Summary

This trial tests two drugs, tropifexor and licogliflozin, both together and separately, to treat adults with a liver condition called NASH. Tropifexor helps reduce liver inflammation and fat buildup, while licogliflozin helps control blood sugar and also reduces liver fat. Tropifexor has shown promise in reducing liver inflammation in preliminary studies, while licogliflozin has demonstrated a significant improvement in liver health in patients with NASH. The goal is to find out if these treatments are safe and effective for people with NASH.
