How this study is set up

The points below are drawn from the public registry record for this study. Each one cites the field or sentence it came from. A dash (—) means the record does not state something — not that it is missing or wrong. Many well-run studies, especially small ones, leave some of these blank.

  • Not stated: Registered after enrolment began (about 52 days after the recorded start)First posted 2024-01-22; recorded start 2023-12-01
  • Present: Has a defined primary outcomeA primary outcome measure is listed in the record
  • Present: The primary outcome states a time frameThe primary outcome measure records a time frame

  • Not stated: A data monitoring committee is not stated in the registry recordThis registry's ingested record has no data-monitoring-committee fieldA data monitoring committee is not required for many smaller studies, and its absence here is not unusual.

Trial stature

Three independent measures of this study, described from its registry record — not a recommendation about it. A rigorous study by investigators nobody has heard of is better evidence than a weak study led by a famous one. How these are scored.

Methodological rigourSTRONG

A strong methodological design for a phase 3 study, judged from its ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Investigator standingUNKNOWN

We have no verifiable track record for the investigator named on this trial. That is common for early-career investigators and for records held outside ClinicalTrials.gov — it is not a negative signal.

How this score is built
  • Investigator standing0/100

    No investigator recorded in the registry for this trial

These describe the registry record only, and today we hold ClinicalTrials.gov data. Absent fields lower a score, and absence often reflects registration practice rather than study quality. A high-stature trial is not necessarily safer or a better choice for you — enrolling in a large definitive trial can mean a higher chance of receiving placebo, while a small early-phase study may be the only route to a new therapy.

Resumen

This is a multi-center evaluation of efruxifermin (EFX) in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in subjects with non-cirrhotic NASH/MASH and fibrosis stage 2 or 3 (F2 or F3). The study will enroll subjects in two cohorts for a total samples size of 1650 subjects.

This is a Phase 3, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety and efficacy of efruxifermin (EFX) in subjects with non-cirrhotic nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)/metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and fibrosis stage 2 or 3 (F2 or F3). Approximately 1,650 subjects will be enrolled into 2 cohorts. Cohort 1 will enroll approximately 750 subjects with biopsy-confirmed NASH/MASH and fibrosis stage F2 or F3. Subjects in Cohort 1 will undergo evaluation of histologic efficacy endpoints at Week 52. Cohort 2 will enroll approximately 900 subjects with biopsy-confirmed fibrosis stage F3. Subjects in Cohort 2 may enroll regardless of NAFLD Activity Score (NAS). Subjects in Cohort 2 will undergo liver biopsy assessment at Week 96. Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive: * EFX 28 mg administered subcutaneously once weekly * EFX 50 mg administered subcutaneously once weekly * Placebo administered subcutaneously once weekly Subjects will participate in: * a screening period of up to 12 weeks, * a 52-week primary histology endpoint treatment period (Cohort 1), * a 96-week secondary histology endpoint period (Cohort 2), * long-term treatment and clinical outcomes follow-up for up to approximately -240 weeks total treatment duration, and * a follow-up visit approximately 30 days after the last dose of study drug. The study will evaluate the effects of EFX compared with placebo on histologic improvement in NASH/MASH, fibrosis regression, noninvasive markers of liver fibrosis, biochemistry markers of lipidic and glycemic metabolism, liver-related clinical outcomes, and long-term safety. Clinical outcomes assessments include evaluation of liver-related events and all-cause mortality. Key secondary and long-term outcome assessments include evaluation of fibrosis progression, liver stiffness by FibroScan, and Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) score at prespecified time points including Weeks 96 and 240. Subjects who discontinue study drug may continue study assessments according to the protocol schedule to support long-term efficacy and safety evaluations.

Inclusion Criteria: * Males and non-pregnant, non-lactating females between 18 - 80 years of age inclusive, based on the date of the screening visit. * Previous history or presence of 2 out of 4 components of metabolic syndrome (obesity, dyslipidemia, elevated blood pressure, elevated fasting glucose) or type 2 diabetes. * Cohort 1: Biopsy-proven NASH/MASH. Must have had a liver biopsy obtained ≤ 180 days prior to screening with fibrosis stage 2 or 3 and a non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) activity score (NAS) of ≥ 4 with at least a score of 1 in each of the following NAS components: * Steatosis (scored 0 to 3), * Ballooning degeneration (scored 0 to 2), and * Lobular inflammation (scored 0 to 3). * Cohort 2: Biopsy-proven fibrosis stage 3. Must have had a liver biopsy obtained ≤ 180 days prior to screening. Subjects with NAS \<4 may be enrolled and are not required to meet 1 point in each of the components of NAS. Exclusion Criteria: * Other causes of liver disease based on medical history and/or liver histology and/or central laboratory results. * Presence of cirrhosis on liver biopsy (fibrosis stage 4). * Type 1 or uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes. Other inclusion and exclusion criteria may apply.
