A Study Evaluating Efruxifermin in Subjects With Compensated Cirrhosis Due to NASH/MASH

Researching Efruxifermin for liver health in NASH/MASH patients.

18-80 years
All
Phase 3

Study Overview: This study is testing a drug called efruxifermin (EFX) for people with compensated cirrhosis due to NASH/MASH. Cirrhosis is when liver tissue gets scarred instead of being healthy. NASH/MASH is a liver problem caused by fat buildup, not alcohol. The study is randomized (participants are randomly chosen to get the drug or not), double-blind (neither the doctors nor the participants know who gets the drug), and placebo-controlled (some people will get a fake treatment, called a placebo, to compare results).

Eligibility: To join, participants should have compensated cirrhosis (liver still works well) caused by NASH/MASH. This could be confirmed by a biopsy (taking a small piece of liver to look at) or other tests. People with other liver diseases, certain types of diabetes, or liver problems that have gotten worse over time can't join.

  • Duration & Visits: Participants will need to attend multiple visits over the study period.
  • Compensation: Participants may receive compensation for their time and travel expenses.
  • Risks: Participants should consider potential side effects or risks associated with the drug or placebo.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.
