Background
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a type of liver disease wherein there is excessive liver fat and inflammation. NASH can lead to liver damage and deterioration. According to the World Journal of Gastroenterology, about 80 to 100 million people are affected by liver disease in the United States. Among those 80 to 100 people, nearly 25% progress to NASH. Researchers are seeking better treatment options for patients with this condition to help better prevent total liver decomposition.
This research study seeks to assess the effectiveness of a new potential treatment for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The potential treatment will be taken orally through a capsule.
Interested participants must be between 18 to 75 years old who are diagnosed with NASH. Participants must be willing to comply with the necessary study requirements. Compensation is available for eligible participants.
