ACTIVITY OVERVIEW – Mitigating disease progression in MASH has been challenging due to a lack of disease-specific therapies. With FDA approval of the first MASH-specific therapy, and several other agents in advanced stages of development comes, a new era of disease management. This activity will explore the mechanism of action and efficacy of these novel therapies, including thyroid hormone receptor-β (THR-β) agonists, along with data on late-stage investigational therapies. Experts will also focus on case-based scenarios that discuss considerations for disease staging and assessment through non-invasive tests to ensure pharmacological management is tailored to the individual needs of each patient.

TARGET AUDIENCE – This initiative is intended for hepatology and gastroenterology healthcare providers, as well as other specialty clinicians involved in the management of patients with MASLD/MASH.

AGENDA

• Welcome
• Screening – Are we doing enough?
• Data Update and Real-World Experience With Approved Therapies
• Real-World Cases
• Q&A and Closing Remarks

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon successful completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

• Describe the mechanistic and clinical rationale for THR-b agonists as a means of treating MASLD/MASH
• Evaluate the evidence on THR-b agonists, and other disease-specific therapy classes, considering efficacy, safety/tolerability, and PROs
• Identify best practices for facilitating and documenting an accurate, non-invasive, and timely diagnosis of MASLD/MASH to support access to disease-specific therapy
• Develop guideline-aligned management paradigms for MASLD/MASH that incorporate pharmacotherapy tailored to individual clinical scenarios
