Trial Outcomes & Findings for Alternate Dosing Study of MK-6024 in Adults With Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) (MK-6024-016) (NCT NCT06482112)

NCT ID: NCT06482112

Last Updated: 2026-06-01

Results Overview

Liver fat content (LFC) was measured with liver images taken by magnetic resonance imaging estimated proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) and analyzed by blinded independent central review (BICR). Relative Reduction from Baseline to Week 28 = (Baseline - Week 28) / Baseline x 100%. Least Squares (LS) Mean relative reduction from baseline in LFC is presented.

An AE is any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an AE. The percentage of participants who experienced an AE is presented.
