Efficacy and Safety of Picroliv in Patients With Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

This is a Phase III, multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, interventional study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a standardized fraction of Picrorhiza kurroa Royal Ex Benth (Picroliv®) in adults with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). A total of 170 adults aged 18-60 years with uncomplicated NAFLD (fibrosis stage up to F2) will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either Picroliv 100 mg capsules twice daily or matching placebo, in addition to standard of care, for a treatment duration of 24 weeks. Standard of care includes dietary and lifestyle modifications, exercise recommendations, and management of comorbid conditions as per routine clinical practice. The study aims to assess the efficacy of Picroliv in improving hepatic and metabolic parameters and to evaluate its safety profile compared with placebo. Participants will be followed for a total study duration of 48 weeks. The trial will be conducted across six clinical sites in India.
