Description

This Phase 1b multicenter randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study evaluates the safety, tolerability and hepatic pharmacodynamic effects of resmetirom in adults with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Participants are randomized 2:1 to resmetirom or placebo for 24 weeks.

Interventions

  • Resmetirom (Drug)
    Resmetirom (80 mg or 100 mg orally once daily based on body weight)
  • Placebo (Drug)
    Matching placebo orally once daily

Suspected or confirmed diagnosis of fibrotic MASH suggested by the historical data and meets at least 1 criteria for fibrotic MASH 4. Confirmed diagnosis of HFpEF 5. Structural and/or functional heart disease based on echocardiographic evaluation. 6. eGFR ≥45 mL/min/1.73 m2 7. Female patients of reproductive potential are eligible if they have a negative serum pregnancy test (beta human chorionic gonadotropin), are not breastfeeding, and do not plan to become pregnant during the study and agree to use 1 highly effective birth control method during the study and for at least 30 days after study drug administration.

Active hyperthyroidism 2. Untreated clinical hypothyroidism defined by TSH \>7 IU/L with symptoms of hypothyroidism or \>10 IU/L without symptoms 4.

Hepatic decompensation or impairment. 10. Has an active autoimmune disease, including actively treated lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, or autoimmune hepatitis, requiring systemic treatment within the past 12 weeks or a documented history of clinically severe autoimmune disease, including autoimmune liver disease, or a syndrome that requires systemic steroids or immunosuppressive agents 11.

Uncontrolled hypertension (either treated or untreated) defined as systolic blood pressure \>170 mmHg or a diastolic blood pressure \>100 mmHg at Screening 15. Confirmed QTcF \>450 msec for males and \>470 msec for females at the Screening ECG assessment; 16. Presence of sustained atrial fibrillation at time of Screening or history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation episodes for the last 3 months prior to Screening
