What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial explores a new medicine, BI 3802876, for individuals with compensated cirrhosis due to Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH). The goal is to assess how well different doses of this medicine are tolerated and processed by the body and whether it can improve liver health. Participants receive either the medicine or a placebo (a non-active substance) through a vein infusion. This study is suitable for adults diagnosed with compensated MASH cirrhosis who have not experienced any severe liver issues in the past. As a Phase 2 trial, the research focuses on measuring the treatment's effectiveness in an initial, smaller group of people.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial team or your doctor.

Is there any evidence suggesting that BI 3802876 is likely to be safe for humans?

Research has shown that BI 3802876 has been tested in healthy individuals to assess its safety and tolerability. In these studies, researchers administered varying doses to observe the body's reactions. Most participants tolerated BI 3802876 well, experiencing no serious problems or side effects.

Although specific details from these studies are not provided here, the testing of BI 3802876 for liver cirrhosis suggests it demonstrated a good safety profile in earlier tests. This study aims to determine how well individuals with liver conditions tolerate the medication. Researchers will closely monitor participants for any health issues during treatment.12345

Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising for liver cirrhosis?

Researchers are excited about BI 3802876 for liver cirrhosis because it offers a novel approach compared to existing treatments like lifestyle changes, medications such as diuretics, and liver transplants. Unlike these current options, BI 3802876 is designed to target specific pathways involved in liver fibrosis, potentially slowing down or reversing liver damage. This targeted action could lead to more effective management of cirrhosis with fewer side effects, addressing an urgent need for patients with limited treatment choices.

What evidence suggests that BI 3802876 might be an effective treatment for liver cirrhosis?

Research shows that BI 3802876 is being developed to improve liver health in individuals with liver cirrhosis caused by Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH). Although limited data exists on its effectiveness in humans, this trial will test various dosages of BI 3802876 to assess its absorption and tolerance in the body. The goal is to determine if BI 3802876 can slow down or reverse liver damage in this condition. While solid proof of its effectiveness is not yet available, the drug's mechanism suggests potential benefits for liver health.12678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

Adults aged 18-75 with compensated liver cirrhosis due to MASH are eligible for this trial. They must have specific test results indicating advanced liver fibrosis or cirrhosis, and a biopsy confirming the condition within the last 5 years. Those in Child-Pugh category A without previous decompensation events can join.

Inclusion Criteria

My biopsy within the last 5 years shows cryptogenic cirrhosis.
My liver functions well despite my liver disease.
My tests show liver stiffness and possible cirrhosis.
