About this study

This study is open to adults with a type of confirmed liver condition called compensated cirrhosis due to Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH). The purpose of this study is to find out how well a study medicine called BI 3802876 is tolerated in people with this condition. The study looks at how different doses of BI 3802876 are handled by the body. BI 3802876 is being developed to improve liver health in people living with this liver condition. Participants are put in 3 different dose groups randomly, which means by chance. Participants within a group get BI 3802876 or placebo. Placebo looks like BI 3802876 but does not contain any medicine. Participants have more than twice the chance of receiving BI 3802876 than placebo. The study medicine is given as an infusion into a vein. Participants are in the study for about half a year. During this time, they visit the study site 12 times. At 2 visits, participants get the study medicine. Doctors collect information on any health problems and take blood samples to check how BI 3802876 is handled by the body. They compare results between the groups.

You may qualify if…

✓ Male or female adults ≥18 to ≤75 years of age at the time of screening, and at least the legal age of consent in countries where it is \> 18 years
✓ Patients meeting criteria for Child-Pugh category A without history of previous decompensation event
✓ Compensated Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH) cirrhosis diagnosed by 1 of the following:
✓ The most recent liver biopsy (≤ 5 years prior to randomisation) showing cirrhosis with steatohepatitis. There is no evidence for a competing aetiology.
✓ Historical biopsy (≤ 5 years prior to randomisation) showed steatohepatitis with F1 to F3 fibrosis, but now with cirrhosis either by NITs or biopsy. There is no evidence of competing aetiology. If there is a current biopsy (≤ 6 months prior to randomisation), and it does not show evidence of steatosis or steatohepatitis, there is at least 1 coexisting or history of metabolic comorbidity.
✓ The most recent liver biopsy (≤ 5 years prior to randomisation) showing cirrhosis with steatosis. There are at least 2 coexisting metabolic comorbidities or history of metabolic comorbidities, including obesity and/or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). There is no evidence for a competing aetiology.
✓ Historical biopsy (≤ 5 years prior to randomisation) showed steatosis, but now with cirrhosis, either by NITs or biopsy. If there is a current biopsy (≤ 6 months prior to randomisation), and it does not show evidence of steatosis or steatohepatitis, there are at least 2 coexisting or history of metabolic comorbidities including obesity and/or T2DM. There is no evidence of competing aetiology.
✓ Trial participant with cirrhosis with current or previous imaging showing evidence of steatosis (by liver ultrasound or CT scan or FibroScan® with CAP ≥288 dB/m or MRI-PDFF ≥5%). There is no liver histology available. There are at least 2 coexisting or history of metabolic comorbidities, including obesity and/or T2DM. There is no evidence of competing aetiology.
