ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange From Baseline in Percentage of Fat in the Liver as Assessed Using MRI at Week 24From baseline to week 24Patients 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).
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Percentage of Fat in the Liver as Assessed Using MRI at Week 12From baseline to week 12Patients 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).
SecondaryPercentage of Responders at Week 12At 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.
SecondaryPercentage of Responders at Week 24From 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.
SecondaryChange From Baseline Values for Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) , Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) and Gamma-glutamyl Transpeptidase (GGT) to Week 6From 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.
SecondaryChange From Baseline Values for Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) , Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) and Gamma-glutamyl Transpeptidase (GGT) to Week 12From 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.
SecondaryChange From Baseline Values for Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) , Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) and Gamma-glutamyl Transpeptidase (GGT) to Week 24From 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.
SecondaryPercentage of Patients With Normalized Liver EnzymesBaseline, 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.
SecondaryPercent Change From Baseline in Fasting TriglyceridesBaseline, 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).
SecondaryPost-prandial Peak Triglycerides Over 0 - 8 HoursBaseline, 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).
