Aramchol Versus Placebo in the Treatment of HIV-associated Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Lipodystrophy: A Randomized, Double-blinded, Allocation-concealed, Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Aramchol and Placebo for Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and HIV. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
A subset of patients with NAFLD that have not been extensively studied are those infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Currently, there is no FDA approved treatment for NAFLD or NASH. Additionally, there have been no significant clinical trials for HIV patients with NAFLD and there are no approved treatment options. We plan to conduct a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial to examine the efficacy of 600 mg of Aramchol daily (including 200 mg tablet and 400 mg tablet) versus identical placebo given over 12 weeks to improve HIV-associated hepatic steatosis as measured by a validated and accurate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based technique.

Timeline
Interventions
Aramchol, a conjugate of Cholic acid and Arachidic acid, is a first in class member of a novel family of synthetic Fatty-Acid / Bile-Acid Conjugates (FABACs). FABACs are composed of endogenic compounds, orally administrated with potentially good safety and tolerability parameters
