Researchers are studying an investigational medicine for adults with cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) caused by fatty liver disease, also known as MASH or NASH. The study is for people whose liver is still working well enough that it has not caused serious problems such as fluid build-up in the belly or bleeding. People who take part receive either the study medicine or a placebo (a look-alike with no medicine in it), given as a small shot under the skin. Neither the participant nor the study team knows which one is given. The study follows people over a long period, with regular visits, blood work and liver checks. The study team at Life Medical Research Group in Miami Gardens will explain the visit schedule and answer every question before anyone decides to join. Taking part is voluntary.
