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.

SB Flavonoids for Advanced Liver Disease ManagementSB Flavonoids represents a multi-target therapeutic composition engineered for the comprehensive management of Hepatitis (Acute and Chronic), Advanced Cirrhosis (F3)-(F4), and Early-stage Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).The formulation features a synergistic complex of Ascorbic Acid, L-Arginine Hydrochloride, and a high-potency flavonoid blend, including Kaempferol, Urinariaflavone, Quercetin, Rutin, and 5,6-dihydroxy-7,8,4'-trimethoxy-flavone. This combination exerts a powerful hepatoprotective and antifibrotic effect by: Structural Regeneration: Promoting the repair and regeneration of functional liver parenchyma while stabilizing hepatocyte membranes to mitigate oxidative stress. Bioreversal of Fibrosis: Actively inhibiting the activation of pro-fibrogenic cells (hepatic stellate cells) and remodeling the extracellular matrix to reverse advanced (F3)-(F4) fibrosis. Oncogenic Suppression: Inhibiting the proliferation of malignant cells to prevent the progression of early-stage liver cancer. Homeostatic Restoration: Providing essential molecular precursors to strengthen the host's immune surveillance, reduce chronic inflammation, and restore the liver's physiological and biochemical homeostasis.By addressing both viral-induced damage and structural degradation, SB Flavonoids offers a novel pathway for restoring hepatic function and systemic health in patients with progressive liver diseases.
NCT05330923
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) remains a severe global infectious disease, with over 38 million people living with HIV and around 35 million cumulative deaths worldwide by 2023; approximately 1.24 million HIV-positive individuals and 100,000 new infections are reported annually in China. Widespread use of HAART has prolonged HIV patients' survival and reduced AIDS-related mortality, yet non-AIDS comorbidities dominated by chronic liver disorders, particularly metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), have become a major challenge in long-term HIV management. Triggered by elevated blood lipids from lifestyle, antiretroviral agents and inherited metabolic factors, MAFLD initiates with hepatic steatosis and may progress to NASH, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and even hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) without timely intervention. HIV-positive patients develop more severe MAFLD progression than HIV-negative counterparts; existing biopsy data shows 91% of ART-treated HIV patients have NAFLD, among whom 65% suffer from NASH complicated with liver fibrosis. Fatty liver prevalence keeps rising with younger onset age in China, which highlights the necessity of early screening. Liver biopsy, the historical diagnostic gold standard for liver injury grading, is restricted by invasiveness, bleeding risks and poor reproducibility. Transient elastography (TE), a novel non-invasive ultrasonic technique, quantifies hepatic steatosis via the ultrasound attenuation parameter (UAP) and liver fibrosis via liver stiffness measurement (LSM), and has been validated and guideline-endorsed for multiple chronic liver diseases globally. Published foreign data report 35%, 42% and 22% prevalence of NAFLD, NASH and fibrosis in PLWH, while domestic evidence on HIV-associated MAFLD is limited, especially liver-related discrepancies among varied ART regimens. With the implementation of China's new medical insurance policy, numerous patients are shifting from non-INI regimens to once-daily single-tablet INSTI STR regimens, whose hepatic and lipid impacts remain unclear. This study targets early detection of HIV patients with concomitant fatty liver to optimize management strategies and improve clinical outcomes. Our preliminary cohort at Peking Union Medical College Hospital included 188 virologically suppressed HIV patients on ART, 56.9% (107/188) of whom developed fatty liver (mild:27.1%, moderate:19.7%, severe:10.1%). Liver fibrosis (LSM≥7.3 kPa) was found in 12.8% (24/188) subjects, with 1.1% having advanced cirrhosis, and no significant inter-group difference in fatty liver incidence was noted between INSTI and NNRTI recipients. These findings lay a foundation for early diagnosis and follow-up intervention of metabolic liver disease among HIV-infected populations.

