Study summary

Alcoholic liver disease represents the major health issues and it ranges from simple steatosis to cirrhosis. There is a paucity of data to support the allopathic intervention among these group of patients. Livitol-17 consist of the 3 whole herbs and extract which has antioxidant, hepatoprotective as well as reno-protective properties. The aim of this trial is to study the efficacy of herbal supplement to improve the liver function of alcoholic liver disease subject.

Inclusion criteria

Adults aged over 18 years with the evidence of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) based on a thorough history, physical examination, and laboratory tests and all of the following:

  • Chronic alcohol intake, Identified with AUDIT(Alcohol Use Disorder Inventory Test) Questionnaire
  • Active alcohol use until 4 weeks prior to presentation
  • and AST elevated >1.5 times the
  • Over 1.5 ratio of AST to ALT
  • Maddrey Discriminant function(DF) less than 30

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Severe alcoholic hepatitis with cirrhosis or less than 3 months
  • Severe renal impairment ( below 60 ml/min per 1.73m2)
  • Hepatic disorders due to cardiac causes, inherited metabolic causes, hemochromatosis and Wilson's disease
  • Participants with active viral hepatitis
  • Under going active treatment for alcohol withdrawal syndrome(AWS) at the study entry
  • Participants on hepatotoxic medications like antitubercular medication, antiviral medication, paracetamol etc.
  • Pregnant, attempting to conceive, or lactating women
  • Participating in another clinical trial with an active intervention or drug or device with last dose taken within 60 days.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

    Intervention Group

    All the eligible participants will receive Livitol-17 capsules. It consist of 390 mg of whole herbs and extract of Phyllanthus niruri (Bhumyamalaki), Boerhaavia diffusa (Punarnava) and Picroorrhiza kurroa (Katuki).

    Drug: Livitol-70

Interventions

  • DrugLivitol-70

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 20, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
