In plain English
This study is testing a medicine called ALN-CIDEB in adults with MASLD (Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease) or MASH (Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis) — conditions where fat builds up in the liver. The study has two parts: Part A includes people with MASLD aged 18 to 55, and Part B includes people with MASH aged 18 to 65. It is run by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals.
Who can take part
- Adults aged 18 to 55 with MASLD (Part A), or 18 to 65 with MASH (Part B)
- Body mass index (BMI) between 30 and 40
- A certain level of liver fat, shown by a liver scan (FibroScan) and an MRI scan
- Part B only: MASH confirmed by medical history or signs such as fatty liver on scans and raised liver enzymes, plus 2 or more features of metabolic syndrome
- Part B only: a liver biopsy sample taken during screening meeting certain study requirements
- If you take medicines for blood pressure, cholesterol or blood sugar, the dose must have been stable for at least 12 weeks and not expected to change
Who may not be able to
- Portal hypertension (high pressure in the liver's blood vessels) or cirrhosis (severe scarring of the liver)
- Other types of long-term liver disease
- Suspected or known medicine-related liver injury within the past year
- Past liver transplant, being on a liver transplant list, or a MELD score above 12
- Unable to have MRI scans, for example due to a pacemaker, metal implants, or severe claustrophobia
- Certain liver stiffness, blood test or kidney function results, or uncontrolled high blood pressure, as set out in the study rules
- HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection found during screening
- Type 1 diabetes
- Weight-loss (bariatric) surgery within about the past 5 years or planned during the study
What taking part involves
- • Taking the study medicine ALN-CIDEB — details of how it is given are not stated, ask the trial team
- • Screening checks including a liver scan (FibroScan), an MRI scan to measure liver fat, and blood tests
- • Part B only: a liver biopsy (a small sample of liver tissue) during screening
Time commitment: Not stated — ask the trial team about how many visits there are, how long the study lasts, and what taking part involves.

About This Trial
This study is researching an experimental drug called ALN-CIDEB, also referred to as "study drug". The study is focused on participants with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) (Part A) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) (Part B). MASLD and MASH are long-lasting liver conditions caused by having too much fat in the liver. The aim of the study is to see how safe and tolerable the study drug is. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: * What side effects may happen from taking the study drug * How the study drug works to change liver fat content * How much study drug and study drug metabolites (byproducts of the body breaking down the study drug) are in the blood at different times
