Early Intervention and Prevention of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Adolescents
NCT02116192 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This research study intends to learn about whether early intervention can help to prevent non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in adolescents. Potentially eligible adolescents who are seen at the University of Wisconsin (UW) Pediatric Fitness Clinic will be asked to join the study. Patients who agree to participate in the study will be randomized into either the intervention group or the control group. The intervention group will follow a low-fructose diet. In addition, participants will be asked to return to the clinic for 4 follow-up visits during a 6-month interval.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT02116192
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT02116192 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 28 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Wisconsin, Madison, which has 943 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Experimental: Low-fructose, reduced carbohydrate diet is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT02116192 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Wisconsin. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
