A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Pegozafermin in Participants With Compensated Cirrhosis Due to MASH

The study will assess the efficacy and safety of pegozafermin administered in participants with compensated cirrhosis due to MASH (biopsy-confirmed fibrosis stage F4 MASH [previously known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, NASH]).

🧠 AI SUMMARY Key Clinical Points — generated by Claude AI
Key Clinical Points
Treatment being tested: Pegozafermin, a novel fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) analogue, is being evaluated for efficacy and safety in patients with compensated cirrhosis (F4 fibrosis) secondary to metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MASH).
Patient eligibility overview: The trial includes adults with biopsy-confirmed stage F4 MASH cirrhosis who maintain compensated liver function, excluding those with decompensated disease, hepatocellular carcinoma, or significant hepatic impairment.
Clinical significance: This addresses a critical unmet need in MASH management, as no approved therapies currently reverse cirrhosis; demonstrating efficacy could prevent disease progression to decompensation, liver failure, and transplantation in this increasingly prevalent patient population.
