Randomised clinical trial: Pemafibrate, a novel selective peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor α modulator (SPPARMα), versus placebo in patients with non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease

Abstract

Pemafibrate did not decrease liver fat content but had significant reduction in MRE-based liver stiffness. Pemafibrate may be a promising therapeutic agent for NAFLD/NASH, and also be a candidate for combination therapy with agents that reduce liver fat content. ClinicalTrials.gov, number: NCT03350165.
