What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This Phase 2a trial is testing a new drug called ALN-PNP, alone or with a weight-loss drug (tirzepatide), in 204 adults with a specific genetic form of fatty liver disease (MASLD). The goal is to see if lowering a certain liver protein can reduce liver fat. Participants must have a high liver fat level and a specific gene variant.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
ALN-PNP (a drug that lowers a protein linked to liver fat) and tirzepatide (a weight and blood sugar control drug)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with a genetic form of fatty liver disease, potentially reducing liver fat and improving liver health.
What could go wrong
This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 204 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may cause side effects or fail to reduce liver fat significantly.
