ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a new treatment for adults with Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), a liver condition that can lead to serious health issues. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a combination therapy using two investigational drugs, K-877-ER and CSG452. Researchers are currently recruiting participants who are at least 18 years old and have specific liver health criteria, including a certain level of fat buildup and inflammation in the liver, along with some degree of liver scarring.

If you or someone you know is considering participating, you should be aware that participants will need to understand and agree to the study procedures. They should not have been involved in another clinical trial for at least 30 days prior, and they should not have significant alcohol use or other chronic liver diseases. Throughout the trial, participants will undergo evaluations and possibly liver biopsies to help doctors understand how well the new treatment works. This could be an important opportunity for individuals looking for new options to manage their liver health.
