Nearly 60% of patients with biopsy-confirmed nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and liver fibrosis reported NASH resolution following treatment with semaglutide, suggested a phase 2, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial.

There were no significant between-group differences in the secondary endpoint (improvement of fibrosis by at least one stage without worsening of NASH), which was evident in 43% of patients on the highest semaglutide dose compared to 33% in the placebo group (OR, 1.42; P= .48). The findings are published in the New England Journal of Medicine and were presented at the 2020 American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) meeting… (Medscape)
