简要总结

This multicenter, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of berberine in reducing visceral and liver adipose tissue among individuals with obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in China.

详细描述

The trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of berberine treatment for obesity and NAFLD. Potential eligible patients will be recruited from 10-20 medical centers in China. After a 4-week run-in period with berberine, all the eligible participants will be randomized (1:1) to berberine 1.0 g per day plus lifestyle intervention (Arm A) or placebo plus lifestyle intervention (Arm B). The participants will be asked to attend the visit at least once every 2 months, and be followed up for 6 months.
