Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis | Drug: EYP001a Other: Placebo | Phase 2 |
This is a 2-part, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of EYP001 in patients with NASH who likely have stage F2 to F3 fibrosis at approximately 50 global clinical sites. Overall, approximately 114 eligible patients will be enrolled: 24 patients in Part A (Safety Run-in Cohort), followed by 90 patients in Part B.
In Part A, 24 patients will be randomized on Day 1 to 1 of 4 parallel treatment groups: 100 mg EYP001a twice daily (BID), 200 mg EYP001a once daily (QD), 400 mg EYP001a QD, or placebo BID. In Part B, 90 patients will be randomized on Day 1 to 1 of 3 parallel treatment groups: 100 mg EYP001a QD, 200 mg EYP001a QD, or placebo QD.
