This prospective study aims to assess health-related social needs (HRSNs) among patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) receiving outpatient care at Indiana University Health. Patients with CLD often face socioeconomic challenges that adversely affect health outcomes, but no validated screening tool exists for this population. The primary objective is to …
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.
A Phase 1, Open-label Extension Groups Study in Subjects having Hepatic Impairment with Cirrhosis due to Cholestatic Liver Disease
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a global public health concern, and the leading cause of chronic liver disease, especially in developed countries (1). NAFLD is characterized by lipid accumulation in the liver not attributed to other causes. NAFLD is characterized by excessive hepatic fat accumulation without other recognized causes …

This research study is being conducted to find out more about techniques to non-invasively evaluate liver disease. This is the second phase of a project in which we are testing a new technology to evaluate the liver (LiverScope®). We will compare LiverScope® to other methods to evaluate the liver, including …
Prospective, observational study to define precipitants and predictors of development of Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF) after surgical interventions, allowing to develop a risk stratification for elective procedures in cirrhotic patients. As well as identifying molecular mechanisms of post-interventional ACLF and thus preparing the ground for development of new therapeutic approaches.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II study evaluates whether daily subcutaneous tesamorelin (a growth hormone-releasing hormone analog) reduces liver fat in adults with fatty liver disease. Participants receive tesamorelin or matching placebo for 52 weeks, with standardized lifestyle counseling in both groups. Liver fat is quantified by MRI-proton density fat …
The investigators will conduct a proof-of-principle 4-weeks low-calorie diet (LCD) intervention study in low birth weight (LBW) subjects and normal birth weight (NBW) controls with documented (MR scan) liver fat content equal to or above 5%. The investigators will provide extended in-depth mechanistic insight into the role of impaired subcutaneous …
Biliary atresia is the most severe form of cholestatic liver disease. The children have high morbidity and mortality and get devastating pruritus and fatigue, failure to thrive, progressive hepatic failure and impaired neurodevelopment. The etiology is mostly unknown. More than half need a new liver from a living or deceased …
