结局指标
主要结局
Change in NASH as measured by improvement in NAS score Improvement in NAS score (≥ 2 points) with no worsening in fibrosis stage (≥1 point) OR improvement in fibrosis with no worsening of NASH (change in the NAS score of ≤ 0 points).
时间窗: Baseline, 96 weeks
One overall score of NASH improvement will be derived from improvement in NAS score OR no worsening in fibrosis.
次要结局
- NASH resolution as measured by (diagnosis by pathologist) (from definite- to not- NASH).....(Baseline, 96 weeks)
- Change in fibrosis stage as measured by change in stage(Baseline, 96 weeks)
- Change in each component of NASH histologic features as measured by presence or ab presence or absence of features or their severity.(Baseline, 96 weeks)
- Change in serum aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels as measured by plasma concentrations(Baseline, 96 weeks)
- Change in makers of hepatic fibrosis markers as measured by (FIB-4,51 liver stiffness by Fibroscan®)(Baseline, 96 weeks)
- Change in capture attention parameter (CAP) score (with Fibroscan®)(Baseline, 96 weeks)
- Serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) as measured by serum concentration(Baseline, 96 weeks)
- Change in serum lipids as measured by serum concentration(Baseline, 96 weeks)
