End-stage metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) features profound disruptions in thyroid hormone metabolism across liver, portal, and systemic compartments, with the hepatic T3 level and systemic T3/rT3 ratio serving as se
This mediation analysis of a phase 2 MASH trial reveals that survodutide improves liver inflammation and fibrosis predominantly through weight-independent mechanisms, highlighting a potential direct hepatic effect beyond weight reduction.
Researchers developed and validated the FMO score, a noninvasive, cost-effective tool to identify at-risk metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) in obese patients, showing strong predictive performance across multiple inter
In adults with suspected MASH, 200 IU/day vitamin E lowered ALT as effectively as 400 IU/day and 800 IU/day over 24 weeks, with no short-term safety signal, supporting lower-dose use if vitamin E is chosen.
This review synthesizes clinical evidence for Belapectin, a Galectin-3 inhibitor, focusing on its ability to prevent esophageal varices in patients with MASH cirrhosis and portal hypertension as demonstrated in the NAVIGATE trial.
This review synthesizes clinical evidence on belapectin, a galectin-3 inhibitor, highlighting its potential to reduce the incidence of esophageal varices in patients with MASH-related cirrhosis and portal hypertension, particularly at the 2
This review synthesizes the evolving landscape of noninvasive tests (NITs) in MASH, detailing their role as surrogate endpoints for adverse outcomes and therapeutic response based on recent clinical trials and meta-analyses.
This article summarizes the updated clinical care pathway for Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), highlighting new diagnostic nomenclature, risk stratification tools, and the integration of the first FDA-approv
The Phase 2 trial of efimosfermin alfa (BOS-580) shows that once-monthly dosing is safe and well-tolerated in patients with MASH and F2/F3 fibrosis, supporting its continued clinical development as a potential liver-targeted therapy.
The 24-week results of the IMPACT trial show that pemvidutide significantly improves MASH resolution without worsening fibrosis. While fibrosis improvement did not reach significance at this early time point, the drug’s safety profile
The Phase 2b IMPACT trial demonstrates that pemvidutide, a GLP-1/glucagon dual agonist, significantly achieves MASH resolution at 24 weeks without dose titration, though fibrosis improvement did not reach significance at this early timepoin
This review synthesizes findings from the MAESTRO-NASH trial, highlighting that Resmetirom’s efficacy is maintained alongside GLP-1 RAs and SGLT2 inhibitors, while being significantly enhanced by concurrent weight loss.
The SYNERGY-NASH trial demonstrates that Tirzepatide significantly improves MASH resolution and liver fibrosis. This effect is driven by substantial weight loss, improved glycemic control, and liver fat normalization, highlighting a transfo
Pemvidutide, a dual GLP‑1/glucagon receptor agonist, reduced liver fat markedly and produced small but statistically significant reductions in AI‑quantified fibrosis over 24 weeks in phase 2 studies, but longer trials with clinical endpoint
An evidence-based, practical summary of the IMPG consensus on standardized histologic grading and staging for MASH (MASLD) clinical trials, with recommendations for biopsy processing, feature definitions, scoring, central reading, and AI-re
A phase 2b trial demonstrates that several noninvasive tests reliably reflect treatment response to semaglutide in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis, correlating with histologic improvements over 72 weeks.
This phase I randomized study shows rapirosiran, an RNAi therapeutic targeting HSD17B13, is safe and effectively reduces liver HSD17B13 mRNA in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).
AI-assisted digital pathology improves inter-pathologist agreement on fibrosis staging in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), enhancing clinical trial accuracy and efficiency.
AZD2693, a liver-directed antisense oligonucleotide, safely reduces PNPLA3 expression and liver fat in homozygous PNPLA3 148M carriers with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis, signaling promise for precision treatment in this
A phase IIb trial of the FFAR1/FFAR4 agonist icosabutate in MASH shows encouraging fibrosis improvement and biomarker responses despite not meeting the primary endpoint, supporting further development.
