    On September 13, 2021, Hepion Pharmaceuticals announced the additional efficacy data of the phase 2a clinical trial AMBITION of the new cyclophilins inhibitor CRV431 under investigation


    A total of 43 NASH patients were enrolled in the multicenter, randomized single-blind, placebo-controlled AMBITION


    Previous studies have shown that the reduction of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in patients' serum may be a surrogate indicator for histological improvement of NASH

    This additional data shows:

    In subjects with baseline Pro-C3 levels> 17.


    Pro-C3 levels> 15-20 ng/mL are generally considered to represent the main patient population for active NASH disease and many NASH drug candidates


    Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamics (PK-PD) and transcriptomics analysis found that CRV431 treatment produced gene expression changes consistent with anti-fibrosis effects


    The PK-PD model successfully predicted the reduction of Pro-C3 and ALT.
