First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This Phase II trial tests an injection called DR10624 in 110 adults with fatty liver disease (MASLD) who are at high risk of liver fibrosis (scarring). The study is split into two parts: Part 1 checks if the drug reduces liver fat and fibrosis risk, while Part 2 focuses on safety in a related condition. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either DR10624 or a placebo, and neither they nor their doctors know which they get.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

DR10624 injection (a drug being tested to reduce liver fat and fibrosis)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with fatty liver disease who are at high risk of liver scarring.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase II trial with only 110 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not work better than placebo, and side effects are still being studied.
