Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis: KOL Insight
Why This Report is Essential
Expect a revolution in the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) as a number of new therapies compete to become the first approved treatment for a disease that has high unmet clinical need. Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis: KOL Insight reveals the critical views of US and European KOLs whose insights hold key lessons for pharma. Gain insights on products in the pipeline and how they could revolutionise the treatment algorithm.
Among the pipeline products analysed in this report is Intercept's/Dainippon Sumitomo Pharm's FXR agonist, obeticholic acid, Genfit's PPAR alpha/delta agonist, GFT505 and Gilead's Simutuzumab. Others vying for market voice include Tobira Therapeutics's dual CCR2/CCR5 antagonist, cenicriviroc (TBR-652) and in the paediatric sector, Raptor Pharmaceuticals' delayed-release cysteamine bitartrate.
The upcoming products vary in their effectiveness in resolving the steatohepatitis and controlling fibrosis associated with NASH. Combination therapy is likely to shape the treatment paradigm in the future, as none offer a single solution.
Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis: KOL Insight gives exclusive insights on what leading NASH specialists think about the emerging clinical benefits and disadvantages of key pipeline programmes and what will influence prescribing decisions. In addition, specialists voice their opinions on optimal clinical trial designs, including endpoint selection, which could help clarify future treatment decisions.
