Read the detailed description

Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is a common chronic liver disease estimated to affect 25% of the global population. NAFLD is defined as the presence of fat in the liver that is not associated with alcohol consumption. The researchers proposed a new term, Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), which covers a range of liver conditions associated with metabolic dysregulation, including obesity and type 2 diabetes. MAFLD is a systemic disease with complications such as obesity, which is closely related to glucose and lipid metabolism. Obesity is associated with comorbidities such as dyslipidaemia, hypertension and diabetes.

The pathogenesis mechanism of MAFLD is complex and involves several factors such as mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and increased free fatty acids (FFA). The 'multi-hit' theory explains how lifestyle, environmental and genetic factors contribute to the development of MAFLD. The gut microbiota also plays an important role in the development of MAFLD through the gut-liver axis, where microbiota imbalance can lead to inflammation and liver damage.

Research shows the microbiota composition in MAFLD patients is different from healthy people, with an increase in Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria and a decrease in butyrate-producing bacteria. Interventions with probiotics and prebiotics (synbiotics) have been shown to reduce liver fibrosis and improve metabolic profiles. The investigators are interested in assessing the effects of synbiotics on changes in metabolic biomarkers, insulin, TNF-α, and gut microbiota in MAFLD patients.

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Hery D Purnomo, Dr (+628122803136, herydjagat@yahoo.co.id), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Complete Hematology (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06585982, which also lists 19 linked publications.

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 12 Nov 2024.
