Summary

This trial tests AXA1125, a mix of amino acids taken orally, to see if it can reduce liver fat, inflammation, and scarring in people with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Participants will take the treatment for several months, with liver biopsies at the start and end to measure changes. AXA1125 demonstrated multitargeted activity on relevant NAFLD pathways in a previous study.
