About this trial

This study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (how the body absorbs, distributes, metabolizes, and eliminates the drug), and pharmacodynamics (how the drug affects the body) of resmetirom in children and adolescents with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and liver fibrosis. Participants will receive oral resmetirom once daily for approximately 14 days at one of several dose levels. The information from this study will help determine appropriate dosing and further evaluate the safety and biological effects of resmetirom in pediatric participants with MASH.

Parent(s) or legal guardian(s) able to provide written informed consent (as required by local regulations), with participant assent obtained as applicable.

Diagnose of MASH with fibrosis stage F1-F3 based on a liver biopsy obtained within 24 months before Screening.

Hepatic fat fraction ≥8% by magnetic resonance imaging-proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) obtained during the Screening period.

Disqualifiers

Previous exposure to resmetirom.

Clinically significant liver disease other than MASH or evidence of cirrhosis (F4), decompensated liver disease, or other hepatic conditions that may interfere with study participation or interpretation of results.
