Stephen Harrison, Mazen Noureddin, Jörn Schattenberg, Louise Campbell and Roger Green unpack compelling drug development stories from this month’s EASL Congress and ADA meetings. The session explores a range of topics around the subject of drug development, including notes on orals versus injectables, diabetes medications with potential in the NASH space, new clinical trial data, different drug classes and much more.

S4-33.5 - From the Vault: ILC 2022 Looking Back: NASH Is a Complex Disease

S4-33.5 – From the Vault: ILC 2022 Looking Back: NASH Is a Complex Disease

Last year, roughly 5,000 liver community stakeholders gathered in London for the 2022 International Liver Congress (#ILC2022,) the first major hepatology Congress to be held in person since the start of the pandemic (smaller, but very valuable meetings like NASH-TAG, LiverCONNECT and Paris NASH have taken place with an in-person component, but the International Liver Congress and The Liver Meeting have not). This conversation From the Vault revisits still relevant takeaways as the podcast continues its coverage of emerging stories from EASL Congress 2023.

S4-33.4 - More Presentation Insights on Frequency of Testing, NITs and Biopsy

S4-33.4 – More Presentation Insights on Frequency of Testing, NITs and Biopsy

Sven Francque and Ian Rowe join Jörn Schattenberg and Roger Green to discuss critical and/or compelling presentations and insights from the recently concluded EASL Congress in Vienna. This final session focuses on another paper by Vincent Wong which sparks discussion around the plausibility of shifting from biopsy to NITs and the cost effectiveness and frequency of testing.

S4-33.3 - Steatotic Liver Disease, HCC and Mechanisms of Fibrosis Resolution

S4-33.3 – Steatotic Liver Disease, HCC and Mechanisms of Fibrosis Resolution

Sven Francque and Ian Rowe join Jörn Schattenberg and Roger Green to discuss critical and/or compelling presentations and insights from the recently concluded EASL Congress in Vienna. This session focuses on a study aimed at connecting steatotic liver disease in patients without cirrhosis to HCC outcomes over a ten year period. After, the group unpacks how little is known about the mechanisms of fibrosis resolution.
