Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), also known as fatty liver disease, is a chronic liver condition that affects nearly 1 in 3 people worldwide. It is closely linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Unchecked, it can progress to a more severe form of disease called Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH). Prognosticating the risk of disease progression in MASLD and MASH has traditionally involved liver biopsy, a process that involves removing a tissue sample with a hollow needle and then examining the sample under a microscope to diagnose and stage disease. However, biopsy has many limitations. Additionally, drug development for MASLD and MASH has proceeded slowly in part due to a reliance on liver biopsy to determine drug efficacy.Recently, increasing evidence is suggesting that non-invasive options, for example, imaging examinations along with blood tests that assess likelihood of disease progression such as the Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) Test, may effectively reduce the need for the more invasive alternative. Key experts in MASLD and MASH share their perspectives about how clinical evidence supports a shift in the way patients with MASLD and MASH could be evaluated in clinical practice and in research.Host Matt Gee, Director of Collaborations and External Engagement at Siemens Healthineers, is joined by Prof. William Rosenberg, Deputy Director of the Institute for Liver and Digestive Health at University College London as well as Dr. Veronica Miller, Director of the Forum for Collaborative Research at the University of California, Berkeley School of Public Health; Dr. Arun Sanyal, Professor of Medicine, Physiology, and Molecular Pathology in the Division of Gastroenterology at Virginia Commonwealth University; and Dr. Michelle Long, International Medical Vice President of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis at Novo Nordisk and Associate Professor in the Section of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Boston University.What you'll learn in this episode:Liver biopsy creates several obstacles for patients and has limitationsDrug development faces challenges by the reliance on biopsy as a measure of treatment effectivenessNon-invasive tools may be suitable alternatives to liver biopsy both in clinical practice and in drug developmentConnect with Matt GeeLinkedIn Connect with Veronica MillerLinkedInConnect with William RosenbergLinkedInConnect with Michelle LongLinkedInConnect with Arun SanyalVCU.edu Hosted on Acast.

A reversible liver condition is the fastest growing cause of liver transplantation in Western countries: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease—or MASLD—affects patients worldwide. It's characterized by excessive fat accumulation in the liver and can progress into more severe forms of liver disease, potentially resulting in fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver failure.Risk factors for developing liver disease include obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Genetics, unhealthy dietary habits, and a sedentary lifestyle can also play significant roles in its development. Diagnosis typically involves imaging examinations along with blood tests that assess liver function and rule out other causes of liver disease.Disease management focuses on lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise, though new medications are now being prescribed to slow and potentially reverse this condition. Regular monitoring of disease progression is also crucial for successful treatment.In this episode, experts in the field of liver disease address the progress happening in the recognition, diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Host Matt Gee, Director of Collaborations and External Engagement at Siemens Healthineers, is joined by Dr. Michelle Long, International Medical Vice President of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis at Novo Nordisk and Director of Clinical Research for the Section of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Boston University; Dr. Arun Sanyal, Professor of Medicine, Physiology, and Molecular Pathology in the Division of Gastroenterology at Virginia Commonwealth University; and Michael Betel, President and Founder of the Fatty Liver Alliance.What you'll learn in this episode:One of the biggest obstacles to diagnosing MASLD before it progresses stems from the lack of visibility and awareness of the diseaseMASLD is a reversible disease when caught in timeMASLD is more complex than a patient's diet or lifestyle—metabolic dysfunction plays a role Non-invasive testing has become an important tool in advancing patient careConnect with Matt GeeLinkedIn Connect with Michelle LongLinkedInConnect with Arun SanyalVCU.eduConnect with Michael BetelLinkedIn Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Naim Alkhouri, Mike Betel, Michelle Long and Jeff McIntyre join Jörn Schattenberg and Roger Green to look back at The Liver Meeting 2024. This conversation reviews two sessions promoting healthy livers and asks panelists what they anticipate for #TLM2025. This last conversation starts with Jeff describing the session that moved him most and praising a panel that Mike co-chaired on Lifestyle Management of MASLD and MASH. Jeff spoke on this panel, and he describes the breadth and quality of speakers and topics. While Jeff spoke about social determinants of health, others discussed commercial, regulatory and lifestyle determinants, all intermixed with practical advice on managing patients' lifestyle issues. Finally, he comments on a presentation from Meena Bansal discussing several concurrent posters in the meeting that aligned with the discussion in the session.  After Jeff shares the content of the meeting, he comments on the large number of providers and industry executives who attended this patient-centered session. Roger notes a similar distribution of attendees at the Health Livers, Healthy Lives session on building momentum for prevention. In wrapping up the session, Roger does not share another presentation but notes how many modes of action have produced successful Phase 2/3 trial results. He notes that we may have 4-5 different modes of action available five years from now. In the rest of the session, panelists describe what they believe will be different and exciting at #TLM2025. Answers vary, but most focus on advances in drug development and/or NITs.

