Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) has no cure, and the disease is highly underdiagnosed. Prevalence is expected to rise in the coming years, so the need for treatments is high.

NASH clinical trials have notoriously high screening failure rates. Our clinical research experience and proprietary site networks enable us to implement innovative NASH study design and execution tactics that fine-tune recruitment procedures, accelerate study startup, and shorten project timelines.

Meet our leaders for NASH clinical trials

Our scientific leader for NASH is Prof. dr. Manuel Castro Cabezas, a Julius Clinical scientific officer and senior consultant for internal medicine, endocrinology, and vascular medicine at the Franciscus Gasthuis Rotterdam. He has also been at the forefront of creating the NASH Think Tank, a group of leading NASH experts who meet regularly to refine best practices.

Julius Clinical is also proud to work with Prof. dr. Christophe Moreno, professor in gastroenterology and hepatology, clinical director of the liver unit at CUB Hôpital Erasme, Brussels, Belgium, and consultant to the NASH Clinical team.

Our proprietary network, NASH Clinical, is a global network of clinicians and investigators that includes endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, diabetologists, and general internists with connections to hospitals worldwide. They have vast experience as a group and are devoted to improving NASH trials.

To help in the early identification of NASH patients, Julius Clinical initiated the Global Research Initiative for Patients screening on NASH (GRIP on NASH) research project. This is a multinational program in which at-risk patients are screened for NAFLD and NASH. Through GRIP on NASH, the number of patients per site per year could be doubled or even tripled, greatly alleviating the difficulty of a depleted NASH patient population.


We are dedicated to providing fast, high-quality patient recruitment and retention rates for NASH clinical trials, Our team has years of experience and will provide a tailor-made solution that suits your trial’s exact needs.


Our expert NASH team

Julius Clinical has an expert team that can conduct streamlined global NASH clinical trials. This in-house team brings insightful solutions to the biggest challenges, including scarcity of qualified sites and adequate access to patients.
