Summary

This trial is testing a new drug, lanifibranor, to see if it can treat adults with a fatty liver disease called NASH, and who also have liver fibrosis stage 2 or 3.

Who is the study for?
Adults diagnosed with Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) and liver fibrosis stages F2 or F3 can join. They must have stable doses of certain diabetes medications for 3 months, a steatosis score ≥1, activity score A3 or A4, and agree to a liver biopsy. Excluded are those with other liver conditions like cirrhosis, alcoholic liver disease, chronic hepatitis B/C, Wilson's disease, iron overload, prior transplant or who had weight loss surgery.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Lanifibranor (IVA337), comparing it against a placebo in adults with NASH and significant scarring of the liver (fibrosis). Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the drug or placebo to assess its effectiveness and safety.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects for Lanifibranor aren't listed here, similar drugs may cause digestive issues, fatigue, headaches, skin reactions and potential changes in blood tests related to the liver.
