate(s) and their combinations as potential treatments for adults with chronic hepatitis B virus infection.
