NASH Pipeline Shows Promise with 80+ Emerging Therapies in Development
• Over 80 companies are actively developing treatments for Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), with Inventiva Pharma and Cirius Therapeutics leading with Phase III candidates lanifibranor and MSDC-0602K respectively.
• Lanifibranor, a triple PPAR agonist with FDA Breakthrough Therapy designation, demonstrates significant anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic properties, while MSDC-0602K selectively modulates the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier to improve metabolic parameters.
• Novel therapeutic approaches include Terns Pharmaceuticals' THR-β agonist TERN-501 and HighTide Biopharma's HTD1801, both showing promising results in reducing liver fat and improving metabolic markers in Phase II trials.
