AI Summary
89bio, Inc. announced new analyses from its Phase 2b ENLIVEN trial, which evaluated pegozafermin in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and advanced fibrosis. The post-hoc data, presented at The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases’ Liver Meeting, indicate that pegozafermin may reverse fibrosis and help prevent progression to cirrhosis. The analyses showed improvements in noninvasive markers such as FAST scores, along with both MASH resolution and fibrosis improvement. These early results boost confidence in the design of the upcoming Phase 3 trials for both cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic MASH patients. By demonstrating notable benefits in key biomarkers, pegozafermin shows promise as a treatment option that could reduce the need for invasive procedures like liver biopsies, providing a new avenue for addressing advanced liver complications in high-risk MASH patients.
