About this study

Official title: A Phase 2a, Randomized, Double-Blind, Multicenter, Placebo-Controlled Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Efficacy of EYP001a in Patients With Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of EYP001a (Vonafexor) with respect to safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and on markers of liver inflammation in patients with NASH

Read the detailed description

This is a 2-part, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Vonafexor in patients with NASH who likely have stage F2 to F3 fibrosis at approximately 50 global clinical sites. Overall, approximately 114 eligible patients will be enrolled: 24 patients in Part A (Safety Run-in Cohort), followed by 90 patients in Part B.

In Part A, 24 patients will be randomized on Day 1 to 1 of 4 parallel treatment groups: 100 mg Vonafexor twice daily (BID), 200 mg Vonafexor once daily (QD), 400 mg Vonafexor QD, or placebo BID. In Part B, 90 patients will be randomized on Day 1 to 1 of 3 parallel treatment groups: 100 mg Vonafexor QD, 200 mg Vonafexor QD, or placebo QD.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Analysis of Absolute Change From Baseline in Percentage of Fat in the Liver as Assessed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging - Proton Density Fat Fraction (MRI-PDFF)

    The liver fat percentage was assessed by MRI-PDFF, which is an established method that enables the quantification of fat content in the liver; the value of liver fat is expressed in percentage and ranges from 0 to 100% with higher values representing higher liver fat level.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Analysis of Change From Baseline in Glomerular Filtration rate_Part B

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Analysis of Percent Change (Relative) From Baseline in Percentage of Fat in the Liver as Assessed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging - Proton Density Fat Fraction (MRI-PDFF)

    The liver fat percentage was assessed by MRI-PDFF, which is an established method that enables the quantification of fat content in the liver; the value of liver fat is expressed in percentage and ranges from 0 to 100% with higher values representing higher liver fat level.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. Analysis of Change From Baseline in Corrected T1 (CT1)

    Measured: 12 weeks

  4. Analysis of Change From Baseline in Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)

    Measured: 12 weeks

  5. Analysis of Change From Baseline in Gamma Glutamyltranspeptidase (GT)

    Measured: 12 weeks

  6. Analysis of Change From Baseline in Body Weight

    Measured: 12 weeks

  7. Analysis of Change From Baseline in Waist Circumference

    Measured: 12 weeks

  8. Analysis of Change From Baseline in Waist to Hip ratio_Part B

    Measured: 12 weeks

  9. Analysis of Change From Baseline in Glomerular Filtration rate_Part A

    For Part A, as per ICH, analysis were performed as defined in the SAP: data from the 3 vonafexor treatment groups were pooled and compared with the placebo group.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Vonafexor in people with Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis, run by Enyo Pharma at 42 sites in 5 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 May 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 42 sites in United States, France, United Kingdom, Belgium, Puerto Rico. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 May 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Analysis of Absolute Change From Baseline in Percentage of Fat in the Liver as Assessed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging - Proton Density Fat Fraction (MRI-PDFF) (time frame: 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03812029, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 May 2023.
