About
To validate the ability of the Methacetin Breath Test (MBT) to detect clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH)/severe portal hypertension (SPH) defined as hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) ≥ 10 mmHg and HVPG ≥ 12 mmHg respectively, in patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) during the course of treatment with Conatus's investigational product emricasan/placebo.
Full description
This study is a companion protocol that will use the data generated by Conatus' study of emricasan under protocol IDN-6556-14 (NCT02960204).The IDN-6556-14 study is a Phase 2, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial in subjects with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) cirrhosis and severe portal hypertension.
As one of the Conatus' study exploratory objectives, this companion protocol is designed to assess whether emricasan compared to placebo improves liver metabolic function at Weeks 24 and 48 as assessed by the methacetin breath test (at select sites), if relevant.
