MN-001 in Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, and Hypertriglyceridemia (NCT05464784)

A Phase 2, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of MN-001 in Patients Diagnosed With Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, and Hypertriglyceridemia

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Phase2 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: MediciNova

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The design of the Phase 2 clinical trial includes the following elements: * Multi-center, two-arm, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate MN-001 (tipelukast) vs. placebo in approximately 40 patients in the U.S. * Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive either 500 mg/day of MN-001 (tipelukast) or placebo for 24 weeks. * The co-primary endpoints are (1) change from baseline in liver fat content measured by controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) score at Week 24, and (2) change from baseline in fasting serum triglycerides at Week 24. FibroScanยฎ is a non-invasive, quantitative, and accurate measure of liver fat content commonly used in early phase trials to measure treatment response. * Secondary endpoints include safety and tolerability and changes in lipid profile (HDL-C, LDL-C, and total cholesterol).
