Developing Microbial Therapy for MASLD: From Mechanism to Clinical Validation Phase 1 40 Dietary

Recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT07488975 (MASLD) is designed to study Treatment for Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease. It is a Phase 1 interventional study that is recruiting, having started on January 22, 2025, with plans to enroll 40 participants. Led by Leeuwenhoek Laboratories Co. Ltd., it is expected to complete by December 31, 2026. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on March 23, 2026.
Brief Summary
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), redefined in 2020, is an improved diagnostic standard evolved from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), emphasizing the correlation between hepatic steatosis and metabolic dysfunction. Compared to NAFLD, which relies on exclusion-based diagnosis, MASLD criteria enhance population homogeneity in studies and accommodate patients with coexisting liv...Show More
Detailed Description
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of administering indigenously derived inactivated Akkermansia muciniphila (pAKK_LWHK0003) on improving fatty liver in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and to assess its clinical safety.

  • Fibroscan,CAP ≧ 260db/m

A. Pregnant women or women who are breastfeeding. B. Use of probiotics and prebiotic-related products (including yogurt, yogurt, Yakult, etc.) within 14 days before the screening visit.

C. Patients who have used antibiotics (except skin lotions) or antifungal drugs within 30 days before the screening visit.

D. Use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) within six months prior to the screening visit.

E. Use of drugs that may affect the evaluation index within 14 days before the screening visit, during the screening visit, or during the planned trial period, such as steroids, immunosuppressants, or anti-inflammatory drugs, or drugs containing ingredients for treating hepatitis or affecting fat metabolism, including HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins), fibrates, silymarin, thiazolidinediones, metformin, cholestyramine, ezetimibe, orlistat, and sodium-glucose transporter type 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i). This restriction does not apply if the above-mentioned drugs have been used continuously for more than six months and the dosage is not changed during the trial.
