About this trial
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a chronic, serious, life-threatening, inflammatory liver disease characterized by increased liver fat content, inflammation, and progressive fibrosis. The overall prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is rapidly rising world-wide.
ECC4703 is a potential new treatment for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
The purpose of this research is to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of sulfasalazine and pitavastatin when combined with ECC4703.
