Part 2 The second Primary objective will be achieved by following study design. Study design: A Case Control Study
Study population:
Case: NASH related Cirrhosis patients Control-1: Healthy Control. Control-2: HBV Disease Control Study period: 3 Years
All the patients diagnosed with NASH cirrhosis attending Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences OPD/IPD will be enrolled. An informed consent will be taken. Complete details of the subject will be taken. The data will be collected on socio-demographic by (socio-demographic questionnaire), alcohol by AUDIT-C (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test), Tobacco by FTND (Fagerstrom Test Nicotine Dependence), physical activity by IPAQ (International Physical Activity Questionnaire), Diet by FFQ (Food Frequency Questionnaire), physical measurement \& all the comorbidities.
Blood will be collected and analyzed for Platelets, PT/INR, Serum Creatinine, LFT, FBS, HOMA-IR, Lipid Profile, HBsAg, AntiHBs, Anti HBc, Anti HCV, Anti HAV, IgM anti HAV, IgM anti HEV, auto-Immune markers, Ceruloplasmin, Transferrin, S.Ferritin, Alpha1antitrpsin and genetic markers.
The stool will be collected and analyzed for gut microbiota profiling.

The data will be collected on socio-demographic by (socio-demographic questionnaire), alcohol by AUDIT-C (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test), Tobacco by FTND (Fagerstrom Test Nicotine Dependence), physical activity by IPAQ (International Physical Activity Questionnaire), Diet by FFQ (Food Frequency Questionnaire), 24-hour dietary recall method, physical measurement \& all the comorbidities.
Blood will be collected and analyzed for CBC, LFT, KFT, PT/INR, FBS, HOMA-IR, Lipid Profile, HBsAg, AntiHBs, Anti HBc, Anti HCV, Anti HAV, IgM anti HAV, IgM anti HEV, auto-Immune markers, Ceruloplasmin, Transferrin, S.Ferritin, Alpha1antitrpsin and genetic markers.
The stool will be collected and analyzed for gut microbiota profiling. Controlled Attenuation Parameter and liver stiffness will be measured by using transient elastography. Ultrasound abdomen will be done First degree relatives of indexed patients will be enrolled. First degree relatives who will not accompanying the indexed subject will be contacted telephonically and will be requested to participate in the study.
The data on first degree relative will be collected on similar parameter as of the indexed patient. This will be a cross sectional study.
For each case, 1 healthy controls will be taken. Healthy Control will be identified from the OPD/IPD of ILBS. Liver transplant donors, hospital volunteers, Blood Donors, healthy attendants who are accompanying other patients of different specialties will be enrolled. An informed consent will be taken. The data will be collected on similar parameter as of the indexed patient. This will be case control study.
We will also have disease control (HBV control) for each case enrolled. Subject suffering from Hepatitis B virus related liver cirrhosis will be included as disease control. For each case, 1 disease control will be included. Disease Control will be identified from the OPD/IPD of ILBS. An informed consent will be taken. The data will be collected on similar parameter as of the indexed patient.
Genetic markers and stool microbiota profiling will be done in 30% of the subsets of sample i.e NASH related Cirrhosis, First Degree Relatives, Healthy Control and HBV Disease control.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in India. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Dr Ankit Bhardwaj, Masters-CR (01146300000, bhardwaj.ankit3@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Physical activity-related risk factors as assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) between NASH related cirrhosis and their First Degree Relatives. (time frame: Day 0). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Oct 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
