Study Summary

The goal of this randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, Multicenter Phase II clinical trial is to initially evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of MT2004 Capsule in Cholestatic and Mixed drug induced liver injury (DILI) subjects.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. The Efficacy of MT2004 Capsule in Cholestatic and Mixed DILI subjects

  2. The Safety and Pharmacokinetic characteristic of MT2004 Capsule in Cholestatic and Mixed DILI subjects

  3. The mechanism of using MT2004 Capsule on Cholestatic and Mixed DILI subjects

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

    1. 18≤ age ≤ 75 years, male or female.
  1. When diagnosis of acute DILI, the liver biochemical threshold of patients must meetone of the following criteria: :(1) ALT ≥5 ×ULN;(2) ALP ≥2× ULN;(3) ALT≥3× ULN andTBil ≥2×ULN.
  2. ALP ≥2× ULN, and conform to the clinical classification of cholestatic type ormixed type DILI in the Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment ofDrug-induced Liver Injury (2023 edition) (cholestatic type: R value ≤2; Mixed type: 2<R value <5).
  3. Excluded other common causes of acute liver injury, such as acute viral hepatitisA, B, C, E, autoimmune hepatitis, biliary tract disease, PBC, etc. (Exclusivediagnostic tests completed in our hospital or other hospitals after this suspectedacute DILI event or within 2 months before screening were acceptable)
  4. RUCAM causality scale score ≥6 points; If the RUCAM score is between the 3-5 it isnecessary to evaluate the causal relationship by three experts according to theevaluation criteria of expert opinions in the Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis andTreatment of Drug-induced Liver Injury (2023 edition), and at least two expertsdetermine that the liver injury of the patients are "likely", "very likely" or "definitely" caused by drugs.
  5. The serious level of DILI is within level 1-2 based on the Chinese Guidelines forthe Diagnosis and Treatment of Drug-induced Liver Injury (2023 edition).
  6. The duration of this liver injury is less than 6 months.
  7. The female with fertility must have had a negative pregnancy test results beforebeing enrolled, or at least 1 year after pausimenia, or permanent sterilization ≥6weeks(There should have a recording of hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy).The female and their male partners with the fertility potential agree to utilize theeffective contraceptive methods(the following two methods can be selected: 1. any ofthe condom, diaphragm, Sponge or Cervical Cap with with Spermicide ).
  8. Fully understand the study process of the clinical trial, and provide the signedICF of joinning the clinical trial.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

Study Description

Xi'An Aolitai Pharmaceutical Technology Co Ltd is developing MT2004, a novel investigational synthetic small molecule farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist targeted to the liver. The MT2004 was designed as the prodrug and the metabolites MT2004-met1 of MT2004 will act to the FXR receptor to regulate a series of genes expression. It also plays an important role in the metabolism of bile acids, lipids and sugars.

The goal of this randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, Multicenter Phase II clinical trial is to initially evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of MT2004 Capsule in Cholestatic and Mixed drug induced liver injury (DILI) subjects. The whole study will be divied to three stages including screening period (14 Days before the treatment), treatment period (the participants will be randomized to receive MT2004, or placebo orally (BID), for 12 weeks) and follow-up period. The study aims to recruit total of 80 subjects with Cholestatic and Mixed DILI, in which 12 of subjects will be firstly enrolled and allocated to the MT2004 group (Dose level: 25mg) as well as control group with the proportion of 2:1 by using the stratified randomization method. During the whole study, the adjustment of the subjects amount, the dose level as well as randomization proportion will based on the decesion of Independent Data Monitoring Board (IDMC). The highest dose will not exceed the 50mg BID.

The placebo will be used in this study, and the researchers will compare the placebo and test article to see the safety and efficacy.
