Patients in the study had a NAFLD Activity Score (NAS) ≥4 at baseline.2

*This represents the middle 50% (Q1, Q3). 25% of the data fall below Q1 and 25% of the data lie above Q3.3

AASLD Practice Guidance: Patient Identification for Rezdiffra

The latest guidance from AASLD recommends Rezdiffra for appropriate patients with noncirrhotic MASH with moderate to advanced fibrosis.4,†

Rezdiffra recommended

Rezdiffra recommended

Imaging-based NILDA:

  • VCTE: LSM 8 kPa-15 kPa
  • MRE: LSM 3.1 kPa-4.4 kPa

Liver histology:

  • MASH with F2-F3§

Rezdiffra
may be used

Rezdiffra
may be used

Individualized decisions by a specialist experienced in liver fibrosis for:

  • LSM values outside the recommended ranges
  • Other NILDA data consistent with F2-F3||

Rezdiffra is
not recommended

Rezdiffra is
not recommended

  • Cirrhosis, including LSM via VCTE >20 kPa or MRE >5 kPa
  • Concomitant active liver disease
  • Excessive alcohol use (>20/30 g/d in women/men)
  • Active thyroid disease
There are no FDA-approved noninvasive tests to diagnose MASH with fibrosis stage F2-F3 or to monitor response to pharmacotherapy.
Adapted from Figure 1 in the AASLD Practice Guidance: October 2024 Updates.
Modified from the AASLD NILDA guidelines.5
§Liver biopsy is not routinely recommended for staging of MASH.4
||Imaging-based NILDA is preferred, eg, shear wave elastography (applying local standards for F2-F3), versus enhanced liver fibrosis score (9.2-10.4). The latter range is based on the interquartile range from the MAESTRO trial data; no recommendations are available from the AASLD NILDA guidelines.1,6
Persons with active hyperthyroidism or untreated hypothyroidism (ie, TSH >10 mIU/L without symptoms, or TSH >7 mIU/L with symptoms) were excluded from the MAESTRO-NASH study.4

Rezdiffra delivered statistically significant results for both primary endpoints in MAESTRO-NASH2
