Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Efinopegdutide (MK-6024) in Participants With Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) (MK-6024-001) (NCT NCT04944992)

NCT ID: NCT04944992

Last Updated: 2023-11-15

Results Overview

LFC was measured with liver images taken by MRI-PDFF and analyzed by BICR. Relative Reduction from Baseline to Week 24 = (Baseline - Week 24) / Baseline x 100%. Mean relative reduction from baseline in liver fat content is presented.

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. The percentage of participants who experienced an adverse event is presented.
