Haptoglobin Genotype and Vitamin E Versus Placebo for the Treatment of Nondiabetic Patients With Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis in China: A Multicenter, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial Design

Initiatives -
This clinical trial of vitamin E versus placebo for the treatment of nondiabetic patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (VENS) is conducted to evaluate (a) the efficacy and safety of treatment with vitamin E softgel (300 mg/day) determined from standardized histologic scoring of liver biopsies, (b) whether treatment with vitamin E improves biochemical parameters, cytokines, anthropometric parameters, controlled attenuation parameter (CAP), and transient elastography (TE) values determined by Fibroscan and health-related quality of life (SF-36), (c) whether the efficacy of vitamin E treatment is associated with the Hp genotype in nondiabetic adults with NASH. Note: All published information has been collected from the article referenced in the Marker Paper box below. Therefore, there may be variations with more advanced versions of the study.

Health Status
  • Body Mass Index(BMI) < 35 kg/m2, patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) based on liver biopsy obtained within 6 months before randomization. The histological evidence of NASH was defined as Non - alcoholic fatty liver disease activity score（NAS）≥ 4 (according to Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Clinical Research Network, NASH CRN) with a minimum 1 score for steatosis, lobular inflammation, and hepatocyte ballooning respectively. Fibrosis stage 0-3 according to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis clinical research network（NASH CRN). Without history of significant alcohol consumption for a period of more than 3 months within 5 years (<10 g/day for female and < 20 g/day for male). The lab test results should meet the requirements: ① Alanine aminotransferase （ALT） < 5 times of normal upper limit ② Creatinine (Cr)< normal upper limit ③ Albumin （ALB）> 3.5g/L ④ International normalized ratio（INR）= 0.8-1.3 ⑤ Fasting plasma glucose(FPG) < 126mg/dL（7mmol/L） and/or 2h postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) < 200mg/dL（11.1mmol/L）and/ or HbA1C < 6.5 % If a participant with hypertension, he/she was required a stable antihypertensive drug(s) to keep blood pressure stable.(blood pressure < 140/90 mmHg) 3 months prior to randomization. If a participant using a statin or fibrate, he/she was required on a stable dose to keep lipid stable (triglyceride(TG) < 1.7 mmol/L, total cholesterol (TC) < 5.72 mmol/L, LDL-c < 3.64 mmol/L) 3 months prior to randomization. Women of childbearing potential: negative pregnancy test during screening or at randomization or willingness to use an effective form of birth control during the trial(at least include one barrier contraceptive method) and not breast feeding Men must agree to use an effective form of birth control during the trial(at least include one barrier contraceptive method) All participants are needed to sign the informed consent form.
