First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests a drug called LAENNEC, made from human placenta, in people with chronic liver disease. It compares giving the drug as an intravenous drip versus a standard shot under the skin. The main goal is to see if the IV form lowers liver enzyme levels more effectively over 6 weeks. About 226 adults with alcoholic or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and elevated ALT levels are being recruited.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

LAENNEC (human placenta hydrolysate)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a new way to deliver LAENNEC intravenously to better manage chronic liver disease and reduce liver enzyme levels.

What could go wrong

This is a Phase 3 trial, but it compares two forms of the same drug, not against a placebo. The benefit over standard care is unclear, and long-term outcomes are not measured.
