New treatment option for Intestinal Failure Associated Liver Disease
Official title A Study of NST-6179 in Subjects With Intestinal Failure-Associated Liver Disease (IFALD).
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05919680
What this study is testing
What is NST-6179 Part A?
NST-6179 Part A is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for intestinal failure associated liver disease.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This is a phase 2a, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of NST-6179 in subjects with intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD) receiving parenteral nutrition (PN). The study will be conducted in 2 sequential parts.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.

You may be able to join if
- Adult persons aged 16 years or older at the time of informed consent.
- Minimum of 6 months on Parenteral supplementation.
- Established clinical diagnosis of IFALD based on a persistent elevation of
- liver enzymes (ALP, AST, ALT, or GGT ≥1.5 × upper limit of normal [ULN]) for ≥6 months and/or

- Transient elastography read \>20.0 kPA within 3 months prior to or during the Screening Period.
- Estimated glomerular filtration rate \<45 mL/min based on the 2021 CKD-EPI creatinine equation.
- Poor nutritional status defined as body mass index (BMI) \<17 kg/m2.
