Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with biopsy-confirmed or clinically suspected MASH with NAS ≥4 and fibrosis stage F2–F3.

Probably not a fit

People without MASH or those with non-eligible fibrosis stages or contraindications may not benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional trial explores whether ALN-CIDEB can improve liver health in adults with fibrotic metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Participants are randomized to receive ALN-CIDEB or placebo, with liver fat, injury markers, and fibrosis monitored over time. Researchers will assess safety and how the drug affects liver biology and function to understand variability among patients. The study includes biomarker and imaging assessments along with a per-protocol liver biopsy history to confirm NAS and fibrosis stages. Enrollment requires documented MASH with NAS ≥4 and fibrosis stage F2 or F3, plus FAST score criteria.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience reductions in liver fat and improvements in liver injury and scarring.

How similar studies have gone: Prior studies in similar CF-like regimens have shown potential signals, but results in MASH are still being explored and outcomes remain variable.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

1. A diagnosis of MASH documented in the participant's medical history, or a clinical suspicion of MASH based on non-invasive biomarkers and clinical risk factors, including having a history of 1 or more elements of metabolic syndrome as described in the protocol
2. Screening percutaneous liver biopsy demonstrating a NAFLD Activity Score (NAS) ≥4 and fibrosis stage F2 or F3 as described in the protocol
3. Has a FibroScan Aspartate aminotransferase (FAST) score \>0.35 either at Screening Visit 1 or within approximately 3 months of Screening Visit 1 as described in the protocol

Key Exclusion Criteria:

1. Known chronic liver disease other than Metabolic dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), as determined by the investigator as described in the protocol
2. Prior or current suspected or known drug-induced liver injury within approximately 1 year prior to Screening Visit 1
3. History of liver transplantation, current placement on a liver transplant list, or MELD score \>12
4. Known history of alcohol or other substance abuse within the last year or at any time during screening based on investigator's discretion
5. Prior, current, or planned future use of a Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist-based therapy or any medication approved for the treatment of MASH unless used at a generally stable dose and regimen since at least 3 months prior to Screening Visit 1 or the qualifying historical liver biopsy and use is continued throughout the screening period with no change to the dose or regimen anticipated during the treatment period as described in the protocol
