Brief summary

Abdominal obesity and type-2 Diabetes are associated with chronic liver disorders resulting from the accumulation of fat in the liver (steatosis), which may progress towards hepatitis and possibly lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer. NAFLD (Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) is considered as the most common form of chronic liver disease in adults in the United States, Australia, Asia and Europe. In the USA, the estimated prevalence of NAFLD is 20-30% of the adult population. Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) is a progressing form of NAFLD, which corresponds to hepatic steatosis associated with inflammation and liver cell injury upon microscopic examination of a liver biopsy. This condition may lead to advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis and deserves serious medical management. Up to now, there is no effective drug which has clearly demonstrated therapeutic efficacy which may help lifestyle and dietary recommendations in the resolution of NASH. In this context, GENFIT is developing a new liver targeted drug candidate, GFT505, for the treatment of NASH and the reduction of multiple cardiometabolic risk factors associated with the metabolic syndrome and type 2 Diabetes. This phase IIb study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of GFT505 80mg and 120mg once daily for 52 weeks on the reversal of NASH without worsening of fibrosis, based on liver biopsy assessments.

Detailed description

The study duration per patient will be 80 weeks. A screening period (from 4 to 16 weeks) will precede a 52-week double-blind treatment period and a 3 months follow-up period. The study will be conducted in 270 patients (90 patients in the placebo arm, 90 patients in the GFT505 80mg arm, and 90 patients in the GFT505 120mg arm). Enrollment will be performed in two phases: during the first phase, the patients will receive either GFT505 at a dose of 80 mg either the placebo. An independent expert committee will review the safety data when 45 patients receiving the dose at 80 mg will have been treated for 6 months. The committee approval will be necessary to start the second phase, while the patients will receive either GFT505 at a dose of 80 mg, or GFT505 at a dose of 120 mg or the placebo.

The NAS refers to the severity of ongoing liver injury as assessed by a liver biopsy and is used to assess the activity of the disease. It is based on the NASH CRN methodology for scoring the severity of steatosis (score of 0 to 3), inflammation (score of 0 to 3), and hepatocellular ballooning (score of 0 to 2), with a maximum score of 8. A total NAS score of five or greater correlates with the diagnosis of steatohepatitis. In table below for raw Mild (Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Activity Score 3) and the column GFT505 80mg the result should be read as : 2 participants (out of 10 participants analysed with a baseline NAS at 3) had at Least 2 points decrease on their NAS after 52 weeks of daily administration of GFT505 80mg. It corresponds to 20% (2 out of 10).

Recruitment details

Recruitment for the GFT505-212-7 study began in September 2012. This was a phase IIb, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study conducted in three parallel groups: placebo, GFT505 80mg and GFT505 120mg (after DSMB review of 6 month safety data of the 80mg dose on at least 50% of participants) once daily for 52 weeks.

Pre-assignment details

Random allocation was done in two phases. In the first study phase, participants were randomly allocated to GFT505 80 mg or placebo (ratio 2:1). In the second study phase (after Data and Safety Monitoring Board review of 6-month safety data of the 80-mg dose on at least 50% of participants), participants were assigned to GFT505 120 mg or placebo (ratio 2:1) in order to balance the 3 treatments in a 1:1:1 ratio basis.

Outcome results

Primary

Percentage of Responders With Disappearance of Steatohepatitis Without Worsening of Fibrosis (ie, Participants no Longer Meeting the Criteria for Steatohepatitis)

Percentage of responders from baseline to Week 52 defined by the disappearance of steatohepatitis (ie, participants no longer meeting the criteria for steatohepatitis) without worsening of fibrosis. Worsening of fibrosis was evaluated using Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Clinical Research Network (NASH CRN) fibrosis staging system and defined as: * Progression to stage 3 or 4 for participants at stage 0, 1 or 2 on diagnostic liver biopsy * Progression to stage 4 for participants at stage 3 on diagnostic liver biopsy

Time frame: Baseline (Visit 2; Week 0) to Visit 8 (Week 52)

Population: Analysis was done of the efficacy evaluable sample, (Efficacy Evaluable Set) formed by participants with liver biopsy available at end-of-treatment and considered as the Intent to Treat population in the protocol. Robustness analysis was also performed in the Full Analysis Set, formed by all randomized participants that received at least one dose of study drug.

Number of Participants With Change From Baseline to Week 52 in Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Activity Score of at Least 2 Points

To evaluate the number of participants with at least a 2 point decrease from baseline in Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Activity Score (NAS) after 52 weeks of daily administration of GFT505 80mg or 120mg. The NAS refers to the severity of ongoing liver injury as assessed by a liver biopsy and is used to assess the activity of the disease. It is based on the NASH CRN methodology for scoring the severity of steatosis (score of 0 to 3), inflammation (score of 0 to 3), and hepatocellular ballooning (score of 0 to 2), with a maximum score of 8. A total NAS score of five or greater correlates with the diagnosis of steatohepatitis. In table below for raw Mild (Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Activity Score 3) and the column GFT505 80mg the result should be read as : 2 participants (out of 10 participants analysed with a baseline NAS at 3) had at Least 2 points decrease on their NAS after 52 weeks of daily administration of GFT505 80mg. It corresponds to 20% (2 out of 10).
