Monitoring Changes in Hepatic Steatosis Using Continuous Controlled Attenuation Parameter

Tracking liver fat changes with Continuous Controlled Attenuation Parameter.

Recruiting
18-65 years
All
Phase N/A

Study Overview: This study focuses on a liver condition called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which can lead to serious health problems like liver cancer. The study aims to test a new way to measure liver fat using a tool called the continuous controlled attenuation parameter (CAPc), which might be easier and cheaper than the usual method called MRI-PDFF (magnetic resonance imaging proton density fat fraction).

Participants will join a 6-month program to change their diet and exercise habits, which helps reduce liver fat. The study will compare how well CAPc measures liver fat changes against MRI-PDFF.

  • **Duration and Visits:** The study lasts 6 months with 4 clinic visits.
  • **Tests and Procedures:** Includes blood tests, liver scans, and lifestyle assessments.
  • **Eligibility:** Participants must have a certain level of liver fat and meet specific health criteria.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