In this episode, Naim Alkhouri, Mike Betel, Michelle Long and Jeff McIntyre join Jörn Schattenberg and Roger Green to look back at The Liver Meeting 2024. This conversation considers the role of patient advocacy in replacing biopsy in clinical trials with NITs and reviews a session on the foundational principles for patien-centric clinical trials. This conversation picks up at the end of Michelle's discussion of the FDA Corner session. Jeff starts by identifying this specific issue - replacing biopsy in clinical trials with NITs - as a place topic on which he believes patients must play a pivotal role in this discussion. He notes that patient advocacy has been involved already but anticipates this role will grow as the discussion progresses. After Michelle agrees how vital this issue is for patients and notes that manufacturers are "taking on this increased workload" for that reason, Jeff shares what he considers the key issue: FDA is not only a scientific agency but also a political one, and patients can serve as the "tip of the spear" toward political ends here. Mike describes a poster he presented (and was lead co-author), titled Patient Voice in MASH Initiatives:  Foundational Principles for the Conduct of Patient-Centric MASH Research. He lists the groups participating in this broad effort and describes the goal as "reimagin[ing] clinical trials for MASH and how they're designed and delivered... focusing on what matters the most for patients." The outcomes were a set of patient-centric principles:Transparency in explaining trial-related issues. Mike gave the example of placebos, how they are used, and what happens to a patient in the placebo cohort at the end of the trial."Whole person focus," including not only the medical issues but also emotional and practical issues that can emerge throughout the trial as patients' needs and life situations change."Patients as partners," treating them as collaborators instead of subjects.Family and caregiver awareness, noting how deeply involved family members are through the trial process.Responsiveness to patient needs through surveys and checkpoints throughout the process.Mike closed his comments by stating that all these points "put the patient at the center of the process," which meant considering not only diversity and inclusiveness in the trial population but also knowing and acting on what diversity will be in the context of these five principles.Speaking from their perspectives as researchers, Michelle and Jörn were both highly supportive of the principles (Michelle called them "fantastic.") Jörn noted that the entire trial process starts with patient-centricity since the research is inherently designed to benefit patients.

In this episode, Naim Alkhouri, Mike Betel, Michelle Long and Jeff McIntyre join Jörn Schattenberg and Roger Green to look back at The Liver Meeting 2024. This conversation reviews the ESSENCE trial, the Phase 3 trial demonstrating that semaglutide regresses fibrosis levels in some MASH patients.  The conversation begins with each panelist sharing a word or short phrase they felt best captured their feelings about TLM2024. Next, panelists review the meeting's most consequential paper, the ESSENCE Trial. Naim starts by describing ESSENCE, a Phase 3 trial with semaglutide demonstrating significant levels of fibrosis regression in non-cirrhotic MASH patients. Jörn adds the hopeful note that NITs performed as well as or better than biopsy in this trial, which he hopes will speed the transition in diagnostic approaches and tools. Jeff and Mike agree that from the patient's perspective, ESSENCE will be seen as a milestone in MASH therapy: the proof that a second drug can succeed in MASH. As the conversation ends, Roger notes that approval of a second agent for a particular disease often leads to dramatic growth in overall drug treatment by changing the pivotal question from whether to treat with a drug to which choice to prescribe. 

