Conditions

Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes

Brief summary

This is an exploratory study evaluating CS0159 in combination with Semaglutide in metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2DM).

Detailed description

This is an exploratory study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of CS0159 in combination with Semaglutide in MAFLD patients with obesity and T2DM. Approximately 30 patients were randomly assigned to two groups in a 1:1 ratio for treatment for 12 weeks.

Interventions

DRUGCS0159

The intervention will include a 12-week treatment period. During the 12-week treatment period, subjects will receive 4mg CS0159 (oral, once daily).

The intervention will include a 12-week treatment period. During the 12-week treatment period, subjects will receive CS0159 placebo (oral, once daily).

DRUGSemaglutide

The intervention will include a 12-week treatment period. During the 12-week treatment period, subjects will receive 0.5mg Semaglutide (subcutaneous injection, once weekly).
