This study evaluates whether the experimental drug ALN-PNP is safe and well tolerated in healthy adults and in people with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD; fat build-up in the liver), using a placebo for comparison. Healthy adults meeting the defined age and body-mass-index criteria, along with participants who have MASLD, are included. The study is in Phase 1/Phase 2 and is currently recruiting.
