Brief summary

This study will assess the efficacy and safety of 3 doses of PXL770 versus placebo after 12 weeks of treatment.

Detailed description

The study will be performed in patients with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. The primary endpoint will be the assessment of the change in the percentage of liver fat mass (assessed by MRI-PDFF).

Recruitment details

Patients were screened for the study at 15 sites in the United States between 29Mar19 and 13Mar20.

Pre-assignment details

Following a Screening period of maximum 2 weeks, eligible participants entered in a single-blind placebo Run-in period of 4 weeks. This Run-in period was set to reduce any bias regarding placebo effect, to assess patient compliance, and to minimize the possible confounding influence of dietary and activity changes. Only participants who have met all the applicable Inclusion criteria and none of the Exclusion criteria at the end the Run-in period were to be randomized.
