Significant liver fibrosis is defined by a score on the Ishak fibrosis scale of between 3 and
  • Patients in the compensated chronic liver disease phase defined by the absence of clinical decompensations at the time of entering the study, with or without data of portal hypertension.
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test prior to study enrollment and agree to use highly effective contraceptive methods (combined oral pill, injectable or implanted contraceptive, intrauterine device / hormone delivery system intrauterine) during the study.

排除标准

  • Patients receiving statins or fibrates.
  • Patients with other etiologies of liver disease in addition to alcohol: hepatitis C, hepatitis B, autoimmune hepatitis, Wilson's disease, or hemochromatosis.
  • Patients in whom hepatitis C has been cured with antivirals in the 2 years prior to inclusion in the study.
  • Patients with a CK elevation of 50% or more above the upper limit of normal at the time of study inclusion.

  • Patients with extrahepatic malignancies, including solid tumors and hematologic malignancies.
  • Patients with a history or increased risk of intestinal obstruction.
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  • Patients included in other clinical trials during the previous month.
  • Patients with mental disabilities, language barriers, poor social support or any other reason considered by the researcher as essential for adequate understanding, cooperation or compliance with the study.
