Phase II Study of TQA2225AP025 Injection to Test Safety and Effectiveness in Adults With Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis NASH

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of TQA2225AP025, a recombinant human FGF21-Fc fusion protein, in adults with Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis NASH. It is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II study designed to assess how well two different doses of this treatment work in managing NASH, a liver condition characterized by fat buildup and inflammation. Participants will receive either 25mg or 50mg of TQA2225AP025 or a matching placebo, given by weekly subcutaneous injections for 48 weeks. The study includes two experimental groups receiving the different doses, and all treatments are administered under blinded conditions to assess the treatment effects accurately. During the study, participants will undergo liver biopsies at the start and after 48 weeks to measure changes in liver condition using the NASH CRN scoring system. Safety will be closely monitored by tracking any adverse events throughout the treatment period. The study is expected to provide detailed information on both the treatment impact on liver health and its safety profile over nearly a year of participation.
