TARGET-NASH is a longitudinal observational cohort study of patients being managed for NASH and related conditions across the entire spectrum NAFLD in usual clinical practice. TARGET-NASH is a research registry of patients with NAFL or NASH within academic and community real-world practices maintained in order to assess the safety and effectiveness of current and future therapies.
NCT07237750
Obesity and overweight are rising in Chinese populations, where metabolic risks begin at lower BMI thresholds than in Western cohorts. Many individuals with overweight or mild-to-moderate obesity are ineligible or unwilling to undergo bariatric surgery due to invasiveness and risk. Endoscopic bariatric and metabolic therapies offer minimally invasive alternatives but vary in complexity, cost, and safety profiles. Investigators developed a sutureless endoscopic procedure, Endoscopic Radial Compression Gastroplasty (ERCG), which reduces gastric volume by apposing gastric walls using a clip-and-loop system. This randomized controlled trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of ERCG versus an optimized lifestyle intervention in Asian adults with BMI 24.0-37.4 kg/m² who have not succeeded with conservative measures. Preliminary studies suggest ERCG can achieve approximately 12% total body weight loss (TBWL) at 3 months. The primary endpoint is percent TBWL at 3 months; secondary outcomes include changes in BMI, metabolic parameters, quality of life, and adverse events. Results are expected to inform the role of ERCG as a safe, effective, and scalable option between conservative care and bariatric surgery.
NCT02581085
The purpose of this Phase 2 trial is to validate the outcome observed in a previous trial that oral Tocotrienol (TCT) attenuates the rise in MELD score over time in patients with end stage liver disease / cirrhosis. The study is double blind and participants will be randomized to take 2 capsules of TCT (200mg) or placebo twice a day for 3 years.
NCT05877547
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.
NCT00983463
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common type of liver disease in the United States. The incidence of NAFLD is very similar to that of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and the metabolic syndrome. The investigators hypothesize that there may be a relationship between over-nutrition, decreased physical activity and the development of fatty liver. The purpose of this study is to identify the types of fats and proteins, and the quantity of each, that are associated with increased severity of NAFLD.
NCT07278128
Background and Objectives: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) commonly co-occur and are associated with insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and metabolic and hormonal imbalances. Standard drug therapies can cause side effects, so safer and more effective alternatives are needed. This study evaluated whether daily curcumin supplementation could improve lipid, metabolic, hormonal, and liver-related parameters in women of reproductive age with both PCOS and NAFLD. Study Design and Participants: This was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial conducted at Arash General Women's Hospital. Ninety-four women of reproductive age diagnosed with PCOS and NAFLD were enrolled and randomly assigned to receive curcumin or placebo. Intervention: Participants in the intervention group received 1000 mg curcumin daily; the control group received 1000 mg placebo daily. The treatment period was 12 weeks. Measurements were taken at baseline and after 12 weeks. Key measurements: Anthropometric measurements, lipid profile (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides), fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, serum testosterone, anti-mullerian hormone (AMH), liver enzymes (AST, ALT, ALP), and liver ultrasound for degree of steatosis.
NCT05199948
The research study is a parallel arm, randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial designed to assess changes in hepatic lipid accumulation, visceral adipose tissue and postprandial lipid, markers of inflammation and energy metabolism in participants who consume 3 study foods per day for 16 week, while maintaining their body weight.
NCT05583344
The purpose of this study is to measure improvements in liver fibrosis and inflammation with GSK4532990 compared with placebo in participants with NASH and advanced fibrosis on biopsy (F3 or F4). The study duration will be up to 76 weeks including the screening period. The treatment duration will be up to 52 weeks.
NCT07168551
1. Identifying the association between hyperuricemia and NAFLD can lead to early detection and prevention of liver fibrosis in adult obese patients. 2. Understanding the relationship between hyperuricemia and NAFLD can inform targeted therapy, such as urate-lowering treatment, to potentially slow disease progression. 3 - To examine the relationship between serum uric acid levels and liver fibrosis severity\*: Assessing the correlation between serum uric acid levels and the severity of liver fibrosis in adult obese patients with NAFLD. 4- To identify potential mechanisms underlying the association\*: Exploring the potential mechanisms by which hyperuricemia may contribute to the development and progression of NAFLD and liver fibrosis in adult obese patients.

NCT02933554
Obesity is an epidemic in the US. With progression of obesity, Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) has been a growing public health issue. Presently there is no cure for NASH.Prevention of progression of fibrosis in NASH is crucial, as they are at a high risk for cirrhosis and may need liver transplant. Recent studies have shown that blocking blood vessels to a particular portion of the stomach (bariatric or left gastric artery embolization) can temporarily decrease levels of the appetite inducing hormone ghrelin, and result in weight loss.The purpose of this study is to determine if Left gastric artery embolization (LGAE) in patients with obesity and NASH leads to clinically significant weight loss with improvement of NASH.
NCT06335771
The goal of this study is to evaluate the role of transcription factor EB (TFEB) in adipose (fat) tissue macrophages (ATM) in regulating adipose tissue and systemic metabolic function in obesity. The investigators will assess the differences in ATM lipid metabolism in people with metabolically abnormal obesity and lean individuals. Both groups will have: * screening visit * imaging (body composition testing - dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans, magnetic resonance imaging \[MRI\] and magnetic resonance spectroscopy \[MRS\] scans) * Overnight visit with intravenous infusion (IV), muscle, and fat tissue biopsies Participants with obesity will complete meetings with study team members for a weight loss intervention to achieve a 10% body weight loss.
