Study Summary

The study will evaluate the effect of coadministration of a range of doses of DGAT2i with 1 dose of ACCi, on hepatic steatosis and the ability of DGAT2i to mitigate ACCi-induced elevations in serum triglycerides. The study has a 2-part design with sequential conduct of Part 1 and Part 2 with each part conducted in distinct/separate cohorts of participants. The overall study design, objectives/endpoints, eligibility criteria for both parts is envisioned to be identical, however, data from Part 1 will be used to determine whether to conduct Part 2.

Primary Outcome

MRI-PDFF technique is an established method that enables quantification of fat content in the liver. It measures the fraction of mobile protons in the liver attributable to fat content and provides whole liver coverage so that fat content can be assessed across 8 Couinaud liver segments. Whole liver PDFF = the sum of PDFFs for (Segment I + Segment II + Segment III + Segment IVa + Segment IVb + Segment V + Segment VI + Segment VII + Segment VIII) divided by (number of segments assessed and no mis
