简要总结
To determine the efficacy of GS300 when administered for 24 weeks in patients with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD).
详细描述
This is a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, parallel-group study. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive either GS300 or placebo. The study includes an up to 6 weeks screening period, a 24-week treatment period, and a 1-week follow-up period.
Approximately 250 patients (125 patients per arm) will be enrolled (at least 40% from each gender and at least 40% from US and 40% from Europe).
