Study of Resmetirom in Children and Adolescents With MASH

What this study is about

This study will evaluate the safety, how the drug moves through the body (how the body absorbs, distributes, metabolizes, and eliminates the drug), and how the drug affects the body (how the drug affects the body) of resmetirom in children and adolescents with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and liver fibrosis.

View original scientific description

This study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (how the body absorbs, distributes, metabolizes, and eliminates the drug), and pharmacodynamics (how the drug affects the body) of resmetirom in children and adolescents with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and liver fibrosis. Participants will receive oral resmetirom once daily for approximately 14 days at one of several dose levels. The information from this study will help determine appropriate dosing and further evaluate the safety and biological effects of resmetirom in pediatric participants with MASH.

Interventions

DRUG

Resmetirom

Resmetirom (MGL-3196) : Oral resmetirom administered once daily. Participants receive one of several protocol-defined dose levels assigned according to the sequential multiple ascending-dose study design. Dose escalation proceeds following review of available safety, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic data.

Primary outcome measures

Safety and tolerability of multiple ascending doses of resmetirom

Time frame: Baseline through approximately Day 21 (or the protocol-defined safety follow-up period)

Safety and tolerability will be assessed by the incidence and severity of adverse events, serious adverse events, clinical laboratory evaluations, vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiograms, physical examinations, and other protocol-defined safety assessments.

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

  • Male or female participants 6 to 17 years of age, inclusive.
  • Parent(s) or legal guardian(s) able to provide written informed consent (as required by local regulations), with participant assent obtained as applicable.
  • Diagnose of MASH with fibrosis stage F1-F3 based on a liver biopsy obtained within 24 months before Screening.
  • Hepatic fat fraction ≥8% by magnetic resonance imaging-proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) obtained during the Screening period.
  • Able to swallow study tablets.
  • Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening, must not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception during the study and for at least 30 days after the last dose of study drug. Premenarchal participants and those not of childbearing potential are eligible without contraception.

Exclusion criteria

  • Previous exposure to resmetirom.
  • Clinically significant liver disease other than MASH or evidence of cirrhosis (F4), decompensated liver disease, or other hepatic conditions that may interfere with study participation or interpretation of results.
  • Clinically significant thyroid disease or use of thyroid replacement therapy, triiodothyronine, thyroxine, or other prohibited thyroid medications.
  • Use of prohibited concomitant medications, including medications known to affect hepatic steatosis or liver function, lipid-lowering therapies, CYP2C8 inhibitors, OATP1B1/OATP1B3/BCRP inhibitors, protease inhibitors, St. John's Wort, or other medications prohibited by the protocol.
  • Use of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists unless on a stable dose for at least 24 weeks before screening.
  • Clinically significant alcohol or substance abuse, or regular use of tobacco/nicotine products within 6 months before screening.
  • Active or clinically significant infection, including chronic hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection, HIV infection, or other immunocompromising conditions.
  • History or presence of clinically significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, gastrointestinal, neurologic, hematologic, endocrine, psychiatric, or other medical conditions that, in the opinion of the Investigator, could interfere with study participation or interpretation of study results.
  • History of malignancy within the past 5 years (except adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or other protocol-permitted exceptions).
  • History of organ transplantation or known immunocompromised status.
  • Participation in another investigational study within 60 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) before screening, unless permitted by the protocol.
  • Major surgery within 6 weeks before screening.
  • Known hypersensitivity to resmetirom or any excipient.
  • Females who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Any condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would compromise participant safety, compliance, or the integrity of the study.

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.
