Frequently asked questions about SAMe

What is SAMe used for in Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease?

SAMe, also known as S-adenosyl-L-methionine, is being investigated for the treatment of Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). It is a small molecule in Phase 3 clinical development. The drug is intended to address the metabolic condition, though it remains investigational and is not yet approved for this use.

What does SAMe target?

SAMe is a small molecule that acts as a methyl donor in the body. It is involved in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, which is important for liver cell membrane integrity and fat metabolism. By supporting these processes, SAMe may help reduce fat accumulation in the liver, which is relevant to Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.

Who makes SAMe?

SAMe is being developed by Abbott Laboratories, a company traded on the stock exchange under the ticker ABT. The company is conducting clinical research on this drug for the treatment of Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, with the drug currently in Phase 3 development.

What phase is SAMe in?

SAMe is in Phase 3 clinical development for Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not yet been approved by regulatory authorities. One Phase 3 trial has been completed, involving 108 participants, but the drug is not yet available as a treatment.

What clinical trials is SAMe in?

SAMe has one completed clinical trial with the identifier NCT01754714. This Phase 3 study investigated the effects of different doses of S-adenosyl-L-methionine in subjects with Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and non-treated matched healthy volunteers as a control group. The trial enrolled 108 participants across France, Germany, Poland, and Russia.

Is SAMe the same as S-adenosyl-L-methionine?

Yes, SAMe is the same as S-adenosyl-L-methionine. The drug is commonly referred to by its abbreviation SAMe, while its full chemical name is S-adenosyl-L-methionine. In clinical trials, it is studied under this name, and both names refer to the same investigational drug for Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.
