Type 2 & other diabetes

A phase 2a, randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, three‐arm, parallel‐group study to assess the efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacodynamics of PF ‐06835919 in patients with non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

PF-06835919 administration over 16 weeks was generally safe and well tolerated and resulted in reductions in WLF in participants with NAFLD and T2D.

Study context
