Therapeutic Category: | Improve insulin resistance |
Clinical Trial Progress: | Phase 2 completed (NCT03763877: PXL770 treatment did not meet the primary outcome of liver fat improvement compared with placebo. Treatment was well tolerated. Given indications that metabolic features improved with PXL770 treatment, AMPK activation might be a promising pharmacological target for patients with type 2 diabetes and NAFLD, and could also be considered for further assessment in patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.) |
Latest Progress: | Under clinical trials |
