Dual efficacy: Rezdiffra delivers statistically significant fibrosis improvement* and steatohepatitis resolution at Week 521

There were no differences in response to Rezdiffra for both primary endpoints based on age, gender, type 2 diabetes status, GLP‑1 therapy, or fibrosis stage (F2 or F3)1,2

In MAESTRO-NASH, patients without a Week 52 liver biopsy were considered an “endpoint non-responder” in the primary endpoint analysis for the intent-to-treat population (N=888).1 Given these “endpoint non-responders” were each randomized to a treatment group and could have potentially responded, the FDA conducted an independent sensitivity analysis, imputing all missing values with a logistic regression model, which adjusted for treatment group, baseline type 2 diabetes (presence or absence), baseline fibrosis stage (F2 or F3), and pathologist.4 Based on Madrigal data, 695 (78.3% of the 888) patients had paired biopsy data at both baseline and Week 52 (n=246, placebo; n=234, 80 mg; n=215, 100 mg), resulting in 193 (21.7%) patients without paired biopsy data (n=48, placebo; n=64, 80 mg; n=81, 100 mg).3

*Fibrosis improvement: ≥1-stage improvement in fibrosis with no worsening of steatohepatitis (defined as no increase in score for ballooning, inflammation, or steatosis).1

Steatohepatitis resolution: Resolution of steatohepatitis (score of 0-1 for inflammation, 0 for ballooning, and any value for steatosis) with no worsening of liver fibrosis.1
Patients with missing liver biopsy at Week 52 were considered non-responders.1
§Combined pathologist results estimated using the Mantel-Haenszel method stratified by baseline type 2 diabetes status (presence or absence) and fibrosis stage (F2 or F3).2
