Researchers are evaluating efruxifermin EFX in a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving adults with compensated cirrhosis caused by NASH Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis or MASH Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis. This study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of EFX in preventing significant clinical events such as disease progression and liver decompensation over a period of up to 5 years. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either efruxifermin 50 mg or a placebo, both given by subcutaneous injection. The study includes two cohorts one with biopsy-proven compensated cirrhosis and specific metabolic scores, and another with biopsy-proven or non-invasive diagnosis of compensated cirrhosis. The study treatment and monitoring extend up to 5 years, with evaluations at 96 weeks and long-term follow-up to track liver fibrosis, markers of liver injury, insulin sensitivity, glycemic control, body weight, and safety outcomes. During the trial, participants undergo regular assessments including laboratory tests, ECGs, ultrasounds, and vital sign monitoring. Researchers will measure changes in liver fibrosis, steatohepatitis resolution, and metabolic markers throughout the study. Safety and tolerability are closely tracked by documenting adverse events and exposure duration. The study duration allows for long-term observation of treatment effects and disease progression, with participant involvement lasting up to 5 years.

Researchers are evaluating whether survodutide can help adults with liver diseases called non-alcoholic steatohepatitis NASH or metabolic-associated steatohepatitis MASH who have cirrhosis and a body mass index BMI of 27 kgm2 or higher 25 kgm2 for Asian participants. The study compares survodutide to a placebo to see if it improves liver function and related health outcomes over time. This is a Phase III trial with participants randomly assigned to groups, and it is double-blind, meaning neither participants nor doctors know who gets the medicine or placebo. Participants receive weekly injections of survodutide or placebo under the skin and get regular counseling on diet and exercise. The study lasts up to four and a half years, with visits either in person or via video call every 2, 4, or 6 weeks for about 17 months, then every 3 months thereafter until the study ends. The study collects health data including body weight, liver imaging results, and symptom questionnaires to assess the treatment effects. During the study, doctors monitor participants health and record any side effects. Liver health is checked using imaging methods at certain visits, and participants fill out questionnaires about their symptoms. The primary outcome measures include time to serious liver-related events and overall survival. Secondary outcomes look at changes in liver fibrosis, body weight, blood sugar control, liver stiffness, and other blood markers. The study aims to provide detailed long-term information on survodutides impact on liver disease and safety.

Researchers are evaluating survodutide, a medicine given by weekly injection, in adults aged 18 and older who have obesity and a liver disease called non-alcoholic steatohepatitis NASH or metabolic associated steatohepatitis MASH with moderate or advanced liver fibrosis. The study aims to see if survodutide can improve liver function and slow disease progression. This Phase III trial compares survodutide to a placebo, with participants randomly assigned to one of the two groups, and neither participants nor doctors know who receives which treatment. Participants inject survodutide or placebo under their skin once a week, with doses gradually increasing to a target level. All participants also receive counseling to encourage diet changes and regular exercise. The study has two parts the first focuses on the effect of survodutide on liver fibrosis and MASH over 52 weeks, and the second assesses long-term safety and effectiveness up to 7 years. Participants are involved for up to 7 years, with visits to the study site or remote video calls starting every 2 weeks, then every 4 and 6 weeks, and eventually alternating every 3 months. During visits, doctors monitor health, weight, and digestive effects, perform liver imaging, and collect liver tissue samples at select times. Participants complete questionnaires about symptoms and quality of life. Researchers measure changes in liver disease markers, body weight, blood tests, and monitor safety and serious outcomes like progression to cirrhosis or liver-related events.
