Brief Summary

This study is a Phase 1, first-in-human single-dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of OA-235i in subjects with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of a single ascending dose (SAD) in participants with suspected or confirmed diagnosis of noncirrhotic nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) without advanced hepatic fibrosis. This dose-escalating strategy will test the safety of OA-235i when given as a single subcutaneous dosage using up to five successive cohorts. Each cohort will have three non-randomized participants receiving the active medication. One (1) planned multiple dose (MD) expansion dose cohort with 8 NAFLD/NASH subjects will be enrolled for a 7-day dosing regimen at a dose level to be determined from the SAD portion of the study.

Inclusion Criteria
  1. Male and female subjects between the ages of 18 and 70 years, inclusive, at Screening.

  2. Body mass index (BMI) of ≥25 and <40 kg/m2 with a total body weight 50-150 kg (inclusive) at Screening and Day 1 Pre-dose.

  3. Suspected or confirmed diagnosis of noncirrhotic NAFLD/NASH without advanced hepatic fibrosis by one of the following:

    1. Histologically with liver biopsy within 2 years prior to Screening (documentation with pathology report); or
    2. Radiologically with ≥5% steatosis measured by magnetic resonance imaging-derived proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF), or controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) >288 dB/m via FibroScan assessment, or presence of hepatic steatosis on abdominal ultrasound within 1 year prior to Screening; or
    3. Clinically with a diagnosis of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) reflecting the presence of at least 3 of 5 factors/criteria (ie, abdominal obesity, elevated triglycerides, reduced HDL-C, elevated blood pressure, and/or elevated fasting glucose [IFG or type 2 diabetes mellitus]) as defined by the National Cholesterol Education Program's Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) [Grundy 2005]; and fatty liver on imaging within 1 year prior to Screening.

Key

Exclusion Criteria
  1. History or presence of cirrhosis as assessed by Investigator following review of diagnostic measures (clinical, imaging, histopathology, or laboratory).
  2. Clinical evidence of hepatic decompensation (laboratory or clinical abnormalities- ascites, variceal bleeding, etc.).
  3. History or presence of other concomitant liver disease (eg, hepatitis B & C, alcoholic liver disease, autoimmune liver disease, primary biliary cirrhosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, hemochromatosis, Wilson's disease, alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) deficiency, bile duct obstruction, liver primary or metastatic cancer, drug-induced liver disease.