In this episode, Naim Alkhouri, Mike Betel, Michelle Long and Jeff McIntyre join Jörn Schattenberg and Roger Green to look back at The Liver Meeting 2024. This conversation considers how the anticipated approval of a second MASH drug without biopsy might affect clinical trials and discusses two recent publications on patient genotyping and patient clusters. The conversation starts with Roger asking the group whether the presence of two approved MASH medications that do not require biopsy will make recruiting clinical trials that require them more challenging. The group doubts this will not add a significant new challenge to already-challenging trial recruitment. Naim comments that while this is a concern, it is already factored into trial schedules and that, given the number of patients available for trial, this should be highly manageable. Michelle discusses the importance of risk stratification in overall trial enrollment and this issue. Jeff and Mike agree that while this is a concern, it is part of a broader concern about the use of biopsy and should not in itself be a primary focus in terms of trial design at this point in time. Naim introduces two other topics he considers worthy of consideration: the impact of synergy between resmetirom and GLP-1 agonists and the importance of different genetic polymorphisms in predicting the impact of drugs on specific patients. On synergy, he comments that MAESTRO-NASH data suggests that the presence of a GLP-1 does not affect the impact of resmetirom on fibrosis level. On the second point, he notes that several papers looked at major genotypes like PNPLA3 and HD17N13 and specifically cites a late-breaker from Arun Sanyal indicating that g-allele status may impact MASH independent of weight or insulin. Michelle mentions a recent paper in Nature identifying distinct clusters of patients based on how their SLDs progress over time, with a two-cluster solution indicating patients with concomitant diabetes and obesity vs. those without these two concomitant diseases. Roger shares a key point from each paper on treatment in the US. Data in the PNPLA3 paper might suggest that the course of disease in Hispanics, who have high levels of g-allele abnormalities, might be different from other ethnic groups with far lower abnormality rates. He also notes that the faster disease progression in the non-metabolic cluster highlights the importance of learning more about Lean MASH and how to treat it, since faster progression of disease suggests later diagnosis and higher morbidity, mortality and treatment costs levels.

In this episode, Naim Alkhouri, Mike Betel, Michelle Long and Jeff McIntyre join Jörn Schattenberg and Roger Green to look back at The Liver Meeting 2024. This conversation reviews the late-breaker presentation on efimosermin, a q4w FGF-21 agent and the "FDA Corner" session. Jörn begins the discussion by highlighting a paper from the later breaker session on efimosfermin alfa, an FGF-21 agent dosed q4w. He notes that after only six doses (24 weeks), efimosfermin alfa demonstrated significant increases in fibrosis regression and lowering NAS score. To Jörn, this result, coupled with others on efruxifermin and pegozafermin, suggest that FGF-21s are likely to play a significant role in MASH therapy once approved. After Roger and Mike note their enthusiasm about the drug class and this study, Jörn mentions a study with 96-week efruxifermin that data demonstrates prolonged efficacy. As he points out, this matters because while studies of an earlier FGF-21 candidate suggested that antibodies might develop in FGF-21 therapy, that does not appear to be an issue here. Mike asks the group why they feel placebo performs so well in clinical trials. Jörn suggests that working with a compassionate clinical care team in dealing with the patient leads to better performance on diet and exercise and, as a result, increased placebo response to what we might find in general community practice.Michelle praises the FDA Corner session, particularly the agency's transparency and willingness to engage industry and academia in finding paths to move away from biopsy. She also notes some of the practical challenges inherent of moving away from biopsy using data from earlier trials with an outmoded histology reader setup. She is optimistic about the scientific community coming together to address these issues. Jeff praises the agency for an "amazing" session.

