About this trial
This study enrolled 228 patients with MASLD-related cirrhosis confirmed by histopathology or clinical diagnosis. Follow-up was conducted every 3-6 months. The primary endpoint was cumulative incidence of liver-related events (including decompensation events, hepatocellular carcinoma, liver transplantation, and liver-related mortality) and all-cause mortality. Secondary endpoints included cumulative incidence of metabolic events and changes in non-invasive fibrosis markers.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
The liver biopsy during the screening period (liver biopsy within 6 months of screening is acceptable) showing cirrhosis with steatohepatitis according to the Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Clinical Research Network (NASH-CRN) scoring system, and there is no evidence of competitive aetiology.
The liver biopsy during the screening period (liver biopsy within 6 months of screening is acceptable) showing cirrhosis with steatosis (no steatohepatitis) according to NASH-CRN scoring system, and there is no evidence of competitive aetiology. There are at least 2 coexisting metabolic comorbidities or history of metabolic comorbidities, including overweight/obesity and/or prediabetes/type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Historical biopsy showed steatohepatitis, and now diagnosed with cirrhosis through non-invasive tests or clinical criteria (see criterion (6)-1)). There is no evidence of competing aetiology. There is at least 1 coexisting or history of metabolic comorbidity.
