This week's Expert is Jeff McIntyre, Vice President, Liver Programs at the Global Liver Institute. His major topic is how recent high-level FDA job cuts might affect MASH drug and diagnostics development. He also shares reactions to FibroSIGHT, HistoIndex's new digital pathology service for clinical practice. Highlight: Recent job cuts at the FDA will produce chaos in government and slow response to any emerging crises.Second Highlight: Patient self-advocacy becomes even more important in this environment.The conversation takes place on April 1, which lends context to Jeff's opening comment about the rate and nature of change in Washington, DC. He and Roger quickly focus on high-level job cuts at the FDA. Jeff believes that the clearest outcome from these changes is that the government will be less able to respond promptly and in a medically appropriate manner to future health crises. Jeff agrees with former FDA Commissioner Rob Califf's comment that the FDA as we know it "is dead," and that we have little idea what the future holds. A slower-moving, more chaotic government with a Secretary of HHS who minimizes pharmacotherapies for alternative therapies presents a challenge for all SLD patients. Jeff states that patients need to become more vigilant self-advocates (even more than they are today). He also identifies patient advocacy organizations like GLI as a place patients can go to seek the guidance and support they need from patient advocates. Finally, the conversation turns to discuss FibroSIGHT. Jeff describes FibroSIGHT as "exactly where we should be and should not be at the same time," a technology that takes a significant step forward in understanding and patient support, but one that ties us to biopsy as a standard for clinical care. Jeff and Roger agree this issue will play out over the coming years. 

This week's newsmaker, Yukti Choudhury, Director of Clinical Development at HistoIndex, joins Roger Green to discuss FibroSIGHT, a new HistoIndex service that allows clinicians to use HistoIndex's Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) technology and analytics to determine specific CRN fibrosis level for patients with inconclusive NIT results.  One reason FibroSIGHT is worthy of attention: This is the first time an in-depth analysis of clinical trial biopsy results is being placed at the service of clinical treatment. Another reason: Yukti states that demand for this technique could equal 163,000 cases this year, rising to one million by 2028. The interview starts with Yukti sharing information on her own academic and commercial background and how she came to this role. She describes FibroSIGHT, a service that will provide a highly accurate CRN fibrosis level for patients whose NIT results suggest no clear or consistent finding. Yukti provides practical cues on ordering the test and its reimbursement. Roger shares his long-standing respect for SHG and the clarity it produces. He notes the economic benefit of determining whether a patient has F2 fibrosis, which is indicated for pharmacotherapy, vs.F1, which is not indicated. He sees clear benefit in this analysis. Roger goes on to express concern that any option requiring more biopsies will reduce the number of patients treated, particularly if having this tool encourages payers to require a biopsy as a prerequisite to treatment. He asks whether, over time, HistoIndex might be able to develop a companion analytic to improve these estimates without requiring biopsy.
