Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a Phase 2 multi-center, randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TVB-2640 in subjects with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a type of fatty liver disease. Subjects will be randomly assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups (TVB-2640 at one of three doses or placebo). Following randomization, subjects will begin the 12-week treatment period and will receive once daily TVB-2640 or placebo.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Aged ≥ 18 years with a body mass index (BMI) ≤40 kg/m2.
2. Prior liver biopsy within 24 months of randomization with fibrosis Stage 1 to 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
* Ballooning degeneration
* Lobular inflammation

AND

* Confirmation of ≥ 8% liver fat content on MRI-PDFF.

OR, if prior biopsy is not available:

* Either overweight or obese or diabetic or ALT ≥ 30 U/L or fatty liver on ultrasound and at least one more feature of metabolic syndrome by Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) criteria.

AND

* Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) ≥ 2.5 kPa and MRI-PDFF ≥ 8% during screening.

Exclusion Criteria

Subjects meeting any of the following criteria are not eligible for enrollment in the study.

1. History of significant alcohol consumption for a period of more than 3 consecutive months within 1 year prior to screening.

Note: Significant alcohol consumption is defined as average of \> 20 g/day in female subjects and \> 30 g/day in male subjects.
2. Type 1 diabetes.
3. Uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes defined as:

* HbA1c ≥ 9.5% during screening. (Subjects with HbA1c ≥ 9.5% may be rescreened).
* Basal insulin dose adjustment \> 10% within 60 days prior to enrollment.
* Requirement for glucagon-like peptide analogue or a complex oral anti-diabetic (OAD) regimen (3 or more OADs) within 6 months of screening.
* History of severe hypoglycemia (symptomatic hypoglycemia requiring outside assistance to regain normal neurologic status) within the previous year.

Note: Individual diabetes regimens will be reviewed by Investigator and may be adjusted based on American Diabetes Association guidelines.
4. Presence of cirrhosis on liver biopsy (Stage 4 fibrosis) or imaging.
