glucagon is the most under-discussed thing on this board
Something I keep coming back to: glucagon is the most under-discussed thing on this board. Imaging-derived liver fat fraction is a surrogate. It correlates with histology imperfectly, and a trial reporting one is not reporting the other. Nothing containing this compound is approved anywhere. Research-use-only…
Yes — nothing containing this is approved anywhere, which is the first fact and usually the last one mentioned.
Biopsy-confirmed population or imaging-selected?
Which phase and which arm are you quoting?
fibrosis improvement without worsening steatohepatitis is the phrase to learn
Histological endpoints in this field are scored on biopsy: resolution of steatohepatitis without worsening of fibrosis, or improvement in fibrosis without worsening of steatohepatitis. Both are harder to achieve and to interpret than an imaging surrogate.
Small fix — dual agonist, GLP-1 and glucagon. No GIP arm in this molecule.
biopsy-confirmed is not the same as imaging-suggested
