NASH - Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Clinical Trials in Houston, TX

This study is researching an investigational drug called ALN-HSD (called "study drug"). This study is focused on participants who are known to have non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). NASH is a form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Recently, the name metabolic dysfunction associated steatohepatitis (MASH) has been introduced to replace NASH and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) to replace NAFLD. NASH occurs when fat builds up in liver cells, damaging them, and making the liver inflamed and stiff from fibrosis (scar tissue). NASH can progress to cirrhosis (long term scarring) and liver failure (when the liver cannot perform its job). The aim of the study is to see the effect of the study drug on lessening liver scarring side effects related to NASH. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: How the study drug works to improve liver function and lessen NASH related inflammation in the liver What side effects may happen from receiving the study drug How much study drug and study drug metabolites (byproduct of the body breaking down the study drug) are in the blood at different times Better understanding of the study drug and NASH Read Less

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). Read Less

This phase 1b, Open-Label Study is to assess the safety, efficacy of miricorilant in patients with presumed Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) Read Less

This study will compare the effects of AXA1125, an orally active mixture of amino acids, compared to placebo, on improving fat and inflammation (steatohepatitis) as well as fibrosis in subjects with non alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). as well as the safety and tolerability of AXA1125. Subjects will take one of two different doses of AXA1125 or a placebo twice daily, and a liver biopsy will be done at the beginning and end of the 48-week study. Read Less
