A Phase 2 double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate resmetirom in 2 cohorts of subjects with moderate to advanced fibrosis, consistent with stage F2 and F3 fibrosis, who have undergone liver transplant. Cohort 1 will consist of patients who have undergone liver transplant for MASH cirrhosis who developed recurrent MASH. Cohort 2 will consist of subjects who have undergone liver transplant for indications other than MASH cirrhosis who developed de novo MASH.
Phase 2 trials begin testing efficacy in a larger patient group (100–300). This is often where biotech binary events occur — positive Phase 2 data can significantly advance a company's pipeline narrative, while failures can be terminal for a program.
Enrollment is complete. The trial is in its follow-up or data collection phase — a readout may occur on or near the primary completion date.
Madrigal Pharmaceuticals (MDGL) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company C (54/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
