Study Summary

This trial is testing if the drug lanifibranor is safe and effective in treating type 2 diabetes and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. The primary goal is to see if the drug decreases intrahepatic triglycerides.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 21-75 with type 2 diabetes and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Participants must have uncontrolled diabetes, stable medication use for two months prior, and no recent other drug trials. Pregnant women or those not using effective contraception are excluded, as well as individuals with certain medical conditions or high body mass index.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests lanifibranor's safety and effectiveness in reducing liver fat (IHTG), improving insulin sensitivity, glucose production control, HbA1c levels, lipid profiles, and potential impact on liver fibrosis. Patients will be compared to a placebo group to measure these outcomes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of lanifibranor may include muscle issues due to its mechanism affecting various enzymes involved in metabolism. Other risks could involve changes in blood sugar levels or liver-related symptoms but specific side effects will be monitored throughout the study.
