About this trial

The goal of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of GSK4532990 in participants with alcohol-related liver disease.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Capable of giving signed informed consent prior to the performance of any study-specific procedures.

Able and willing to comply with all study assessments and adhere to the protocol schedule of activities.

In the opinion of the investigator, there is a history of alcohol consumption compatible with either ALD or Met ALD.

A female participant is eligible to participate after meeting additional pre-defined criteria.

Disqualifiers

Meeting any definition of organ system failure as defined by the North American Consortium for Study of End-stage Liver Disease (NACSELD)

Exceeding pre-defined biochemical parameters for Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), Platelets, International normalised ratio (INR), Albumin, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), Urine albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) or Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c). Other primary causes of liver disease based on study criteria.

Current malignancy (except for basal cell carcinoma or uterine carcinoma-in-situ) at screening. Participants under evaluation for possible malignancy at screening are not eligible.

Prior organ transplant or current listing or active consideration for organ transplant during the screening period (except for corneal transplants).

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Number of participants with adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)

Time frame
Up to 8 weeks
2

Number of participants with potentially clinically relevant changes in electrocardiogram (ECG), vital signs, and clinical laboratory tests

Time frame
Up to 8 weeks
3

Change from baseline in Liver Stiffness measurement (LSM) reduction using FibroScan® at Week 52 (kiloPascal)

Liver stiffness will be measured by vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) using the FibroScan® device.

Time frame
Baseline (Day 1) and up to Week 52
4

Change from baseline in model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score reduction at Week 52

MELD is a scoring system for assessing the severity of chronic liver disease. MELD scores range between 6 and 40, with 40 being the most severe.

Time frame
Baseline (Day 1) and up to Week 52

Secondary outcomes

1

Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of GSK4532990

Time frame
Up to Day 4
2

Area Under the Curve from Time 0 to t [AUC (0-t)] of GSK4532990

Time frame
Up to Day 4
3

Area Under the Curve from Time 0 to 24 hours [AUC (0-24)] of GSK4532990

Time frame
Up to 24 hours
4

Plasma half-life (t1/2) of GSK4532990

Time frame
Up to Day 4
