A Phase 2A, Single Center, Open-label, Single-arm, 24-week Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Saroglitazar Magnesium 4 mg in Liver Transplant Recipients With Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
This is a phase 2A, single center, open-label, single-arm, 24-week study to evaluate the
safety, tolerability and efficacy of Saroglitazar Magnesium 4 mg in liver transplant
recipients with NAFLD as assessed by MRI-PDFF and MRE. The study will be conducted over a
period of up to 33 weeks and will include 5 weeks screening, a 24 week treatment period and 4
week follow-up period. The primary end point of the study is to assess the safety of
Saroglitazar Magnesium 4 mg in liver transplant recipients with NAFLD over 24 weeks of
treatment.
