November 23, 2024 updated by: Minghui Li, Beijing Municipal Administration of Hospitals

Establishment of Precise Histological Evaluation Criteria for Reversal of NASH Fibrosis

Collect confirmed cases of NAFLD patients and enroll them in the study. Select patients with NASH and fibrosis stage F2-4 confirmed by liver biopsy, and collect clinical and pathological data for relevant evaluation and definition. Establish a NASH "fibrosis reversal" pathological evaluation system, based on a new reversal standard, establish non-invasive alternative indicators, and observe indicators.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Confirmed NAFLD patients were enrolled, and those with NASH and fibrosis F2-4 stages confirmed by liver biopsy were selected, and clinical and pathological data were collected for relevant evaluation and definition. A NASH "fibrosis reversal" pathological evaluation system was established based on the new standard, and an alternative non-invasive indicator and observation index were established based on the reversal standard.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients diagnosed with NAFLD were enrolled, and patients with NASH and fibrosis stage F2-4 confirmed by liver biopsy were screened

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Aged between 18 and 70 years at the time of liver biopsy;
  • Gender is not limited;
  • Hepatic perforation suggested that NASH complicated with fibrosis stage F2-4;
  • Signed written informed consent.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Case group
After successful patient screening and enrollment, visits will be conducted every 6 months to collect the following information: Physical examination, accompanying diseases, hematology: blood routine, coagulation function, serology, imaging, body fat measurement, liver puncture information (if applicable). Lifestyle questionnaire: Dietary characteristics, sleep/wake time, daily sitting time, exercise duration, exercise mode. Health education and lifestyle intervention guidance should be provided to patients based on exercise mode. When adjusting lifestyle for at least 1 year and no more than 3 years, a second liver biopsy should be performed to evaluate liver histological changes.
Other: life-style
The patients were given health education and lifestyle intervention guidance, followed by lifestyle adjustment for at least 1 year and no more than 3 years, and a second liver biopsy was performed to evaluate liver histological changes.
