00:00:00 - Surf's Up: Season 5 Episode 25 On July 20, Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology released the paper, Expert Panel Recommendations: Practical Clinical Applications for Initiating and Monitoring Resmetirom in Patients with MASH/NASH and Moderate to non-cirrhotic Advanced Fibrosis. Corresponding author Maru Rinella joins the Surfers to share key points from the recommendations and offer her thoughts on what lay behind them.00:02:26 - Introduction and GroundbreakerThe highlight was Louise's groundbreaker: having become a full Fellow in the Roal College of Physicians.00:06:28 - Introducing the paperRoger starts by discussing the importance of this paper and listing the questions the panel will address during the episode. Maru provides a history of developing the paper. Jörn praises its timeliness. 00:08:59 - Treating the "Right" patients; Using the "Right" testsJörh asks why the authors changed the patient definition from a histological one to at-risk MASH patients confirmed by NITs. Maru said the authors sought to follow the FDA guidance on NITs and patient targets. They considered adding liver enzymes or confirmatory VCTE to the protocol, but demurred because not every clinical could execute such a recommendation. Jörn asks whether the authors considered requiring three metabolic risk factors. Roger notes that this question implies a need to prioritize patients, which is a factor in Europe but not the U.S. This paper takes a more U.S-based perspective, which is to set a threshold for use.  00:14:21 - The Decision Not to Discuss CostThe authors did not address costs because they anticipated steep reductions over time. The panel compares the MASH case to HCV. In HCV, the combination of high drug costs and large number of warehoused patients drove prioritization over time. 00:16:34 - Relative paucity of warehoused MASH patients Maru suggests relatively few MASH patients are warehoused. Louise asks whether many U.S. insurers are controlling access by requiring liver biopsy. Maru reports she has not encountered this personally and  estimates it might affect ~5% of cases so far. 00:19:05 - Rationale for Patient SelectionMaru explains the rationale for an F2 threshold for patient selection: patients with fibrosis >= F2 show a demonstrable decline in long-term survival. The rationale for excluding cirrhosis patients? Resmetirom is not yet proven to help patients with cirrhosis. Jörn notes, the MAESTRO-OUTCOMES trial is running and will generate consequential data on cirrhosis. 00:22:11 - Value of Stabilizing Disease without ImprovementMaru notes that the paper focused strongly on how to stabilize patients because the drug is safe and stabilization has real-world benefits.. She points out that patient advocates strongly recommend this focus. All this led to the paper's recommendation to discontinue only upon progression.  00:25:12 - The importance of incremental learningThe group agrees that these recommendations comprise a base that will be strengthened over time as individual providers gain experience with the drug. 00:30:06 - Wrapping upPanelists touch briefly on the value of loose discontinuation rules, how patients feel about starting therapy, how to handle drug interactions, and how the paper is used in the US vs. other countries. In closing, the group remembers Stephen Harrison's unique contributions one more time.00:37:55 - Question of the WeekWhich of the paper's two striking recommendations -- using multiple NITs to qualify patients and continuing therapy unless and until a patient shows signs of disease progression -- will have greater impact on how physicians treat patients?00:38:44 - Business ReportSummer schedules, value of the business report, the vault discussion.

This conversation starts and ends with thoughts from Michelle Long. Her first comment praises the expanded networking opportunities in the program, and her last comment focuses on the quality of the MASLD abstracts (really, all abstracts) and the importance of reviewing them in advance. Michelle starts by commenting on the networking sessions that EASL is sponsoring around the large consortia and other projects. "It really speaks to how... open this community is to exploring different ideas and getting people together." She notes that these sessions have particular value for two groups: people just getting into the field and those looking for a potential collaborator. Aleksander describes these sessions as helping to support the big consortia by tying them into the networking sessions. It also demonstrates the way that academia, companies and public funders align on pivotal projects.Roger comments that this is consistent with the generally high level of collegiality he sees in the hepatology community. In response, Aleksander states that the meeting will revisit EASL's mission and vision, which speaks to the many ways the organization can advance liver care.Roger asks Michelle what else she anticipates eagerly about the Congress. Her reply? "Don't sleep on the abstracts." She starts reviewing the abstract book and quickly highlights 75 of interest, and then states there are far more than just those 75 that have high-level value.  She notes that our fellow day Surfers, Aleksander, Hannes and Jörn, are authors of some of these. She describes the themes of linking and collaboration as coming through the abstracts. Finally, she recommends poster sessions as a place to dig into what lies behind the document for some pivotal pieces of research. Roger invites Michelle to choose one abstract from her 75 with Aleksander, Hannes and Jörn as authors so that the three can describe their work. The first abstract Michelle highlights has Aleksander as an author and is titled Longitudinal changes in liver stiffness measurements in a population-based screening cohort of 5,517 participants. Without revealing conclusions or interpretations, Aleksander describes the work his group did and then shifts focus to advocate that all listeners and attendees review abstracts extensively before coming to the meeting.The second abstract Michelle highlights has Hannes as an author and is titled The validation of the Baveno Rule of 5 in a real-life multicenter cohort of patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. Like Aleksander, Hannes does not share data, but discusses how valuable a multicenter cohort can be in answering pivotal questions as compared to single-sample studies, "which cannot be replicated elsewhere."

