Clinical Trial Summary

The study aims to evaluate the safety of J2H-1702 compared to the placebo and explore the efficacy of J2H-1702 at Week 12 timepoint after administration compared to baseline in patients with NASH.

Description:

Subjects will be randomized to the study group 1 (J2H-1702 A mg), study group 2 (J2H-1702 B mg), study group 3 (J2H-1702 C mg), or control group (placebo of J2H-1702) in a 1:1:1:1 ratio and administered the investigational product (IP) for 12 weeks. After the IP administration, the safety and efficacy will be evaluated at V4, V8 and V12 (end of treatment, EOT).
