Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary Endpoints 1.Change in liver fat content by non-invasively measuring CAP parameters through Fibroscan at week 8 16week 24 weeks 2.Change in hepatic fibrosis assessed by non-invasively measuring LSM parameters through Fibroscan at baseline ,week 8, 16 and 24 3.To assess the change in non-invasive scoring methods like NAFLD fibrosis score, FIB 4 Score, BARD Score and FAST Score at baseline, 16 and 24 weeks 4.Compare the overall treatment efficacy in patients with NAFLD/ NASH treated with Saroglitazar magnesium 4mg and OCA 10mg.Timepoint: 6months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary Endpoints 1.To assess the change in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) & aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level from baseline. 2.To assess the change in Lipid profile, the serum triglycerides (TG) level, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) from baseline. To assess the change in fasting plasma glucose (FPG)/glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c), from baselineTimepoint: 6 months
