Trial Outcomes & Findings for Clinical Trial to Evaluate Efficacy of GR-MD-02 for Treatment of Liver Fibrosis in Patients With NASH With Advanced Fibrosis (NCT NCT02421094)

NCT ID: NCT02421094

Last Updated: 2020-10-08

Results Overview

Difference in baseline adjusted mean change in liver fibrosis of corrected T1 (cT1) mapping with LiverMultiScan (LMS). LiverMultiScan is CE marked as a class IIa medical device. Corrected T1 (cT1) is a Magnetic Resonance (MR) relaxation parameter/measure from the device.The measure cT1 can be compared across different Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems and sites. It is an emerging biomarker for rapid quantification of hepatic fibro-inflammatory disease. In unhealthy tissue, such as in inflamed and fibrotic tissues, measures result in longer cT1-relaxation.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 16 weeks

Baseline-adjusted change in liver stiffness as measured by MR-elastography. Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a technology that uses MRI imaging with low-frequency vibrations to create a visual map (elastogram) that shows stiffness of body tissues. Currently, MRE is used to detect stiffening of the liver caused by fibrosis and inflammation in chronic liver disease. Liver stiffness increases with liver damage/disease.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 16 weeks

Baseline-adjusted change in liver stiffness as measured by FibroScan® scores. FibroScan measures scarring by measuring the stiffness of your liver. The fibrosis result is measured in kilopascals (kPa). It's normally between 2 and 6 kPa. Many people with liver disease(s) have a result that's higher than the normal range.
