Phase 3
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis
Interventions
Drug: Coenzyme Q10 100 MG Oral Capsule
Registration Number
NCT05731596
Lead Sponsor
Tanta University
Brief Summary

This study will be a randomized, controlled, parallel study that aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Rosuvastatin versus Coenzyme Q10 on nonalcoholic steatohepatitis patients.

Detailed Description

* This study will be a randomized, controlled, parallel study.

* It will be conducted on 46 patients diagnosed with NASH

* The patients will be randomized into two groups:

Group 1(n=23): patients will receive Rosuvastatin 20mg/day orally

Group 2(n=23): patients will receive Coenzyme Q10 100 mg/day orally

The patients will be selected from community awareness campaigns about NASH in Alexandria , Egypt . Written informed consent will be obtained from all patients. This study will be approved by the Research Ethics Committee of Tanta University and Alexandria university.

The study duration will be 3 months.
