Overview
Brief Summary
This phase 2, double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study is to assess the safety and efficacy of miricorilant (CORT118335) in patients with presumed Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH).
Detailed Description
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that assessed the safety efficacy and pharmacokinetics (PK) of miricorilant in patients with presumed Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH). Patients who meet the criteria for Study CORT118335-860 were randomized on Day 1 to receive 900 mg miricorilant, 600 mg miricorilant, or placebo for 12 weeks. Due to observations related to safety, the study was terminated prior to completion and study objectives, endpoints, and procedures were modified as specified in the protocol.

Arms & Interventions
Miricorilant- 900 mg
Participants received 900 mg miricorilant (6 miricorilant tablets of 150 mg) orally once daily.
Intervention: Miricorilant
Miricorilant- 600 mg
Participants received 600 mg miricorilant (4 miricorilant tablets of 150 mg and 2 placebo tablets) orally once daily.
Intervention: Miricorilant
Miricorilant- 600 mg
Participants received 600 mg miricorilant (4 miricorilant tablets of 150 mg and 2 placebo tablets) orally once daily.
Intervention: Placebo
Placebo
Participants received 6 placebo tablets orally once daily.
Intervention: Placebo
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Relative Change From Baseline in Liver Fat Content Assessed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Proton Density Fat Fraction
Time Frame: Baseline and up to ~Day 95
The change from baseline in liver fat content (LFC) by magnetic resonance imaging-proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) for each miricorilant dose level (600 mg, 900 mg) versus placebo was assessed. MRI-PDFF was performed to determine the degree of LFC reduction. The relative change is defined for each participant as %: (\[Post-Baseline LFC-Baseline LFC\]/Baseline LFC) × 100. Due to observations related to safety, the study was terminated. If the participant had at least 6 weeks of treatment, the assessment was completed at the early termination visit. Due to the small sample size, no formal tests were performed to assess statistical differences between treatment groups.
Secondary Outcomes
- Number of Participants Achieving a Relative Reduction From Baseline in LFC of ≥30% by MRI-PDFF(Baseline and up to ~Day 95)
- Change From Baseline in Aspartate Aminotransferase(Baseline and Week 6)
- Change From Baseline in Alanine Aminotransferase(Baseline and Week 6)
- Change From Baseline in Gamma-glutamyl Transferase(Baseline and Week 6)
- Change From Baseline in Propeptide of Type III Collagen(Baseline and Week 6)
- Change From Baseline in Enhanced Liver Fibrosis Score(Baseline and Week 6)
