简要总结
Bariatric-metabolic surgery is effective in treating the cluster of conditions forming the metabolic syndrome, strictly associated with NAFLD and NASH. Recently, we and other authors have shown also in the long term (up 5 years) with randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) that bariatric-metabolic surgery allows remission of type 2 diabetes and obesity reduction, which are the two major pathogenetic factors of NASH development, with maintenance of weight loss.
Few small and mainly retrospective studies have shown that bariatric surgery is effective in improving NASH histologic picture in obese subjects.
The aim of our proposal is to conduct a 3 arm single centre, superiority, RCT comparing Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) with Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) and with Intensive Lifestyle Modifications (ILM) for the treatment of Non-Alcoholic Steato-Hepatitis.
详细描述
This is a Randomized Controlled multicentre Trial involving the Catholic University (Professor Geltrude Mingrone as PI and Professor Marco Raffaelli as co-PI)
The research question in PICOT format (P) - Population: Adults 25 to 70 years of age and BMI ≥ 30 and ≤55 kg/m2 with histological diagnosis of NASH.
(I) - Intervention: Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass or Sleeve Gastrectomy, both plus lifestyle counseling.
(C) - Comparison: Intensive Lifestyle Modifications. (O) - Outcome: the histological resolution of NASH without worsening of fibrosis at 1 year after the interventions.
(T) - Time: One year after the intervention started.

结局指标
主要结局
histological resolution of NASH without worsening of fibrosis at 1 year after the interventions
时间窗: 1 year
Histological diagnosis of NASH is established according to widely accepted criteria, using the NAFLD activity score (NAS) algorithm proposed by the NASH Clinical Research Network (CRN). These criteria include presence of steatosis in \>5% of hepatocytes, hepatocellular ballooning and lobular inflammatory infiltrates. The presence and stages of fibrosis will be also assessed using the NASH-CRN system: stage 0 =no fibrosis; stage 1 =centrilobular pericellular fibrosis; stage 2 =centrilobular and periportal fibrosis; stage 3 =bridging fibrosis; and stage 4 =cirrhosis.
次要结局
- Changes in insulin sensitivity(1 year)
- Changes in food intake(1 year)
- Changes in glycemic control (only in diabetic patients)(1 year)
- Adverse health events including the need for re-operation(1 year)
- Improvement of at least 1 point of histological liver fibrosis without worsening of NASH(1 year)
- Changes in physical activity(1 year)
- Changes in body composition: Fat-Free Mass (FFM), Fat Mass (FM).(1 year)
