Effect of Anti-osteoporotic Medications on Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Effect of Anti-osteoporotic Medications on Hepatic Steatosis and Fibrosis of Women With Postmenopausal Osteoporosis and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Rövid összefoglaló (regiszter, angolul)
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic, metabolic liver disease that is closely related to obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in a bidirectional mode. NAFLD affects approximately 25% of the worldwide population. NAFLD refers to a phenotypic spectrum, including steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis, which can lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in a minority of patients. However, despite its high prevalence, morbidity and mortality, as well as the extensive research in the field, there is not to-date a licensed medication specifically for NAFLD. Emerging evidence supports a potential association between NAFLD and osteoporosis; the prevalence of osteoporosis is probably higher in patients with NAFLD and, vise versa, the prevalence of NAFLD may be higher in patients with osteoporosis. In this context, it has been proposed that certain medications for osteoporosis may also prove to be beneficial to NAFLD. Denosumab, a human monoclonal IgG2 antibody against the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) ligand (RANKL), is currently an established treatment for osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases. The axis RANKL-receptor activator of nuclear factor NF-κB (RANK)-osteoprotegerin (OPG) has been demonstrated as a key regulator of bone metabolism and, when dysregulated, it contributes to the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases. Interestingly, experimental studies have shown that circulating and hepatic RANKL may be upregulated in mice with diet-induced NAFLD, rendering RANKL a potential contributor to the pathogenesis of NAFLD, and ideally, a promising pharmacological target. On the other hand, bisphosphonates, another established, first-line treatment for osteoporosis, are expected to have no significant effect on hepatic metabolism in patients with NAFLD due to their pharmacokinetics and mechanism of action. This is a prospective non-randomized study which aims to investigate the comparative effect of denosumab versus bisphosphonates on hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis and concomitant NAFLD.

Ki nem vehet részt
Szó szerint a(z) ClinicalTrials.gov forrásból, témák szerint csoportosítva. Hogy ki vehet részt, azt csak a vizsgálat csapata dönti el.
Más betegség
- a history of other chronic liver disease (e.g., viral hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, primary biliary cholangitis and overlap syndromes, drug-induced liver injury, hemochromatosis, Wilson's disease, α1-antitrypsin deficiency)
- any malignancy
- chronic kidney disease
- use of the following medications within a 12-month period before baseline associated with drug-induced fatty liver: interferon, tamoxifen, amiodarone, aloperidin, glucocorticosteroids, anabolic steroids, any medication against tuberculosis, epilepsy or viruses, methotrexate, parenteral nutrition
Laborértékek
- use of the following medications within a 12-month period before baseline associated probably with improvement in fatty liver: vitamin E, pioglitazone, insulin, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2), orlistat, ursodeoxycholic acid
- use of any anti-osteoporotic medication within a 12-month period before baseline, except for calcium and vitamin D
Egyéb
