VK2809 in NAFLD: a phase 2 study Summary of adverse events • Good tolerability and safety • No serious adverse events observed in any arm • No dose-related trends in AEs • Excellent gastro-intestinal tolerability VK2809-phase 2 Loomba R, AASLD 2018, Abs. LB4
VK2809 in NAFLD: a phase 2 study • Summary • VK2809 produced robust reduction in liver fat on MRI-PDFF in NAFLD patients after 12 weeks of oral dosing • Up to 91% of patients dosed with VK2809 experienced a response as demonstrated by liver fat reductions ≥ 30% relative to baseline ; 67% experienced liver fat reductions ≥ 50% • VK2809 produced significant reduction in LDL-C, triglycerides, Apo B, and Lp(a) relative to placebo in NAFLD patients • VK2809 was safe and well-tolerated VK2809-phase 2 Loomba R, AASLD 2018, Abs.
