Official title
A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-blinded, Placebo-controlled Study of Efimosfermin Alfa in Participants With Biopsy-confirmed Cirrhosis (Compensated) Due to Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatohepatitis (MASH)
Overview
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of efimosfermin in participants with metabolic dysfunction associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and compensated cirrhosis consistent with stage F4 fibrosis.
Interventions
- Drug Efimosfermin
Efimosfermin will be administered as a subcutaneous injection. - Drug Placebo
Placebo will be administered as a subcutaneous injection.
Primary outcome measures
- Number of participants with treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) [Time frame: From Day 1 to 100 weeks]
Secondary outcome measures (5)
- Serum concentrations of efimosfermin [Time frame: Up to Week 21]
- Maximum serum drug concentration (Cmax) of efimosfermin [Time frame: Up to Week 21]
- Area under the serum concentration-time curve (AUC) of efimosfermin [Time frame: Up to Week 21]
- Average serum drug concentration (Cavg) of efimosfermin [Time frame: Up to Week 21]
- Concentration of study drug at the end of the dosing interval (Ctrough) of efimosfermin [Time frame: Up to Week 21]
