Study of RAY1225 in people with reduced liver function
This study tests a new medicine called RAY1225 in people with mild or moderate liver problems compared to those with healthy livers. It helps researchers understand how the liver affects the medicine, which could lead to safer dosing.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07313007Recruiting
Gut bacteria chemicals in fatty liver disease
This study looks at whether the natural chemicals made by your gut bacteria from the food you eat could affect liver fat and health. If you have MASLD (a fatty liver condition), researchers want to measure these gut-produced substances to better understand the disease.
Pierre-BéniteAges 18–80 - NCT07459504RecruitingPhase 2
Smart diets for kids with fatty liver disease
This study compares different diet plans to see which works best to reduce fat in the liver of children and teens with MASLD (a type of fatty liver disease). If your child drinks sugary beverages often and has certain health risks like being overweight or having high cholesterol, this trial may help find a healthy eating plan that works.