This final conversation from SurfingMASH's EASL Congress 2024 preview includes two final papers, one covering MASLD drug development, and a diverse set of answers to Roger Green's closing question. Jörn Schattenberg discusses a paper he will present on a completely new concept to treat MASLD, a Phase 2a trial of a transglutaminase inhibitor, a compound originally developed for Celiac disease. Aleksander Krag describes as "exciting" the idea that this concept came from Celiac disease. Michelle Long discusses a late-breaker abstract, which means it is embargoed, and she cannot share many details. This is another "really good use" of a big data set, in this case data from an array of Novo Nordisk trials.With all the abstracts presented, Roger Green observes that this is the first major Congress preview SurfingMASH has done where the discussion focused on anything other than drug development, in this case, data development. Roger asks for a "big picture" lesson each panelist will leave Milano with. Michelle notes that while she likes Roger's comment about focus, she views Big Data development as driving a new, broader phase of drug development. The group agrees.Beyond that, the panelists' closing comments vary in scope and focus but share themes that have emerged throughout the 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.

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.

Surfing the MASH Tsunami continues its 2023 wrap-up conversations with Novo Nordisk International Medical Vice President Michelle Long, along with co-hosts Louise Campbell and Roger Green. The conversation focuses on advances in research, collaboration and insight creation the entire MASLD research community has made in 2023 and what this new perspective portends for the future of MASLD research.Michelle starts by using the word "momentum" to characterize the MASLD research community in 2023. She says the pace of change makes it impossible to summarize or describe the year easily, For example, the adoption of new nomenclature came six months ago at EASL, but it feels like it was far longer than that. Roger compares the optimism in the field to 2019 while awaiting what was the anticipated approval of OCA. Today, he notes,  the entire community understands so much more about MASLD and has so much more confidence in resmetirom than in OCA that we see optimism about future drug developments along with a greater appreciation of the potential scale of the global crisis around MASLD. Michelle comments that in the aftermath of OCA, the scientific community has been "willing to adapt and eat humble pie." Today, we see proposals for future studies that demonstrate how fast researchers are adopting new knowledge and using it in new study designs. In particular, she notes that the year's FDA workshop showcased a shift in drug development strategies and a deeper understanding of surrogate endpoints, reflecting a desire within the field to embrace new insights for advancement.Louise adds to the dialogue by discussing the swift adoption of new terminology and the integration of noninvasive diagnostic technologies, emphasizing the patient's perspective and the importance of comprehensible communication about their health condition. She advocates for broader inclusivity in future Delphi processes, specifically seeking greater involvement for nurses and allied health professionals, groups that provide line communication with patient communities. Roger notes a newfound humility within the academic medical community that promotes collaboration and ongoing improvement. Michelle agrees, stressing the need to dismantle barriers such as pride and the critical role of cross-sector collaboration in addressing the field's unmet needs and the lack of approved therapies. She designates 2023 as a turning point, with a shift toward a more open, conservative, and cooperative mindset in the scientific community, departing from previous attitudes.The discussion moves to the intricacies of interpreting histology data from clinical trials, where Michelle points out the importance of a nuanced understanding of such data, including the timing of biopsies and the correlation with noninvasive testing results.As an example of the new nuances, Roger cites bariatric data shared at EASL suggesting that it takes five years for the liver fat reduction associated with bariatric surgery to translate into a one-level regression of fibrosis and a HistoIndex study suggesting a consistent "true" placebo rate of 34%, which is far higher than we see in drug studies.   Michelle acknowledges that aligning the ideal scientific method with business realities is a pivotal, realistic challenge. The group concludes with predictions for 2024, expecting significant advancements, possibly including new therapy approvals. Despite potential obstacles, there is a shared optimism for rapid progress and enhanced collaboration in hepatology research and clinical practice.

This week, SurfingNASH offers an episode comprising two seperate interviews which focus on stories around career trajectories, transitions and entrepreneurship. Host Roger Green talks with Rachel Zayas (AGED Diagnostics) and Michelle Long (Novo Nordisk) about their unique stories and creating new opportunities amidst a field with broadening but sometimes opaque horizons. These discussions will be very informative for those who may be wondering about what's on the other side, whether it be commercial medicine or academia. Surf on to learn more as Rachel and Michelle expand on bridging these gaps, managing challenges and their excitement for new ways forward.This conversation features the first part of our interview with Novo Nordisk International Medical Vice President, Michelle Long. The discussion focuses on the process by which Michelle came to leave academia and transition to corporate life. Along the way, she covers the importance of mentorship as well as deeply understanding what an individual finds exciting about a career in academia and, more specifically in Michelle's case, academic research.

