HTD1801 in Adults With Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis and Liver Fibrosis Who Have Type 2 Diabetes or Pre-Diabetes

Phase 2
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH)
Type 2 Diabetes
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT05623189
Lead Sponsor
HighTide Biopharma Pty Ltd
Brief Summary

A phase 2b, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of HTD1801 in adult subjects with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and liver fibrosis who have type 2 diabetes mellitus or pre-diabetes.

Detailed Description

This phase 2b, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter study will evaluate the effect of HTD1801, 1250 mg twice daily (BID) compared to placebo BID on histologic improvements in adult subjects with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and liver fibrosis who have type 2 diabetes mellitus or pre-diabetes.

The study will enroll approximately 210 subjects with biopsy-confirmed non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and evidence of stage 2 or stage 3 liver fibrosis. Subjects will receive investigational product for up to 60 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Primary EndpointUp to 60 Weeks

A decrease of ≥2-points in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease activity score (NAS) with ≥1-point decrease of either lobular inflammation or ballooning and no worsening of fibrosis; OR Resolution of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) (defined as the overall histopathologic interpretation of 1) "no fatty liver disease" or 2) "fatty liver disease (simple or isolated steatosis) without steatohepatitis AND a non-alcoholic fatty liver disease activity score (NAS) of 0 for ballooning and 0-1 for inflammation and no worsening of fibrosis.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease activity score (NAS) is a histological scoring system that assesses a liver biopsy and gives scores for steatosis (0-3), lobular inflammation (0-3), and hepatocyte ballooning (0-2). The higher the score the more severe the disease. The total range for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease activity score (NAS) is between 0 to 8. The lower the score the better the outcome.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Endpoint 5Up to 60 Weeks

Percentage of subjects with a ≥2-stage improvement in liver fibrosis.

Endpoint 6Up to 60 Weeks

Percentage of subjects with a ≥2-point improvement in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease activity score (NAS) and no worsening of liver fibrosis.

Endpoint 1Up to 60 Weeks

Percentage of subjects with resolution of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) on overall histopathological reading

Endpoint 2Up to 60 Weeks

Percentage of subjects with resolution of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis hepatitis (NASH) and at least a 2-point improvement in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) activity score (NAS) and no worsening of liver fibrosis

Endpoint 4Up to 60 Weeks

Percentage of subjects with a ≥1-stage improvement in liver fibrosis and no worsening of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

Endpoint 3Up to 60 Weeks

Percentage of subjects with a ≥1-stage improvement in liver fibrosis.

Endpoint 7Up to 60 Weeks

Percentage of subjects with an improvement in each of the individual non-alcoholic fatty liver disease activity score (NAS) components (ballooning, inflammation, or steatosis).

Endpoint 8Up to 60 Weeks

Percentage of subjects with improvement of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) based on overall histopathologic interpretation.

Endpoint 9Up to 60 Weeks

Absolute and percent change in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) from baseline to end of treatment.

Endpoint 10Up to 60 Weeks.

Absolute and percent change in aspartate aminotransferase (AST) from baseline to end of treatment.

Endpoint 11Up to 60 Weeks

Absolute and percent change in gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) from baseline to end of treatment.

Endpoint 12Up to 60 Weeks

Absolute and percent change in total bilirubin from baseline to end of treatment.

Endpoint 13Up to 60 Weeks

Absolute and percent change in direct bilirubin from baseline to end of treatment.

Endpoint 14Up to 60 Weeks

Absolute and percent change in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) from baseline to end of treatment.

Endpoint 15Up to 60 Weeks

Absolute and percent change in fasting plasma glucose from baseline to end of treatment.

Endpoint 16Up to 60 Weeks

Absolute and percent change in body weight from baseline to end of treatment.

Endpoint 17Up to 60 Weeks

Absolute and percent change in body mass index (BMI) from baseline to end of treatment.

Endpoint 18Up to 60 Weeks

Absolute and percent change in hip circumference from baseline to end of treatment.

Endpoint 19Up to 60 Weeks

Absolute and percent change in waist circumference from baseline to end of treatment.

Endpoint 20Up to 60 Weeks

Absolute and percent change in total cholesterol from baseline to end of treatment.

Endpoint 21Up to 60 Weeks

Absolute and percent change in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) from baseline to end of treatment.

Endpoint 22Up to 60 Weeks

Absolute and percent change in lipoprotein A (Lpa) from baseline to end of treatment.

Endpoint 23Up to 60 Weeks

Absolute and percent change in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) from baseline to end of treatment.

Endpoint 24Up to 60 Weeks

Absolute and percent change in triglycerides from baseline to end of treatment.

Endpoint 25Up to 60 Weeks

Absolute and percent change in apolipoprotein B (ApoB) from baseline to end of treatment.

Endpoint 26Up to 60 Weeks

Absolute and percent change in liver stiffness as measured by vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) using FibroScan® device from baseline to end of treatment.

The VCTE score is measured in Kilopascal Pressure Unit (kPa) and ranges from 2 to 75 kPa. The higher the kPa score the more severe the liver stiffness.

Endpoint 27Up to 60 Weeks

Absolute and percent change in liver fat content as measured by controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) using FibroScan® device from baseline to end of treatment.

The controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) score is measured in decibels per meter (dB/m) it ranges from 100 to 400 dB/m. The higher the controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) score the more severe the steatosis.

Endpoint 28Up to 60 Weeks

Absolute and percent change in the FibroScan-AST (FAST) score from baseline to end of treatment.

Fast score will be calculated based on LSM, CAP and AST values using FAST equation. An equal to or more than 0.35 value thru equal or less than 0.81 value is positive predictive value for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and a negative predictive value from 0.73 to 1.0.
