A Study of RO5093151 in Patients With Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the change in liver fat content, pharmacokinetics and safety of RO5093151 in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Patients will be randomized to receive either daily oral doses of RO5093151 or matching placebo. The anticipated time on study treatment is 12 weeks.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change of liver fat content measured by magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) [Week 12]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in insulin resistance assessed by hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp [Week 12]
- Change in endogenous glucose production assessed by hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp [Week 12]
- Pharmacokinetic measures (max and min concentration, clearance, half-life, etc) [Week 12]
- Safety (incidence and nature of adverse events) [Week 12]
