Study population text

This study will enroll adults aged 18-70 years with obesity (BMI \>30 kg/m²) and hepatic steatosis (CAP \>238 dB/m) confirmed within 3 months. Eligible participants must have metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) without other chronic liver conditions (e.g., viral hepatitis, cirrhosis complications like ascites, or MELD score \>12).

Inclusion criteria

Informed consent obtained before performing any research-related action. Research-related procedures include any procedures conducted within the framework of this study, including activities to assess eligibility criteria for participation in the study.
Body Mass Index (BMI) > 30 kg/m².
CAP test result > 238 dB/m based on steatometry performed no later than 3 months before the patient is included in the study.
Age 18-70 years at the time of signing the informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

Any contraindication to the appointment of semaglutide.
Documented reasons for chronic liver disease other than non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Positive test result for HBsAg, HIV antibodies, or positive test result for HCV-RNA.
Presence of ascites, bleeding from esophageal varices, hepatic encephalopathy, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, or liver transplantation at the time of screening or a history of these conditions.
ALT activity > 5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN).
AST activity > 5 times the ULN.
Alkaline phosphatase activity > 2 times the ULN at screening.
International Normalized Ratio (INR) of prothrombin time ≥ 1.35 at screening.
MELD score > 12 points at screening.
Platelet count less than 150,000 per microliter of blood, unless it reflects the patient's usual platelet level, and the patient does not have a diagnosis of portal hypertension in the investigator's opinion.
Treatment with GLP-1 receptor agonists within 90 days prior to the screening visit.
Treatment with hypolipidemic drugs or weight loss medications, whose dosage has not been stable, in the investigator's opinion, for 90 days prior to the screening visit.
Previous or planned (during the study period) treatment of obesity with surgical intervention or the installation of a special device for weight loss. However, the following procedures are allowed:

1. Liposuction and/or abdominoplasty, if performed more than 1 year before screening.

2. Laparoscopic gastric banding, if the band was removed more than 1 year before baseline liver biopsy and screening.

3. Intragastric balloon placement, if the balloon was removed more than 1 year before baseline liver biopsy and screening.

4. Duodenojejunal sleeve bypass, if the sleeve was removed more than 1 year before baseline liver biopsy and screening.

Presence of malignant neoplasms currently or in history within the last 5 years prior to screening. Exceptions include only basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer and any carcinoma in situ.
History of acute pancreatitis within 180 days prior to inclusion in the study.
Presence of chronic pancreatitis currently or in history.
Any of the following: myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure of NYHA class IV, hospitalization for unstable angina, or transient ischemic attack within the last 90 days before the screening day.
Any health disorder that, in the investigator's opinion, could jeopardize patient safety or affect compliance with the protocol requirements.