Next week, 7,000+ hepatology stakeholders will convene in Milano, Italy, to consume 2,000+ posters and presentations, including an extensive set of MASLD studies, at EASL Congress 2024. EASL Secretary General Aleksander Krag, Hannes Hagstrom, and Michelle Long join Jörn Schattenberg and Roger Green to preview the program.00:00:00 - Surf's Up: Season 5 Episode 17Standard lead-in, including quotes from panelists.00:02:40 - IntroductionRoger describes the structure of this episode.00:04:21 - Groundbreaker Good personal and professional news from the panelists. 00:08:04 - A 10,000m look at the EASL Congress 2024Aleksander discusses the preparation that has gone into this Congress, resulting in 2,000 accepted abstracts presented in  "almost 300 different types of sessions" from 450 faculty members. Many focus on the range of key MASLD issues.Hannes commends the design, which prominently positions young researchers. Michelle says the networking sessions that EASL is sponsoring around the large consortia and other projects " really speak to how open this community is to exploring different ideas and getting people together."00:21:01 - Michelle praises abstract quality and selects abstracts for colleagues to reviewMichelle advises, "Don't sleep on the abstracts;" she quickly highlighted 75 of interest.  She recommends poster sessions as a place to dig into what lies behind some pivotal pieces of research. Roger invites Michelle to choose one abstract from her 75 that have her fellow panelists as authors, so that the three can describe their work. Aleksander and Hannes both choose to describe the work their groups did on the various abstracts, but both describe methods and overall benefits. 00:26:41 - Jörn Schattenberg joins panelAs Hannes makes his statement, Jörn joins the podcast. He starts by discussing a panel  Hannes will chair on the future of hepatology at which Jörn's will focus on AI. Hannes shares his excitement about a session that looks to take a peak into the future.Jörn describes the abstract Michelle selects for him as a Big Data study of "real-world" U.S. patients, which he sees as having great benefit compared to looking at the patients he treats.  00:30:25 - Panelists each choose an abstract to discussRoger asks each panelist to discuss an abstract. Aleksander and Hannes each describe Big Data studies, but these are quite different. Aleksander's relies on massive computing power to analyze 12 levels of omics data for 900 patients,  while Hannes's two are based on 860,000 residents of Stockholm who received a liver test between 2010 and 2022. One study from Hannes demonstrated that five simple parameters proved far more accurate than FIB-4 in assessing risk. To MIchelle, "a risk-based view of this disease makes a lot of sense." Aleksander and Roger concur that such an approach will probably yield a far more efficient use of resources. Jörn discusses a drug development paper reporting on a Phase 2a trial of a transglutaminase inhibitor. Michelle mentions an embargoed late breaker abstract that she describes as a "really good use" of a big data set from an array of Novo Nordisk trials.00:48:31 - Closing comments and wrap-ups to discussRoger asks each panelist for a "big picture" lesson they will take from Milano. Closing comments from the panelists vary in scope and focus but share themes that have emerged throughout the discussion.00:54:55 - Question of the Week  This week's question of the week asks which sources of insight will drive the next generation of MASLD research.00:55:44 - Business Report  This week's news on how SurfingMASH will cover the EASL Congress, our new private community, some of its new features and a description of the vault episode.

FDA approval of the first MASH drug, Rezdiffra, on March 14 marked what co-host and Key Opinion Leader Jörn Schattenberg describes as a "watershed moment" for hepatology. This opening discussion covers how panelists heard the news of Rezdiffra's approval, how they reacted, and their initial thoughts about appropriate patient targets.As the conversation starts, the various panelists describe their moves throughout the day on March 14th and their reactions when word of the FDA's approval came. They all describe having felt various degrees of trepidation as the day progressed. Jeff McIntyre describes him and his friends as "constantly refreshing our screens" throughout the day. Zobair Younossi probably felt less anxiety than others, while some of the Europeans described feeling more. This was replaced by excitement and joy at the final announcement. Jörn Schattenberg describes the day as a "watershed moment," that, in Zobair's words, "energiz[ed] for the entire field." Panelists go on to describe the patients they expect to prescribe Rezdiffra for at launch (now for the US, whatever comes available on the EMR). Jörn intends to prescribe initially for F3 patients but realizes he might not know exactly how to distinguish them from early-stage cirrhosis. Zobair points to prescribing for F2 and F3 patients as indicated in the label.

Welcome to a transformative episode of The BariNation Podcast, a show dedicated to supporting individuals on their bariatric and weight loss journey. In this episode, we explore the pivotal topic of lifting the heavy burden of shame. We draw inspiration and insights from Dr. Eric Smith, the Director of the Kentucky Bariatric Institute and BariNation co-founders and hosts April Williams and Natalie Tierney. Dr. Brené Brown defines shame as “the intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and therefore unworthy of love and belonging—something we've experienced, done, or failed to do makes us unworthy of connection.” As patients, we have experienced this shame for years, if not decades, before our bariatric surgery. We often call this the “work of weight loss surgery,” and in this episode, Dr. Smith shares how has learned from the shame he has experienced in his own, personal life and helps his patients utilize those lessons.  Join us as we delve into the strategies employed by Dr. Eric Smith, April, and Natalie to lift the weight of shame. By fostering empathy and understanding, destigmatizing weight issues, promoting self-compassion, celebrating victories, sharing our shame and struggles with a trusted community, and redefining success, bariatric patients can navigate their transformative journey with resilience and pride. It is in a community like BariNation that you can begin to foster a sense of community and break the isolation that shame can breed.
