此前,該藥物曾在美國進(jìn)行的一項(xiàng)2期臨床研究中接受檢驗(yàn),該研究名為EVIDENCES IV,是一項(xiàng)隨機(jī),雙盲,含安慰劑對(duì)照組的研究,共有106名患者參與。該試驗(yàn)的主要研究終點(diǎn)是在第16周時(shí),與安慰劑組相比,接受saroglitazar magnesium治療患者的肝臟丙氨酸轉(zhuǎn)氨酶(ALT)水平較基線時(shí)的變化。試驗(yàn)的次要終點(diǎn)包括通過無創(chuàng)核磁共振質(zhì)子密度脂肪分?jǐn)?shù)(MRI-PDFF)測(cè)量的肝脂肪含量變化等多項(xiàng)指標(biāo)。試驗(yàn)結(jié)果表明,與安慰劑組相比,saroglitazar magnesium使患者的ALT水平下降了44.39%。此外,通過MRI-PDFF定量評(píng)估患者的肝脂肪含量也達(dá)到了統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)意義上的顯著降低。
