GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has announced a new clinical study titled ‘A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, 3-Arm Study to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of Efimosfermin Alfa in Participants With Biopsy-Confirmed F2- or F3-Stage Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH) (ZENITH-1)’. The study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of efimosfermin alfa in resolving steatohepatitis and improving liver-related outcomes in patients with MASH and fibrosis stages F2 or F3.
The intervention being tested is efimosfermin alfa, a drug designed to treat non-alcoholic fatty liver disease by improving liver health and function. The study will compare two different doses of efimosfermin alfa against a placebo to determine its efficacy and safety.
This Phase 3 study is interventional and randomized, with a parallel assignment model. It employs a double-blind masking approach, meaning neither the participants nor the investigators know who is receiving the treatment or placebo. The primary goal is to treat and improve liver conditions associated with MASH.
The study is set to begin on October 15, 2025, with its primary completion and estimated completion dates yet to be announced. The latest update was submitted on October 24, 2025. These dates are crucial for tracking the study’s progress and potential impact on the market.
For investors, this study could signal a significant development in the treatment of liver diseases, potentially boosting GSK’s market position if successful. The outcome could influence GSK’s stock performance positively, especially in comparison to competitors in the pharmaceutical industry focused on similar conditions.
The study is ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
