NAFLD encompasses benign hepatic steatosis and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), the latter being a hepatic complication linked to metabolic syndrome. Insulin resistance and dysregulation of fatty acid metabolism contribute to its pathogenesis, leading to oxidative stress, hepatocyte damage, and fibroproduction, eventually progressing to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.\n\nIdentification of high-risk NAFLD patients, particularly those with NASH, is crucial for early intervention and monitoring. However, distinguishing between benign steatosis and NASH poses a clinical challenge. Liver biopsy remains the gold standard for NASH diagnosis but is invasive and impractical for routine screening in diabetic patients.\n\nThe study aims to identify high-risk type 2 diabetics prone to NASH progression by correlating clinical and laboratory parameters with sonographic and elastographic findings. Parameters such as diabetes duration, BMI, waist/hip ratio, glycated hemoglobin, and liver function tests will be compared with real-time shear wave elastography results. This approach seeks to pinpoint indicators of liver fibrosis (NASH), facilitating targeted screening and intensified management of type 2 diabetes mellitus, potentially averting NASH complications.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '75 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'All patients diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes mellitus', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\nType 2 diabetes diagnosis\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\nAlcohol abuse (anamnestic) Hepatitis Other known liver disease (other than steatosis/steatohepatitis)'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT07098520', 'acronym': 'STEDIB', 'briefTitle': 'Biomarkers of Steatohepatitis in Type 2 Diabetes Patients', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER_GOV', 'fullName': 'Faculty Hospital Kralovske Vinohrady'}, 'officialTitle': 'Biomarkers of Steatohepatitis in Type 2 Diabetes Patients', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'STEDIB'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'Diabetes type 2', 'description': 'Patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes', 'interventionNames': ['Other: No intervention, just observation']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'No intervention, just observation', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'no intervention, study investigates biomarkers associated with a disease', 'armGroupLabels': ['Diabetes type 2']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '100 00', 'city': 'Prague', 'country': 'Czechia', 'facility': 'University Hospital Kralovske Vinohrady', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 50.08804, 'lon': 14.42076}}], 'centralContacts': [{'name': 'Jan Polak, MD, PhD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'jan.polak@lf3.cuni.cz', 'phone': '+420731181599'}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'infoTypes': ['STUDY_PROTOCOL'], 'timeFrame': 'The data will be made available starting 6 months after the study completion date for 10 years.', 'ipdSharing': 'YES', 'description': 'Data obtained through this study will be provided to qualified researchers with a legitimate research interest.', 'accessCriteria': 'Access to the data will be granted following the review and approval of a research proposal and a signed Data Sharing Agreement (DSA).
