Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Proportion of participants achieving NASH resolution without worsening of fibrosis based on histology after 52 weeks treatment [ Time Frame: after 52 weeks ]
    To assess the effect of AZD2693 versus placebo on histological resolution of NASH in participants with non-cirrhotic NASH with fibrosis and PNPLA3 risk allele carriers after 52 weeks


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Proportion of participants with at least one stage of liver fibrosis improvement with no worsening of NASH based on biopsy after 52 weeks treatment [ Time Frame: after 52 weeks ]
    To assess the effects of AZD2693 versus placebo on histological fibrosis improvement

  2. Proportion of participants with ≥ 2-point improvement from baseline in NAS based on biopsy after 52 weeks treatment [ Time Frame: after 52 weeks ]
    To assess the effect of AZD2693 versus placebo on ≥ 2-point improvement in NAS

  3. Proportion of participants with improvement in fibrosis by at least one stage based on biopsy after 52 weeks treatment [ Time Frame: after 52 weeks ]
    To assess the effect of AZD2693 versus placebo on improvement in fibrosis by at least one stage


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Number of participants with Adverse Events/Serious Adverse Events (AEs/SAEs) and abnormal laboratory test results [ Time Frame: 64 weeks ]
    Haematology, urinalysis, clinical chemistry and eGFR

  2. Number of participants with Adverse Events/Serious Adverse Events (AEs/SAEs) and abnormal clinical test results [ Time Frame: 64 weeks ]
    Vital signs and electrocardiogram (ECG) assessments

Criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria :

Participants are eligible to be included in the study only if all the following criteria apply:

Age

  1. Participant must be 18 to 75 years of age (inclusive) at the time of signing the informed consent.

    Type of Participant and Disease Characteristics

  2. Participants who are carriers for the PNPLA3 rs738409 148M risk allele.

  3. Participants with histological evidence of NASH based on central pathologist evaluation of a liver biopsy obtained up to 6 months before randomisation, or during screening, fulfilling both criteria:

    1. Definitive NASH with NAS ≥ 4 with ≥ 1 in each component (ie, steatosis, lobular inflammation, and ballooning).
    1. Presence of fibrosis stage F2 or F3 according to the NASH CRN fibrosis staging system based on central pathologist evaluation.

Key Exclusion Criteria :

Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:

Medical Conditions

  1. Liver disease of other aetiologies (eg, alcoholic steatohepatitis; drug-induced, viral or autoimmune hepatitis; primary biliary cirrhosis; primary sclerosing cholangitis; hemochromatosis; alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency; Wilson's disease)
  2. History of cirrhosis and/or hepatic decompensation, including ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, or variceal bleeding.
  3. Historical persistent or pre-existing renal disease marked by eGFR < 40 mL/min/1.73 m2 (as defined by Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes guidelines).
  4. Confirmed platelet count outside the normal range at the screening visit.

  5. Any of the following confirmed at the screening visit:

    1. ALT > 5.0 × ULN
    2. TBL > 1.5 mg/dL (TBL > 1.5 mg/dL is allowed if conjugated bilirubin is < 1.5 × ULN)
    3. INR > 1.3
    4. ALP > 1.5 × ULN (unless the ALP elevation is not from hepatic origin as determined by a bone-specific ALP)
