Trial summary

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) develops on insulin resistance, especially in patients with carbohydrate tolerance. NASH may progress to more extensive fibrosis, including cirrhosis, but also to HCC with or without cirrhosis in 10 to 20% of cases. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Identification of Non-alcoholic Steato-hepatitis Cases in a Sample of Type 2 Diabetes Patients, with a Disruption of the Liver Function Tests, At the Pointe-à-Pitre University Hospital

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) develops on insulin resistance, especially in patients with carbohydrate tolerance. NASH may progress to more extensive fibrosis, including cirrhosis, but also to HCC with or without cirrhosis in 10 to 20% of cases. The main objective of our research is to identify the prevalence of NASH in a sample of 100 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), consulting in the PAP hospital and having a liver function disorder

Read the detailed description

In Guadeloupe, the prevalence of T2DM is estimated to be 20%, among the highest in the French departements. NASH is probably present in our patients with T2DM but we do not know its prevalence. There is no data on the development of NASH in the Afro-Caribbean population, but in the United States, it has been observed that NASH was less prevalent among African-Americans compared to Caucasian and Hispanic Americans, and this could be explained by differences genetics in fat metabolism. In view of the emergence of NASH worldwide as a cause of chronic liver disease, it is necessary to carry out a pilot study to determine the presence or absence of NASH in T2DM patients in Guadeloupe. This will necessitate a systematic evaluation of liver function, usually performed during the T2DM assessment but not necessarily followed by specialized advice to confirm or invalidate the diagnosis of NASH. For each patient, an abnormality of liver function will be assessed by usual serum tests (transaminases, GGT, PAL). Prescription for a fibrotest / actitest + NASHtest and the NAFLD fibrosis score, will be perfomred as well as ultrasound and blood tests to eliminate other causes of liver disease (viral B or C, alcoholic, autoimmune, hemochromatosis) will also be performed.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. fibrotest-Actitest

    Fibrotest-actitest uses the biological analysis of alpha 2 macroglobulin, haptoglobin, apolipoprotein A1, total bilirubin, gGT, ALAT, ASAT, fasting blood glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides. A fibrotest score >0.48 is suggestive of advanced liver fibrosis.

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. NASH test

    NASHtest uses the biological analysis of alpha 2 macroglobulin, haptoglobin, apolipoprotein A1, total bilirubin, gGT, ALAT, ASAT, fasting blood glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides. NASHtest interpretation:

    NashTest 2 score Grade Interpretation

    0.00-0.25* N0 No NASH

    0.25-0.50* N1 Mild NASH

    0.50-0.75* N2 Moderate NASH

    0.75-1.00* N3 Severe NASH

    Measured: 24 hours

  3. NAFDL fibrosis score

    Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) fibrosis score estimates amount of scarring in the liver based on age and body mass index of the patient, and several laboratory tests as ASAT, ALAT, platelet count and albumin. NAFLD fibrosis score can be interpretate as below:

    • less than -1.455: low probability of fibrosis
    • from -1.445 to 0.676 : intermediate score
    • more than 0.676: high probability of fibrosis

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. : hepatic ultrasound,

    Patients will be assessed by liver ultrasound which is a non invasive test that produces images of liver and its blood vessels. It's a valuable diagnostic tool for assessing liver anatomy, size and pathology as cirrhosis or liver steatosis.

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Standard liver test

    Blood analysis for liver function assessment (ASAT, ALAT, gGT, PAL)

    Measured: 24 hours

  3. Lipid balance

    Blood analysis for lipid metabolism assessment (total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides), which constitutes an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease

    Measured: 24 hours

  4. Lipid balance

    HDL

    Measured: 24 hours

  5. Lipid balance

    triglyceride

    Measured: 24 hours

  6. Assessment to eliminate other causes of chronic disease

    HBV and HCV serologies for viral hepatitis

    Measured: 24 hours

  7. Assessment to eliminate other causes of chronic disease

    auto-immune antibodies for auto-immune hepatitis

    Measured: 24 hours

  8. Assessment to eliminate other causes of chronic disease

    ferritinemia and saturation coefficient of transferin for hemochromatosis

    Measured: 24 hours

  9. Assessment to eliminate other causes of chronic disease

    carboxy deficient transferin for alcoholism

    Measured: 24 hours

  10. Platelets

    Platelet

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fibrotest-actitest/NASHtest in people with Non-alcoholic Steato-hepatitis, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de la Guadeloupe at 1 site in Guadeloupe.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Dec 2024. 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 Guadeloupe. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

fibrotest-Actitest (time frame: 24 hours). The study lists 3 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 18 Dec 2024.
