Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled and parallel group study of GL0034 (Utreglutide) for the treatment of participants with at-risk metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).

Approximately 60 participants will be randomly assigned to receive GL0034/Placebo in a ratio of 2:1. GL0034/Placebo is administered weekly as a subcutaneous injection given by a registered nurse for a period of 24 weeks, The dose will be increased gradually for a period of 4 weeks (called the Dose Titration Period). Participants will then receive a final fixed dose (called the Final Dose Period).

Vital signs including temperature, blood pressure and weight will be regularly reviewed in addition to the collection of blood tests every 2-4 weeks to assess overall health and any study drug effects. Blood samples will be collected prior to dosing at week 1 and weekly from weeks 13-27. Blood samples will also be collected 24hrs after dosing at week 13 and 17 and at the following timepoints after the final dose of the study at week 24: Post-dose 1 day, 2 days, 4 days, 7 days, 14 days, 21 days and 28 days The purpose of these blood samples is to measure the levels of GL0034 in the blood.

Previous clinical studies shown TEAE observed to date (IB V3, 18DEC 2024) are the GLP-1 RA class effect such nauseam vomiting, early satiety and decreased appetite. No safety signal or alert were identified in previous clinical studies. Hence, continuing monitoring safety incidence, severity and change from baseline of treatment-emergent AE's in comparison to other GLP-1 RA class medication.
