This is a multi-center evaluation of efruxifermin (EFX) in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in subjects with NASH/MASH cirrhosis and fibrosis stage 4.
Primary objective is to evaluate the effect of EFX compared to placebo on achieving
NASH/MASH resolution AND fibrosis regression at Week 52 (in
Cohort 1 only) and to evaluate the effect of EFX compared to placebo on all-cause
mortality and liver-related clinical outcomes as measured by the
time to first occurrence of any of the predefined, adjudicated events
in subjects with NASH/MASH and fibrosis.
This Phase III trial aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of survodutide (BI 456906) once weekly versus placebo on defined as resolution of steatohepatitis, reduction of liver fibrosis in liver biopsy and long-term improvement in clinical liver outcomes observed in trial participants with MASH and fibrosis stage F2-F3.
