NCT ID NCT07303803
First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study tests whether a drug called chiglitazar, combined with anti-inflammatory and liver-protecting therapies, can improve liver health in people who have both MASH (a severe fatty liver disease) and type 2 diabetes. About 300 adults will receive either the drug combo or a placebo for several months. The main goal is to see if the treatment can resolve liver inflammation without worsening scarring.
