Future Treatment Options and Regimens for Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Clin Liver Dis. 2023 May;27(2):429-449. doi: 10.1016/j.cld.2023.01.010.Epub 2023 Feb 26.
Recent progress in our understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms that drive progression of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis as well as lessons learned from several clinical trials that have been conducted over the past 15 years guide our current regulatory framework and trial design. Targeting the metabolic drivers should probably be the backbone of therapy in most of the patients, with some requiring more specific intrahepatic antiinflammatory and antifibrotic actions to achieve success. New and innovative targets and approaches as well as combination therapies are currently explored, while awaiting a better understanding of disease heterogeneity that should allow for future individualized medicine.
