Researchers are evaluating the effects of pelacarsen (TQJ230), given as a monthly injection under the skin, in people with mild to moderate calcific aortic valve stenosis. This study aims to see if pelacarsen can safely slow the progression of this heart valve condition compared to a placebo. The trial is a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted at multiple centers. Participants will receive either pelacarsen 80 mg or a matching placebo once a month. Before starting the treatment, they must have elevated lipoprotein(a) levels and be optimally treated for existing cardiovascular risk factors. The study focuses on those aged 50 to under 80 years with mild or moderate calcific aortic valve stenosis. During the 36 months of participation, researchers will monitor changes in peak aortic jet velocity and aortic valve calcium score to assess disease progression. Safety, tolerability, and the impact of the treatment will be evaluated. Participants will undergo regular assessments, including laboratory tests and clinical evaluations, to track heart valve condition and overall health throughout the study.

This research aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of efimosfermin alfa in improving liver fibrosis and resolving steatohepatitis in adults with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) confirmed by biopsy showing stage F2 or F3 fibrosis. The study compares efimosfermin alfa to a placebo and focuses on individuals with confirmed liver damage and metabolic syndrome features. Participants will receive either efimosfermin alfa or placebo, administered as a drug treatment. The study is designed as a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with three groups. Treatment effects will be assessed over 52 weeks, with a primary focus on liver fibrosis and steatohepatitis changes. The study includes long-term monitoring of liver-related clinical outcomes up to 48 months after randomization. During the study, participants will undergo liver biopsies confirmed by central pathology review, and researchers will monitor liver function and fibrosis improvement.