Surfing NASH delivered an additional wrap-up session on-site in Vienna as a part of its real-time coverage of a truly thought-provoking EASL Congress 2023. This is the first of four conversations held after the Saturday late breakers with key opinion leaders Hannes Hagström and Michelle Long, entrepreneur and epigenetics advocate Rachel Zayas and patient advocates Jeff McIntyre and Michael Betel. Roger Green asks each panelist to share a word or short phrase that captures their feelings about the event. The answers from this session differ from those in response to the same question in the preceding episode 29, even from both Michael and Roger who are a part of both sessions. From here the group goes on to explore some implications of the new nomenclature rollout that occurred that morning. For a variety of reasons, EASL Congress 2023 has been looked forward to by the liver community with arguably an unprecedented sense of excitement and intensity. The conversations resulting from the podcast's two real-time reviews suggest that the actual event met or exceeded such high expectations.

Surfing NASH delivered a second wrap-up session on-site in Vienna as a part of its real-time coverage of a truly thought-provoking EASL Congress 2023. This conversation held after the Saturday late breakers features key opinion leaders Hannes Hagström and Michelle Long, entrepreneur and epigenetics advocate Rachel Zayas and patient advocates Jeff McIntyre and Michael Betel alongside host Roger Green. The discussion picks up on the topic of the announced MAESTRO-NASH Phase 3 results and the panelists' various reactions. This subject quickly beckons  questions around the scoring systems used to evaluate NASH and specifically some shortcomings within the NASH CRN system. The group also anticipates the role that resmetirom will play in both the short and long term and the implications of superior patient support in both arms of the randomized clinical trials and how well the drug will be perceived to work in the treating community.For a variety of reasons, EASL Congress 2023 has been looked forward to by the liver community with arguably an unprecedented sense of excitement and intensity.

This conversation held after the Saturday late breakers features key opinion leaders Hannes Hagström and Michelle Long, entrepreneur and epigenetics advocate Rachel Zayas and patient advocates Jeff McIntyre and Michael Betel alongside host Roger Green.This conversation starts with Roger asking each panelist to mention a poster or presentation that was particularly compelling or valuable. As befits the group, the panelist ultimately chose a wide range of topics. This includes thoughts around ways in which to evaluate NITs and deciding who and when to treat, data on the FGF-21 agent pegozafermin, the impact of RNA defects on disease and treatment and much more. As the conversation winds down, Roger suggests that there can be confusions around articifical intelligence (AI) as a term as it is applied to a myriad of technologies. For a variety of reasons, EASL Congress 2023 has been looked forward to by the liver community with arguably an unprecedented sense of excitement and intensity.

This conversation held after the Saturday late breakers features key opinion leaders Hannes Hagström and Michelle Long, entrepreneur and epigenetics advocate Rachel Zayas and patient advocates Jeff McIntyre and Michael Betel alongside host Roger Green.This conversation covers a few interesting moments from the conference, starting with the appearance of Tetiana Deshko to speak about the gruesome realities of public health care in Ukraine during the invasion. From there, Jeff talks about a broader issue of how we support funding of treatments in parts of the world that lack hepatologists or adequate resources. The group also discusses the idea that Predictive Health Intelligence in the UK has begun to improve patient screening dramatically with a simple, non AI-based data analysis methodology that could likely be applied in a variety of regions. Michael comments on the session where the question arose whether physicians should inform patients about having fatty liver disease before drug therapies were available to treat it. Spoiler alert: the patient advocate answer is an emphatic yes! Finally, Roger's closing question asks the group about what they learned in the meeting that will change their work going forward.For a variety of reasons, EASL Congress 2023 has been looked forward to by the liver community with arguably an unprecedented sense of excitement and intensity.
