89bio presented new analyses from the Phase 2b ENLIVEN trial evaluating pegozafermin in MASH patients with advanced fibrosis at The Liver Meeting® 2024. The post-hoc analyses demonstrate pegozafermin's potential anti-fibrotic effects and the utility of non-invasive tests (NITs) in correlating with histological endpoints. The data, presented in four poster sessions, showed that pegozafermin improved FAST scores and achieved both MASH resolution and fibrosis improvement, suggesting its effectiveness in preventing progression to cirrhosis in advanced MASH patients. The findings support the design of upcoming Phase 3 trials for both cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic MASH.
