STARLIGHT تحقیقی مطالعہ کیا ہے؟

STARLIGHT is a clinical study testing the effects of the study drug, GSK4532990, in adults with alcohol-related liver disease (ALD). Researchers want to see if the study drug can improve ALD and if it’s safe and well-tolerated.

In ALD, damage to the liver caused by heavy alcohol drinking worsens over time. A certain protein made in the liver is thought to be involved in the development and worsening of ALD. The study drug works by lowering the amount of this protein, which may reduce the harmful effects of alcohol on the liver.

Your participation is highly valued. Information learned from this study may help others with similar alcohol-related health problems in the future.

The study drug GSK4532990 (active drug)

A placebo (inactive drug)*
