Brief summary

This is an exploratory study evaluating CS0159 in combination with Semaglutide in MASH patients with obesity and T2DM.

Detailed description

This is an exploratory study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of CS0159 in combination with Semaglutide in MASH patients with obesity and T2DM. A total of 60 patients will be recruited. BMI ≥35 kg/m2 will be used as a randomized stratification factor, and patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio.

Interventions

DRUGCS0159

The intervention will include a 2-week screening period, a 16-week treatment period, and a 4-week follow-up period. Efficacy and safety evaluations will be conducted after the end of the treatment. During the 16-week treatment period, subjects will receive 4mg CS0159 (oral, once daily) + 0.5mg Semaglutide (subcutaneous injection, once weekly).
