Hormones and fatty liver study
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how hormones (androgens) relate to fatty liver disease (MASH) in women, especially those with PCOS. It aims to understand why some women develop worse liver problems and might help find new ways to treat or prevent them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a medicine called bicalutamide (an anti-androgen) to see if it can help young women with both PCOS and fatty liver disease (NASH). The goal is to find a new treatment option for these two conditions together.
This study collects health information and samples from people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease to better understand the condition. It may help researchers find new ways to diagnose or treat this liver problem.
This study looks at people with fatty liver disease and common health issues like obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, or abnormal cholesterol. It may help researchers understand how liver fat and heart/metabolism problems relate and how they affect health over time.
This study classifies fatty liver disease (MAFLD) by examining liver tissue samples. It aims to better understand how metabolic risk factors like high blood sugar, high blood pressure, or excess weight relate to the liver's condition.
This study is testing a new drug that targets thyroid hormone receptors in the liver, alone or combined with another drug, to reduce inflammation and scarring in people with MASH (a type of fatty liver disease). If you have MASH with moderate liver scarring and are otherwise healthy, this trial may help find a new treatment option.
This study asks people with metabolic fatty liver disease and liver scarring about their experiences. It aims to learn what matters to you so doctors can improve care.
