Antibiotic tested as new weapon against fatty liver

NCT ID NCT07381257

Summary

This early-stage study is testing whether a gut-targeted antibiotic called rifaximin-α can reduce fat buildup in the liver for people with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Sixty participants will be assigned to take the drug or not for 24 weeks while also following diet and exercise advice. The main goal is to see if the treatment safely lowers liver fat content, measured by MRI scans.
