Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Ertugliflozin

Ertugliflozin 5/15mg once daily with standard of care

Drug: Ertugliflozin 5 mg, 15mg
Ertugliflozin 5/15mg once daily in addition to standard of care

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Radiologic liver parameters [up to 24 weeks]

    Number of participants reported change in liver fat content from baseline, as quantified by fibroscan

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. HbA1c% levels compare with baseline in 6 months [up to 24 weeks]

    Efficacy

  2. Change in body weight compare with baseline in 6 months [up to 24 weeks]

    Body Weight

  3. Change in waist circumference compare with baseline in 6 months [up to 24 weeks]

    Waist Circumference

  4. Fibrosis 4 score levels compare with baseline in 6 months [up to 24 weeks]

    Fibrosis Scoring < 1.45 indicates Fibrosis Stage 0-2, 1.45 to 3.25 is deemed indeterminate fibrosis stage, > 3.25 indicates Fibrosis stage 3-4

  5. Non-Alchoholic Fatty Liver Disease Fibrosis Score levels compare with baseline in 6 months [up to 24 weeks]

    Non-Alchoholic Fatty Liver Disease Fibrosis Scoring, < -1.455 indicates Fibrosis Stage 0-2, -1.455 to 0.676 is considered indeterminate fibrosis stage, > 0.676 indicates Fibrosis Stage 3-4

  6. Frequency of adverse events in 6 months [up to 24 weeks]
