Misocholic Tablets for Non-Viral Elevated Liver Enzymes

Elevated liver enzymes are common laboratory abnormalities that may result from alcohol-related liver disease, drug-induced liver injury, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Persistent elevation of liver enzymes may indicate ongoing hepatocellular injury and increase the risk of progressive liver disease. Current management primarily focuses on treating the underlying cause and providing supportive care, while evidence for effective hepatoprotective therapies remains limited. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Misocholic Tab, a film-coated herbal medicine, in adults with mild to moderate elevation of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and/or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) associated with alcohol-related liver disease, drug-induced liver injury, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either Misocholic Tab or matching placebo for 30 days. Both groups will receive standard background therapy with silymarin. The primary objective is to compare the change in serum ALT and AST levels from baseline to Day 30 between the two treatment groups. Secondary objectives include evaluating the proportion of participants whose liver enzyme levels return to the normal range and assessing the safety of Misocholic Tab through clinical evaluation, laboratory testing, and monitoring of adverse events.
