Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug to see if it's safe and effective when taken by injection over 12 weeks.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for obese adults aged 18-75 with a BMI of 30-45 who are at risk for or have NASH, as indicated by specific liver stiffness and injury markers. Candidates must not have cirrhosis, extremely high triglycerides, type 1 diabetes, significant recent weight changes, or an HbA1c >9.5%.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests BOS-580's safety in treating NASH over two periods: one group receives the drug subcutaneously for either 12 weeks (Part A) or 24 weeks (Part B), while another group gets a placebo to compare effects.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of BOS-580 aren't detailed here but typically include reactions at the injection site, gastrointestinal issues, fatigue, and possible allergic responses. The exact side effects will be monitored throughout the trial.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Does BOS-580 carry any risks for human patients?

"BOS-580 is still in Phase 2 of clinical trials, so there is not yet data supporting its efficacy. There is, however, some evidence that it is safe for human use which gives it a score of 2."

Answered by AI

What are the main goals of this clinical trial?

"The primary objective of this study, which will be assessed at Week 12 (Day 85), is the number of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and treatment-emergent serious adverse events (TESAEs). Additionally, this trial will also measure secondary outcomes including average serum drug concentration (Cavg) for BOS-580, maximum serum drug concentration (Cmax) for BOS-580, and time to reach maximum serum concentration (Tmax) for BOS-580."

Where is this research being conducted?

"Presently, this study is being conducted at 6 different sites. The Miami and Fort Myers locations in the USA are closest to South Ogden. To cut down on travel, it would be best to select a clinic near you if you plan on enrolling."
