Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Change From Baseline in Percentage of Fat in the Liver as Assessed Using MRI at Week 24 | From baseline to week 24 | Patients were to undergo MRI three times during the course of the study to assess liver fat. Baseline is defined as the value collected at Week -2 MRI assessment (approximately between Day -7 to -14). |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline in Percentage of Fat in the Liver as Assessed Using MRI at Week 12 | From baseline to week 12 | Patients were to undergo MRI three times during the course of the study to assess liver fat. Baseline is defined as the value collected at Week -2 MRI assessment (approximately between Day -7 to -14). |
| Secondary | Percentage of Responders at Week 12 | At week 12 | The response criteria are defined as: a. A reduction of ≥ 30% from baseline in liver fat b. A reduction of ≥ 50% from baseline in liver fat c. Liver fat content \< 10% d. Liver fat content \< 5.6%. Percentage is calculated as (m/n)\*100 where m: number of patients who are responders. n: number of patients with non-missing percent liver fat at that visit. |
| Secondary | Percentage of Responders at Week 24 | From baseline to week 24 | The response criteria are defined as: a. A reduction of ≥ 30% from baseline in liver fat b. A reduction of ≥ 50% from baseline in liver fat c. Liver fat content \< 10% d. Liver fat content \< 5.6%. Percentage is calculated as (m/n)\*100 where m: number of patients who are responders. n: number of patients with non-missing percent liver fat at that visit. |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline Values for Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) , Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) and Gamma-glutamyl Transpeptidase (GGT) to Week 6 | From Baseline to week 6 | Change from baseline ALT, AST and GGT values collected post-dose was analyzed using Mixed Model of Repeated Measurements (MMRM). Baseline is defined as the value collected at Week 0 (randomization). Treatment group and visit were fitted as factors and baseline was fitted as a continuous covariate. |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline Values for Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) , Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) and Gamma-glutamyl Transpeptidase (GGT) to Week 12 | From Baseline to week 12 | Change from baseline ALT, AST and GGT values collected post-dose was analyzed using Mixed Model of Repeated Measurements (MMRM). Baseline is defined as the value collected at Week 0 (randomization). Treatment group and visit were fitted as factors and baseline was fitted as a continuous covariate. |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline Values for Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) , Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) and Gamma-glutamyl Transpeptidase (GGT) to Week 24 | From Baseline to week 24 | Change from baseline ALT, AST and GGT values collected post-dose was analyzed using Mixed Model of Repeated Measurements (MMRM). Baseline is defined as the value collected at Week 0 (randomization). Treatment group and visit were fitted as factors and baseline was fitted as a continuous covariate. |
| Secondary | Percentage of Patients With Normalized Liver Enzymes | Baseline, week 6, week 12 and week 24 | Normalized liver enzymes defined as alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \< 40 U/L. Normal/High categories at baseline are defined by criteria of normal. Better is defined as high' at baseline and 'normal' post-dose; Same is defined as 'normal' at baseline and 'normal' post-dose or 'high' at baseline and 'high' post-dose; Worse is defined as 'normal' at baseline and 'high' post-dose. |
| Secondary | Percent Change From Baseline in Fasting Triglycerides | Baseline, 6, 12 and 24 weeks | Blood samples were collected for a fasting triglycerides (TG) after a 10-hour (overnight) fast. Adjusted geometric means which is reported are calculated by back-transforming the adjusted means from the model and expressing as a percentage change from baseline. Baseline is defined as the value collected at Week 0 (randomization). |
| Secondary | Post-prandial Peak Triglycerides Over 0 - 8 Hours | Baseline, 6 and 24 weeks | Post-prandial peak triglycerides is reported as maximum triglyceride value over 0-8 hours. Adjusted geometric means which is reported are calculated by back-transforming the adjusted means from the model. Baseline is defined as the value collected at Week 0 (randomization). |
