Condition/Disease

Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH)

Objectives

1. The main research purposes of the test are: •Using magnetic resonance imaging-proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) to evaluate the absolute change in liver fat between baseline and week 24 2. The secondary research purposes of the test are: • MRI-PDFF was used to evaluate the percentage change of liver fat between baseline and week 24 •Evaluation responders: Refers to subjects who have reached clinical significance at week 24 and have a relative reduction of liver fat content of at least 30% as measured by MRI-PDFF •Responder according to the Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) Inflammation Scoring System (NAS): A decrease in NAS of 2 points and a decrease in inflammation or hepatocyte expansion in the liver lobules by at least 1 point, and No subjects with worsening fibrosis Change in •Evaluated Alanine Transamination酶 (ALT)) from Baseline to Week 24 •Assessing the safety and tolerability of ADI-PEG 20 in subjects with NASH 3. The purpose of experimental exploration is to understand: •Changes in markers of liver injury and liver function since baseline, including aspartate transamination (AST), alkaline phosphate (ALP), and proglutamine GGT, Bilirubin, International Normalized Ratio (INR) and Albumin •Changes in weight and waist-to-hip ratio since baseline •Liver fat quantification by MRI-PDFF •Changes in non-invasive plasma (or serum) biomarkers since baseline, including predictors of liver fibrosis (pro-C3)

Test Drug

ADI-PEG 20

Active Ingredient

Arginine deiminase conjugated to polyethylene glycol 20,000 mw

Dosage Form

Injection

Dosage

3.5mL/vial;11.5±1.0mg/mL

Endpoints

1. Main evaluation indicators:
Absolute value changes in liver fat in MRI-proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) between baseline and week 24

2. Secondary evaluation indicators:
(1)Percent change of MRI-PDFF liver fat between baseline and weeks 12 and 24
(2) Responders: Refers to subjects who have reached clinical significance at week 24 and have a relative reduction of liver fat content of at least 30% as measured by MRI-PDFF
(3) Responders according to the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease inflammation scoring system (NAS): NAS is reduced by 2 points, and inflammation in the liver lobules or hepatocyte expansion is reduced by at least 1 point, and there is no worsening of fibrosis subjects
(4) Changes in alanine transamination (ALT) from baseline at weeks 12 and 24
(5) Safety and tolerability of ADI-PEG 20 in NASH subjects

Inclution Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Males and non-lactating, pregnancy test negative females between 18 - 80 years of age with biopsy proven F1 - F3 NASH. Limit F1 fibrosis to ≤ 20% of total subject population.
Willingness to use appropriate contraceptive measures though out study treatment and for 90 days thereafter (see Appendix A).
Body mass index (BMI) > 25 kg/m2
Must have confirmation of ≥ 10% liver fat content on MRI-PDFF at screening.
Biopsy-proven NASH. Must have had a liver biopsy within 4 weeks of randomization with fibrosis stage 1 to 3 and a non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) activity score (NAS) of ≥ 4 with at least a score of 1 in each of the following NAS components:

Steatosis (scored 0 to 3),
Ballooning degeneration (scored 0 to 2), and
Lobular inflammation (scored 0 to 3).
Must have no evidence of worsening of ALT and AST (within 50%) measurements at the screening (-4 weeks) and pre-baseline (-2 weeks) visits.
Screening laboratory parameters, as determined by the central laboratory:

Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 60 mL/min, as calculated by the Cockcroft- Gault equation;
HbA1c ≤ 9.5% (or serum fructosamine ≤ 381 µmol if HbA1c is unable to be resulted);
Hemoglobin ≥ 11 g/dL;
INR ≤ 1.3, unless due to therapeutic anticoagulation;
Direct bilirubin ≤ 0.5 mg/dL;
Total bilirubin ≤ 1.3 x upper limit of normal (ULN), unless due to an alternate etiology such as Gilbert's syndrome or hemolytic anemia;
Creatinine kinase < 3 x ULN;
Platelet count ≥ 150,000/µL;
Serum triglyceride level ≤ 500 mg/dL;
ALT < 5 x ULN;
AST < 5 x ULN;
ALP < 2 x ULN.
FibroScan® measurement > 7.0 kPa
Subjects on non-insulin dependent diabetic, weight loss, or lipid-modifying medication(s) must be on stable dose(s) for at least 3 months prior to the diagnostic liver biopsy through randomization.

Exclusion Criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

Weight gain or loss > 5% in the 3 months prior to randomization or > 10% in the 6 months prior to screening.
Type 1 and insulin-dependent Type 2 diabetes.
Presence of cirrhosis on liver biopsy (stage 4 fibrosis).
Poorly controlled hypertension (blood pressure [BP] > 160/100 mmHg).
Prior history of decompensated liver disease including ascites, hepatic encephalopathy (HE), or variceal bleeding.
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] positive).
Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (HCV antibody [Ab] and HCV ribonucleic acid [RNA] positive). Subjects cured of HCV infection less than 2 years prior (based on date of RNA polymerase chain reaction [PCR] negative confirmation following conclusion of treatment) to the screening visit are not eligible.
Prior or planned (during the study period) bariatric surgery (e.g., gastroplasty, roux-en-Y gastric bypass), surgery reversal or removal of intragastric balloon > 2 years prior to enrollment would be eligible.
Other causes of liver disease based on medical history and/or centralized review of liver histology, including but not limited to: alcoholic liver disease, autoimmune disorders (e.g., primary biliary cholangitis [PBC], primary sclerosing cholangitis [PSC], autoimmune hepatitis), drug-induced hepatotoxicity, Wilson disease, clinically significant iron overload, or alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency requiring treatment.
History of liver transplantation.
Current or prior history of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Alcohol intake above an average limit of 2 drinks per day for women and 3 drinks per day for men.
