Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- 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
- HbA1c% levels compare with baseline in 6 months [up to 24 weeks]
Efficacy
- Change in body weight compare with baseline in 6 months [up to 24 weeks]
Body Weight
- Change in waist circumference compare with baseline in 6 months [up to 24 weeks]
Waist Circumference
- 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
- 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
- Frequency of adverse events in 6 months [up to 24 weeks]
