研究概览

简要总结

This is a randomised study to examine whether high dose Sillymarin will be able to help improve fat-induced liver damage in the liver. The study hypothesis is that high dose Sillymarin will be able to reduce steato-hepatitis (fat-related liver inflammation) better than placebo.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES OF STUDY Primary Objectives

  1. To assess the safety and adverse event profile of Silymarin compared to placebo.
  2. To assess the efficacy of Silymarin as defined by an improvement in non-alcoholic steatosis (NAS) activity score by at least 30% from baseline compared to placebo.

Secondary Objectives

  1. To compare NAS activity before and after Silymarin therapy.
  2. To characterize changes in ALT and AST during Silymarin therapy.
  3. To compare insulin resistance measured by HOMAr during Silymarin therapy.
