Causal relationship between liver fat reduction and clinical outcomes in human genetic studies and randomized clinical trials of metabolic-dysfunction associated steatohepatitis
Reliance on invasive liver biopsy endpoints is a major limiting factor in new therapeutic development for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). While liver fat accumulation is considered a driver of early disease, liver fat reduction is not recognized as a surrogate endpoint by health authorities. He...
