What is SAMe used for in non alcoholic fatty liver disease?

SAMe is being developed as a treatment for non alcoholic fatty liver disease, a metabolic liver condition. Its clinical program has evaluated it in adults with this disease. It is investigational and has not been established as an approved therapy for this indication.

Who makes SAMe?

Abbott Laboratories, which trades under the ticker ABT, is the developer of SAMe. The company sponsored the Phase 3 clinical study of SAMe in non alcoholic fatty liver disease, which enrolled 108 participants across France, Germany, Poland, and Russia.

What phase is SAMe in?

SAMe is in Phase 3 clinical development for non alcoholic fatty liver disease. One Phase 3 trial has been completed, and no trials are currently active. SAMe is an investigational small molecule and is not an approved treatment for this indication.

What clinical trials is SAMe in?

SAMe has been studied in one completed Phase 3 trial, NCT01754714, titled a study of different doses of S-adenosyl-L-methionine in subjects with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, with non-treated matched healthy volunteers as a control group. It enrolled 108 participants, was randomized, and was not double blind.
