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.
