About this trial

The study will assess the efficacy and safety of 2 dose regimens of pegozafermin compared to placebo for the treatment of liver fibrosis stage F2 or F3 in adult participants with MASH.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Number of Participants With at Least an Improvement of Fibrosis ≥1 Stage Without Worsening of Steatohepatitis at Week 52

Worsening of steatohepatitis is defined as increase in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) Activity Score (NAS) for ballooning, inflammation, or steatosis

Time frame
Week 52
2

Number of Participants With Resolution of Steatohepatitis Without Worsening of Fibrosis at Week 52

Resolution of steatohepatitis is defined as total absence of ballooning (score=0) and absent or mild inflammation (score 0 to 1). Worsening of fibrosis is defined as progression of fibrosis by ≥1 stage.

Time frame
Week 52
3

Time to First Occurrence of Disease Progression

Final analysis of the time to first occurrence of disease progression will be measured by a composite of protocol-specified clinical events

Time frame
Up to 5 years

Secondary outcomes

1

Percent Change from Baseline in Alanine Aminotransferase at Week 52

Time frame
Baseline, Week 52
2

Absolute Change From Baseline in Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) Score at Week 52

Time frame
Baseline, Week 52
