Brief Summary

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

This is a Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multiple arm, multicenter study of 3 different doses of HPG1860 versus placebo in subjects with biopsy-confirmed or phenotypic NASH.

Detailed Description

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

This is a Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multiple arm, multicenter study of 3 different doses of HPG1860 versus placebo in subjects with biopsy-confirmed or phenotypic NASH. Screening will occur up to 5 weeks prior to randomization; all eligible subjects will have baseline hepatic imaging during Screening, prior to randomization. Approximately 80 eligible subjects will be randomized 1:1:1:1 on Day 1/Week 0 (T1) to receive either HPG1860 3 mg (n = 20), or 5 mg (n = 20), or 8 mg (n = 20), or placebo (n = 20) for 12 weeks. Following a preplanned interim analysis, a dose cohort may be dropped and/or added.

Participants Caregivers Investigators Outcome Assessors
During this study, subjects, investigators, the Sponsor, and the clinical research organization (CRO) (except specific vendors whose role in study conduct requires their unblinding, eg, personnel operationally associated with the interactive response technology \[IRT\]) will be blinded to the study intervention assignment. Study team personnel will remain blinded throughout the study with the exception of a Sponsor Committee who will review interim analysis results and make decisions regarding dropping and/or adding a treatment cohort and an unblinded study team member assigned to monitor that at least 6 subjects in each dose cohort had serial PK measurements taken.
