Brief Summary

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

A double-blind placebo controlled randomized Phase 2 study to determine if JKB-122 compared with placebo resolves NASH on liver biopsy and improves fibrosis

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a Phase 2 study in which JKB-122 is given once daily for 52 weeks to subjects with Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with Fibrosis who have biopsy reading more than NAS 4 with a fibrosis reading more than 1 and no cirrhosis. Subjects will be at least 18 years of age, either male or female.
