Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, the HEpatic Response to Oral Glucose, and the Effect of Semaglutide (NAFLD HEROES)
Testing how the liver responds to glucose in fatty liver disease, and semaglutide’s effect
📍 National Institutes of Health Clinical Center · Bethesda, MD · Get directions →
Background: In non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), fat accumulates in the liver and can cause damage. Researchers want to learn what causes the damage NAFLD, and to see if a medication can help.

Human Models of Selective Insulin Resistance: Alpelisib, Part I
Testing how insulin works in healthy people versus people at risk for type 2 diabetes
📍 Columbia University Irving Medical Center · New York, NY · Get directions →
The goal of this clinical trial is to understand how the blood sugar-lowering hormone insulin works in healthy adults versus those who are at risk for type 2 diabetes. The study will use a drug called alpelisib, which interferes with insulin's actions in the body, to answer the study's main question: does the liver continue to respond to insulin's stimulation of fat production even when it loses the ability to stop making glucose (sugar) in response to insulin.

Mechanisms of SGLT2 Inhibition in Pediatric Steatotic Liver Disease
Testing how SGLT2 inhibitors work for fatty liver disease in obese teens
📍 Ann & Robert H Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago · Chicago, IL · Get directions →
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial specifically designed to evaluate the preliminary feasibility, initial efficacy and safety of SGLT2 inhibitors for treating NAFLD in adolescents with obesity.

Fibrosis Lessens After Metabolic Surgery
Testing whether metabolic surgery can reduce liver scarring in obesity
📍 Banner Health Center · Phoenix, AZ · +3 more US sites · Get directions →
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a major global public health concern, is commonly associated with obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. MASLD is currently the most common cause of chronic liver disease affecting about 80% of people with obesity, ranging from simple fat deposits in the liver to Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH), cellular injury, advanced fibrosis, cirrhosis, or hepatocellular carcinoma.

📍 GSK Investigational Site · Chandler, AZ · +29 more US sites · Get directions →
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of efimosfermin in participants with metabolic dysfunction associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and compensated cirrhosis consistent with stage F4 fibrosis.

Prospective Evaluation of Sequencing From antiCD-20 Therapies to Ozanimod
Testing whether ozanimod is safe and works as a step-down treatment for stable multiple sclerosis
📍 University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus · Aurora, CO · +2 more US sites · Get directions →
A multi-center pilot study to evaluate safety and efficacy of ozanimod as de-escalation therapy in clinically stable MS patients previously treated with anti-CD20 therapy.

Effect of Insulin Lowering on Lipogenesis
Testing whether lowering insulin for one week changes liver fat in people with obesity and MASLD
📍 Columbia University Irving Medical Center · New York, NY · Get directions →
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare a one-week course of diazoxide (2 mg/kg per dose x 14 doses) and placebo in people with obesity and insulin resistance (IR) with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The main question it aims to answer are how mitigation of compensatory hyperinsulinemia with diazoxide affects hepatic de novo lipogenesis, a major contributor to MASLD pathophysiology.
