First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This early-stage study tests a new drug called OPK-88006 in 30 people, first in healthy volunteers and then in those with MASH (a serious liver condition). The goal is to check safety, how the drug moves through the body, and early signs of liver improvement. Results will help decide if larger studies are warranted.
