Common Questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a carefully designed research study involving human volunteers to investigate the safety and effectiveness of a new drug or treatment. Clinical trials are essential for evaluating the benefits and risks of medical interventions, ultimately informing healthcare decisions and regulatory approvals.
Are clinical trials safe?
Clinical trials are designed with a strong emphasis on participant safety. Multiple safeguards are in place, including careful study design, oversight by institutional review boards, and routine monitoring of study data by independent experts. Researchers must inform participants of any risks, benefits, and side effects they discover.
What are my obligations as a participant?
Responsibilities vary by study but may include diagnostic tests, treatments, procedures, doctor visits, and lifestyle changes. Our team will walk you through everything before you commit to anything.
Can I drop out of a study?
Yes. You can withdraw at any time without any penalties or consequences. Voluntary participation is a fundamental principle of clinical research — you are never obligated to continue.

Overview
Addressing advanced liver scarring associated with Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH), Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MetALD), or Fatty Liver Disease can be challenging. If you have been diagnosed with liver fat and scarring, a local clinical research study may be a path forward.
Why Your Participation Matters:
By joining, you help researchers explore new ways to treat advanced liver disease. Qualified participants receive all study-related care and health monitoring at no cost and may be compensated for their time and travel.
About the Study
This Liver Fibrosis Research Study has been designed to assess an investigational medication (AZD2389) which targets a protein called fibroblast activating protein (FAP); this protein is involved in the development of liver fibrosis.
We are conducting this study to measure the safety and tolerability of AZD2389, as well as how the study medication acts in the body in participants with liver fibrosis. The findings from the study will help inform the design of a larger, longer term clinical study
Benefits
Qualified participants may receive:
Study-Related Care
Receive study-related tests, including Optional MRI, investigational medication, and care at no cost
Compensation
Compensation and/or reimbursement may be available for study-related time and travel.
No Insurance Needed
No health insurance or referrals are required to participate.
Who Can Join
You may be able to participate if you:
Are between 18 and 75 years old
Have MASH (fat buildup in the liver that causes inflammation)
Have advanced liver scarring (a past liver biopsy in your medical records may be used to confirm this)
Have a BMI of 25 or higher
Are in generally stable health
