Brief summary

This is a multicenter, phase 2A, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Saroglitazar Magnesium in women with well characterized PCOS.

Detailed description

This is a multicenter, phase 2A, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Saroglitazar Magnesium in women with well characterized PCOS. The study will be conducted over a period of up to 34 weeks and will include Screening (Days -28 to -7) Phase, a 24-week Treatment Phase following randomization on Day 1. The primary endpoint of the study is change in hepatic fat content from baseline following 24 weeks of treatment as measured by MRI-PDFF.

Interventions

DRUGSaroglitazar Magnesium 4 mg Tablet

Patients randomly assigned to this group will receive Saroglitazar Magnesium orally once daily for 24 weeks.

DRUGPlacebo

Patients randomly assigned to this group will receive Placebo tablet orally once daily for 24 weeks.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Hepatic Fat ContentBaseline and Week 24Change in hepatic fat content from baseline following 24 weeks of treatment as measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging-derived Proton Density-fat Fraction (MRI-PDFF)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Liver Enzymes/Liver Function TestsBaseline, Week 12, and Week 24Changes from baseline to week 12 and week 24 in Alkaline phosphatase
Insulin ResistanceBaseline, Week 12, and Week 24Evaluation of HOMA of Insulin Resistance Index determines insulin resistance and estimates insulin sensitivity, calculated by fasting insulin (μU/mL) multiplied by fasting glucose (mg/dL), and divided by a constant (405). A higher score indicates higher insulin resistance
Liver InjuryBaseline and Week 24Changes from baseline to week 24 in Liver Injury, including Cytokeratin (CK)-18. CK18 \[M30\] and CK-18 \[M-65\] were measured as biomarkers of hepatocyte apoptosis. Both are important indicators for liver tissue conditions and effectively reflect hepatocyte damage. A negative change from baseline indicates a decrease in hepatocyte apoptosis or a decrease in hepatocyte damage.
Liver StiffnessBaseline and Week 24Changes from baseline to week 24 in liver stiffness measured by transient elastography/FibroScan
Controlled Attenuation ParameterBaseline and Week 24Changes from baseline to week 24 in controlled attenuation parameter measured by transient elastography/ FibroScan
Body Mass Index (BMI)Baseline, Week 12, and Week 24Changes from baseline to week 12 and week 24 in Body mass index
Waist CircumferenceBaseline, Week 12, and Week 24Changes from baseline to week 12 and week 24 in waist circumference
Changes From Baseline to Week 24 in MRI-derived Measures of Total Liver Fat IndexBaseline and Week 24MRI-derived measures of total liver fat index. Total liver volume: The total liver volume was calculated through a process requiring segmentation image analysis. Liver volume was calculated after complete segmentation by summing the liver surface area at each segmented slice and then multiplying this sum by individual slice thickness, in milliliters (mL). Total liver fat index: The total liver fat index (TLFI, units: % mL) took into consideration the volume of liver from which proton-density fat fraction was derived. It was calculated as the product of liver volume and the liver mean proton-density fat fraction across all liver segments.

Changes From Baseline to Week 12 and Week 24 in Free Androgen IndexBaseline, Week 12, and Week 24Free androgen index is a ratio used to determine abnormal androgen status in humans, measured by Total testosterone level divided by the sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) level, and then multiplying by a constant, usually 100. A higher score indicates a worse outcome (more androgenic).

The value has been multiplied by 100, hence has been expressed in percentage unit; where Cmax is the Maximum measured plasma concentration at steady state, Cmin is Minimal or trough plasma concentration at steady state, and Cavg is Average concentration = AUCtau,ss /tau.

Time frame: PK sampling timepoints: pre-dose (0.0), 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, and 24 hours post-dose of Last dose (visit 8)
