Study to Evaluate Resmetirom in Post-Liver Transplant Patients With MASH

What this study is about

A Phase 2 where neither patients nor doctors know which treatment is given, randomly assigned, compared against an inactive treatment study to evaluate resmetirom in 2 cohorts of subjects with moderate to advanced fibrosis, consistent with stage F2 and F3 fibrosis, who have undergone liver transplant.

View original scientific description

A Phase 2 double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate resmetirom in 2 cohorts of subjects with moderate to advanced fibrosis, consistent with stage F2 and F3 fibrosis, who have undergone liver transplant. Cohort 1 will consist of patients who have undergone liver transplant for MASH cirrhosis who developed recurrent MASH. Cohort 2 will consist of subjects who have undergone liver transplant for indications other than MASH cirrhosis who developed de novo MASH.

Who can participate

This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.

Inclusion criteria

  • At least 12 months post-liver transplant at screening and meeting one of the following:
  • Cohort 1: Liver transplant for MASH cirrhosis with recurrent hepatic steatosis ≥8% by MRI-PDFF
  • Cohort 2: Liver transplant for non-MASH etiology with de novo hepatic steatosis ≥8% by MRI-PDFF
  • Presence of at least one metabolic risk factor, including overweight/obesity, dysglycemia or type 2 diabetes, hypertension or antihypertensive treatment, hypertriglyceridemia or low HDL cholesterol, or lipid-lowering therapy.
  • MASH with moderate to advanced liver fibrosis (F2-F3), confirmed by noninvasive fibrosis assessment (FibroScan and/or MRE) and a liver biopsy consistent with Stage F2/F3 MASH and no evidence of other liver pathology or graft rejection.
  • Stable renal function with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m² prior to and during screening.
  • Stable liver enzymes at screening, without clinically significant worsening compared with recent historical values.
  • Stable immunosuppressive regimen for at least 3 months prior to screening.
  • Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test, not be breastfeeding, and agree to use effective contraception during the study and for at least 30 days after the last dose; females not of childbearing potential are eligible.

Exclusion criteria

  • Participation in another interventional clinical trial with investigational drug exposure within 30 days (or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer) prior to screening.
  • Phosphatidylethanol (PEth) value of ≥20 ng/mL measured at screening or clinically significant alcohol use within 1 year prior to screening.
  • FibroScan VCTE \>20 kPa, a baseline biopsy demonstrating fibrosis consistent with F4, or MRE \> 5 kPa.
  • Uncontrolled or clinically significant thyroid disease, including active hyperthyroidism or untreated hypothyroidism.
  • Evidence of active liver disease other than MASH.
  • History of liver transplantation for an inborn error of metabolism.
  • Evidence of hepatic impairment or decompensation at screening.
  • Steroid resistant rejection of the transplanted liver or kidney, or a history of a rejection treated with high dose steroid within 3 months of screening.
  • Chronic rejection or chronic plasma-cell hepatitis.
  • Significant post-transplant vascular or biliary complications.
  • Significant cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease within 6 months prior to randomization.
  • Uncontrolled hypertension at screening or randomization.
  • Current hepatocellular carcinoma.
  • Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or other clinically significant immunocompromised state.
  • Any serious medical condition with a life expectancy of less than 5 years.
  • Current substance abuse or drug addiction.
  • Significant psychiatric, cognitive, or social conditions that would interfere with study participation or compliance, in the Investigator's judgment.
  • Known hypersensitivity to study drug or any of its excipients.
  • Use of prohibited concomitant medications that may affect liver function, steatosis, thyroid function, or study outcomes, or unstable doses of allowed metabolic therapies prior to randomization.
  • Use of statins above protocol-allowed doses or unstable lipid-lowering therapy prior to randomization.
  • Contraindications to MRI, including implanted devices incompatible with MRI, severe claustrophobia, or inability to undergo MRI procedures.

Frequently asked questions

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
