Descrizione riassuntiva dello studio

NASH is a liver disease characterized by increased fat content and inflammation of the liver. NASH also increases the likelihood of heart disease. This medical research study is being conducted to find out if the investigational drug MGL-3196 (Resmetirom) can improve the treatment of NASH fibrosis and how safe it is for use in patients with NASH. This study includes 3 phases: - Pre-screening phase (up to 8 weeks) - Study medication phase (approximately 54 months) - Post-observation phase (approximately 4 weeks) The maximum duration for a patient’s participation in the study is approximately 57 months (4 3/4 years). Each patient has an equal chance (similar to drawing a straw) of receiving one of the following three treatments: 80 mg MGL-3196 or 100 mg MGL-3196 or placebo. Neither the patient nor the study doctor knows which of the three treatments the patient receives. Placebo-controlled means that the results of the study from patients taking MGL-3196 are compared with the results of the study from patients taking the placebo. A placebo looks the same as MGL-3196 but consists of an inactive substance, such as sugar. Upon the occurrence of certain important medical events that may indicate a deterioration in liver condition, there is a possibility for further treatment in an open treatment arm of the study, where the patient receives a starting dose of 80 mg MGL-3196. During the study, various assessments, tests, questionnaires, and/or procedures will be conducted at the study center. These will be performed at different times before, during, and after treatment with the investigational drug. Throughout the study period, a maximum of 30 visits to the study center will be required. Approximately 1700 patients will participate at approximately 200 study centers in North America, Europe, and Australia.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Must be willing to participate in the study and provide written informed consent.

2. Male and female adults = 18 years of age.

Meet one of the following criteria that is consistent with NASH liver fibrosis:

1. Historical biochemical test for fibrosis: PRO-C3 >14 ng/mL or ELF =9

2. FibroScan with transient elastography =8.5 kPa and controlled attenuation
parameter =280 dB.m-1

3. Historical liver biopsy obtained <2 years before expected randomization showing
