Multinational Phase 2 Study on Cenicriviroc

The multinational phase 2 study on “A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial of Cenicriviroc for Treatment of Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis with Fibrosis” tested the efficacy and safety of cenicriviroc (CVC) in adults with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), the more severe form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and liver fibrosis. Results show CVC having significant antifibrotic benefit at year 1 and no worsening of steatohepatitis, warranting phase 3 development of the drug (Hepatology. 2017 Aug 17. doi: 10.1002/hep.29477.
