Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Capable of giving signed informed consent prior to the performance of any study-specific procedures. * Able and willing to comply with all study assessments and adhere to the protocol schedule of activities. * In the opinion of the investigator, there is a history of alcohol consumption compatible with either ALD or Met ALD. * A female participant is eligible to participate after meeting additional pre-defined criteria. * Participants must meet predefined stable use requirements of concomitant medications based on study criteria. * Participant has advanced chronic liver disease
Exclusion criteria
* Meeting any definition of organ system failure as defined by the North American Consortium for Study of End-stage Liver Disease (NACSELD) * Exceeding pre-defined biochemical parameters for Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), Platelets, International normalised ratio (INR), Albumin, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), Urine albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) or Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c). Other primary causes of liver disease based on study criteria. * Current malignancy (except for basal cell carcinoma or uterine carcinoma-in-situ) at screening. Participants under evaluation for possible malignancy at screening are not eligible. * Prior organ transplant or current listing or active consideration for organ transplant during the screening period (except for corneal transplants). * Chronic or acute, including partial, known portal vein thrombosis. * Prior transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPSS) insertion. * Any acute cardiovascular event including myocardial infarction, unstable angina, symptomatic heart failure, or cerebrovascular accident in the 6 months prior to screening. * Poorly controlled hypertension * Clinical suspicion of rhabdomyolysis during the screening period * Clinical suspicion of a bleeding episode during the screening period related to portal hypertension and/or low blood fibrinogen level. * Body Mass Index (BMI) \>35 kg/m2 at screening * Any liver-related clinical event that started (onset) \<8 weeks prior to Baseline (D1).
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of participants with adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) | Up to 8 weeks | — |
| Number of participants with potentially clinically relevant changes in electrocardiogram (ECG), vital signs, and clinical laboratory tests | Up to 8 weeks | — |
| Change from baseline in Liver Stiffness measurement (LSM) reduction using FibroScan® at Week 52 (kiloPascal) | Baseline (Day 1) and up to Week 52 | Liver stiffness will be measured by vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) using the FibroScan® device. |
| Change from baseline in model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score reduction at Week 52 | Baseline (Day 1) and up to Week 52 | MELD is a scoring system for assessing the severity of chronic liver disease. MELD scores range between 6 and 40, with 40 being the most severe. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of GSK4532990 | Up to Day 4 | — |
| Area Under the Curve from Time 0 to t [AUC (0-t)] of GSK4532990 | Up to Day 4 | — |
| Area Under the Curve from Time 0 to 24 hours [AUC (0-24)] of GSK4532990 | Up to 24 hours | — |
| Plasma half-life (t1/2) of GSK4532990 | Up to Day 4 | — |
| Apparent clearance (CL/F) of GSK4532990 | Up to Day 4 | — |
| Time to maximum concentration (tmax) of GSK4532990 | Up to Day 4 | — |
| Apparent terminal phase volume of distribution (Vz/F) of GSK4532990 | Up to Day 4 | — |
| Change from baseline in serum AST at Week 52 | Baseline (Day 1), and at Week 52 | — |
| Change from baseline in Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF™) score at Week 52 | Baseline (Day 1), and at Week 52 | The ELF™ score will be calculated using a published algorithm combining the values of a set of extracellular matrix markers, including tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1), type III procollagen (PIIINP), and hyaluronic acid (HA). The ELF™ score is used as a prognostic marker for disease progression. ELF™ score will range between 4.5 to 14.7. A higher ELF™ score will predict worse prognosis |
| Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero (pre-dose) to the last quantifiable concentration (AUC0-t) of GSK4532990 | Up to Day 3 | — |
| Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of GSK4532990 | Up to Day 3 | — |
