Become a mentorAbout the Eli Lilly Liver Disease Trial
SYNERGY is a Phase III trial (a study that tests an investigational medication to see if it works better, or just as well, as the current standard treatment). It is exploring if the investigational medicine (when added to their current care) can improve or reduce progression and/or adverse outcomes associated with high risk liver disease.
To be tested 2,250 patients
This study will be evaluated across a large and diverse group of participants to ensure reliable and meaningful results.
Approx. 3.5-year treatment
Each participant will receive the study treatment for around three and a half years as part of the clinical trial.
Randomized, Controlled Study
Participants are randomly assigned to different treatment groups, allowing researchers to fairly compare outcomes across groups.
Safety & Effectiveness Evaluated
The study closely monitors whether the treatment is safe to use long term and how well it works to reduce disease progression.
Regular Health & Liver Monitoring
Participants attend approximately 25–30 visits to track overall health and assess liver function and disease-related complications

I just want to be there for someone who’s going through something I’ve been through, sometimes simply sharing an experience can make a big difference.

A community like PatientPartner is so important because sometimes you just don’t know where to go. You need that community to lean on and trust. And I want to help others.
