Brief Summary:
This phase 2, double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study is to assess the safety and efficacy of miricorilant (CORT118335) in patients with presumed Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) Drug: Miricorilant Drug: Placebo Phase 2

Detailed Description:

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that assessed the safety efficacy and pharmacokinetics (PK) of miricorilant in patients with presumed Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH). Patients who meet the criteria for Study CORT118335-860 were randomized on Day 1 to receive 900 mg miricorilant, 600 mg miricorilant, or placebo for 12 weeks.

Due to observations related to safety, the study was terminated prior to completion and study objectives, endpoints, and procedures were modified as specified in the protocol.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Relative Change From Baseline in Liver Fat Content Assessed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Proton Density Fat Fraction [ Time Frame: Baseline and up to ~Day 95 ]
    The change from baseline in liver fat content (LFC) by magnetic resonance imaging-proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) for each miricorilant dose level (600 mg, 900 mg) versus placebo was assessed. MRI-PDFF was performed to determine the degree of LFC reduction. The relative change is defined for each participant as %: ([Post-Baseline LFC-Baseline LFC]/Baseline LFC) × 100. Due to observations related to safety, the study was terminated. If the participant had at least 6 weeks of treatment, the assessment was completed at the early termination visit. Due to the small sample size, no formal tests were performed to assess statistical differences between treatment groups.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of Participants Achieving a Relative Reduction From Baseline in LFC of ≥30% by MRI-PDFF [ Time Frame: Baseline and up to ~Day 95 ]
    The number of participants (defined as responders) with a ≥30% reduction in LFC from baseline by treatment group as assessed by MRI-PDFF. The number of participants with a reduction in LFC from baseline of <30% were defined as non-responders. MRI-PDFF was performed at screening and up to 33 days after last dose of study drug. Due to observations related to safety, the study was terminated. If the participant had at least 6 weeks of treatment, the assessment was completed at the early termination visit. Due to the small sample size, no formal tests were performed to assess statistical differences between treatment groups.

  2. Change From Baseline in Aspartate Aminotransferase [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 6 ]
    The change in aspartate aminotransferase (AST) from baseline for each treatment group at the Week 6 visit is summarized. Due to the small sample size, no formal tests were performed to assess statistical differences between treatment groups.

  3. Change From Baseline in Alanine Aminotransferase [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 6 ]
    The change in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) from baseline for each treatment group at the Week 6 visit is summarized. Due to the small sample size, no formal tests were performed to assess statistical differences between treatment groups.

  4. Change From Baseline in Gamma-glutamyl Transferase [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 6 ]
    The change in gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) from baseline for each treatment group at the Week 6 visit is summarized. Due to the small sample size, no formal tests were performed to assess statistical differences between treatment groups.

  5. Change From Baseline in Propeptide of Type III Collagen [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 6 ]
    The change in serum propeptide of Type III collagen (pro-C3) from baseline at the Week 6 visit is summarized. Due to the small sample size, no formal tests were performed to assess statistical differences between treatment groups.

  6. Change From Baseline in Enhanced Liver Fibrosis Score [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 6 ]
    The change in enhanced liver fibrosis (ELF) from baseline for each treatment group at the Week 6 visit is summarized. The ELF score combines 3 serum biomarkers (hyaluronic acid, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 [TIMP-1] and type III procollagen [PIIINP]) which have been shown to correlate with the degree of liver fibrosis assessed by liver biopsy. Each of these markers is measured by an immunoassay and an ELF score is generated [ELF=2.278+0.851 ln(HA)+0.751 ln(PIIINP)+0.394 ln(TIMP-1)], from which a level of fibrosis severity can be determined; higher ELF scores are associated with worsening liver fibrosis. Due to the small sample size, no formal tests were performed to assess statistical differences between treatment groups.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Number of Participants With a Relative Reduction in Liver Fat Content ≥50% by Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Proton Density Fat Fraction (MRI-PDFF) for Miricorilant Versus Placebo [ Time Frame: Baseline and up to ~Day 95 ]
  2. Number of Participants With Complete Resolution in Liver Fat by MRI-PDFF for Miricorilant Versus Placebo [ Time Frame: Baseline and up to ~Day 95 ]
