Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18 to 70 with alcohol-related liver disease and advanced chronic liver disease who can consent, meet lab and medication stability requirements, and pass pre-specified inclusion criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
People who meet definitions of organ system failure, who exceed predefined abnormal laboratory thresholds, or who fall outside the age or other eligibility limits are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This is a Phase 2, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of GSK4532990 in adults aged 18 to 70 with alcohol-related liver disease and advanced chronic liver disease. Participants will receive either GSK4532990 or placebo and be followed for safety and clinical and biochemical measures of liver health. Key eligibility includes a history of alcohol consumption consistent with alcohol-related liver disease, stability on concomitant medications, and meeting predefined laboratory criteria; participants with organ system failure per NACSELD are excluded. The trial is being conducted at GSK investigational sites in Arizona with outcomes focused on tolerability and signals of benefit on liver-related endpoints.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, GSK4532990 could slow or improve liver injury and symptoms in people with alcohol-related liver disease.
How similar studies have gone: Previous drugs targeting inflammation or fibrosis in alcohol-related liver disease and steatohepatitis have shown mixed results, so this approach builds on prior work but is not yet established as a breakthrough.
