6-week Safety and PD Study in Adults With NAFLD

The percent change from baseline in whole liver fat at Week 6 was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF).

MRI-PDFF generates measures of the fraction of mobile protons in the liver attributable to fat content and provides whole liver coverage so that fat content can be assessed across 8 Couinaud liver segments. Whole liver PDFF was calculated as follows:

Whole Liver PDFF= PDFFs for (Segment I+Segment II+Segment III+Segment IVa+Segment IVb+Segment V+Segment VI+Segment+VII+Segment VIII) / (number of segments assessed).

The same segments were to be used at both baseline and post-baseline time points in the calculation of whole liver PDFF to derive the percent change from baseline.

The values of whole liver PDFF ranges from 0 to 100 and higher values represent higher liver fat.

All-causality adverse events (AEs) were any untoward medical occurrence in a study participant who administered a product or medical device, the event need not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment or usage. Treatment-related AEs were any untoward medical occurrence in a study participant who administered a product or medical device, the event needed to have a causal relationship with the treatment or usage.

A TEAE was defined as any event not present prior to the initiation of the treatments or any event already present that worsens in either intensity or frequency following exposure to the treatments.