A Phase 2 Clinical Trial Investigating the Safety and Efficacy of ADX-629 in Subjects with Moderate Alcohol Associated Hepatitis (Part 1)
NCT06092333
Background: Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection affects 292 million people worldwide; 887,000 die each year from cirrhosis, liver cancer, and related issues. Treatment options are limited. Objective: To test 2 drugs (VIR-2218 and peginterferon) in people with mild or inactive HBV infection. Eligibility: People aged 18 to 65 years with mild or inactive HBV infection. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have blood tests and an eye exam. They will have imaging scans of the liver to check the health of the liver. Participants will be in the study for over 2 years. VIR-2218 is an injection given under the skin of the stomach, upper arm, or thigh. Participants will come to the clinic to receive this injection once a month for 6 months. Peginterferon is also injected under the skin. Participants will have this shot once a week for 6 months. They may either inject themselves at home or come to the clinic to get the injections. Participants will get just the VIR-2218 for 3 months, then both shots for 3 months, then just the peginterferon for 3 months. Participants will have two 3-day stays in the hospital. Tests will include: Liver biopsy. A sample of tissue will be taken from their liver. After the procedure, participants will lie on their right side for 2 hours and then on their back for 4 hours. Fine needle aspiration. A small needle will be used to collect cells from the liver. After the last injection of peginterferon, follow-up visits will continue in the outpatient clinic every 4 to 12 weeks.

NCT05630820
This study is intended to confirm the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, and the durability of hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) suppression observed with bepirovirsen for 24 weeks (with loading doses) as compared to the placebo arm. This study will have 4 stages: a) Double-blind treatment (bepirovirsen or placebo) for 24 weeks. b) Nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) treatment for 24 weeks. c) NA cessation stage OR Continue NA for 24 weeks. d) Durability of response and follow up for further 24 weeks for participants who stopped NA treatment at Week 48. The arms will be stratified based on HBsAg level (HBsAg greater than or equal to \[≥\] 100 international unit per milliliter \[IU/mL\] to less than or equal \[≤\]1000 IU/mL or greater than \[\>\] 1000 IU/mL to ≤3000 IU/mL) at screening. The total duration of the study, including screening (up to 60 days), the double-blind treatment stage (24 weeks), the On NA only stage (24 weeks), and the NA cessation and durability stages (48 weeks) is up to approximately 104 weeks at maximum for each participant.
NCT03587831
Participants meeting study entry criteria are randomized with equal probability to one of two study groups: (1) Lifestyle modification or (2) Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG) with Iifestyle modification, followed for 12 months. The primary goal for the trial is to determine if the investigators can recruit, randomize, and retain participants to perform invasive and non-invasive measurements of NASH and fibrosis, deliver lifestyle modification and demonstrate the safety of VSG. The investigators wish to also understand which of these two interventions is more effective in achieving, 12 months after entry into the trial, a reduction in NAS composed of the non-weighted scores: (1) steatosis 0-3 (2) Inflammation 0-3 and (3) ballooning 0-2. Secondary goals include comparing the two treatment groups for changes in other measured outcomes including MRI assessments of intrahepatic triglyceride and liver elasticity and serum markers. As a pilot study, a sample size of 20 in each group should offer significant information as to the difference in NAS score reduction between to two groups and achieve adequate power to distinguish clinically significant changes in the primary and secondary outcome measures. These data support the overarching objective i.e. to provide evidence that a larger, longer-term clinical outcomes trial is feasible. A goal is for a longer term follow up for 5 years to assess the durability of treatment effects and treatment differences.
NCT07460336
This single-center, randomized, open-label, controlled study aims to evaluate the effect of cofrogliptin on pancreatic β-cell function in adults with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA). Following a screening period of up to 6 weeks, 84 eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio via a sealed-envelope method, stratified by baseline GADA titer (≥0.3 vs \<0.3). Participants will be assigned to one of two treatment arms: (1) metformin (with or without insulin) plus vitamin D3, or (2) metformin (with or without insulin) plus vitamin D3 and cofrogliptin. Cofrogliptin will be administered orally at a dose of 10 mg once every 2 weeks, and vitamin D3 at 2000 IU once daily, for a total treatment duration of 52 weeks. Study visits are planned at baseline and at Weeks 12, 26, 38, and 52, during which mixed-meal tolerance tests (MMTT) and other protocol-specified assessments will be conducted.
