Researchers are evaluating whether retatrutide and tirzepatide can prevent major adverse liver outcomes in adults with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease MASLD who are at high risk based on non-invasive tests. This Phase 3 randomized controlled trial aims to assess these treatments compared to placebo in about 4,500 adults over approximately 224 weeks. The study is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and focuses on liver disease progression and related health measures. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive retatrutide, tirzepatide, or placebo, all administered by subcutaneous injection. The trial includes two placebo groups corresponding to each experimental drug. After completing the main study, eligible participants may join a 2-year extension where all will receive either retatrutide or tirzepatide regardless of their initial assignment. During the study, participants may attend around 25 to 30 clinic visits for health monitoring, study procedures, and assessments of liver function and disease status. Researchers will measure the time to major adverse liver outcomes, changes in liver fibrosis scores, liver stiffness, liver fat content, liver enzyme levels, body weight, and cardiovascular events. Monitoring will continue from baseline through study completion, with detailed evaluations at multiple timepoints including week 104.

Researchers are studying an investigational drug called ALN-HSD in adults with Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated SteatoHepatitis MASH, a liver condition caused by fat buildup that damages liver cells and causes inflammation and scarring. This condition can worsen to cirrhosis and liver failure. The study aims to evaluate how ALN-HSD affects liver scarring related to MASH and to understand its impact on liver function and inflammation, as well as potential side effects and how the drug is processed in the body. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either ALN-HSD or a placebo in a double-blind setup. The study involves a 52-week treatment period during which the effects of ALN-HSD on liver fibrosis and other liver-related biomarkers will be assessed. The trial includes genetic risk factor screening for enrollment and collects data on drug levels and metabolites. Treatment is administered according to the study protocol, with monitoring continuing through week 84 for adverse events. Throughout the study, participants will undergo liver biopsies and various laboratory tests to measure liver fibrosis, enzyme levels, and other biomarkers related to MASH. Researchers will track changes from baseline to week 52 in liver fibrosis and inflammation, along with monitoring adverse events until week 84. Participants are involved in regular assessments to evaluate the study drugs impact on their liver health over the course of the trial.

This research aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of increasing doses of NNC0662-0419 for adults living with obesity. The study is a phase 2 randomized trial comparing different dosing approaches of NNC0662-0419 and semaglutide, both administered by subcutaneous injection. Participants include adults with obesity who are committed to losing at least 25% of their body weight. Participants are randomly assigned to one of four groups receiving either NNC0662-0419 or semaglutide, or their matching placebos. All treatments are given by subcutaneous injection in a dose-escalation manner, meaning doses increase over time. This allows researchers to compare the safety and response to these drugs and their placebos. Throughout the study, participants are monitored for gastrointestinal side effects from week 0 to week 39. Body weight and body mass index BMI changes are also measured from week 0 to week 32. Participants will attend regular visits for dosing, safety assessments, and evaluations of weight and related health measures. The trial is expected to last until July 2027.
