Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) Treatment Market - Pipeline Review, 2019

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a type of liver inflammation caused due to accumulation of fat in the liver. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) demonstrate very few or no symptoms at the initial stages. Some symptoms such as fatigue, weight loss, general weakness and ache in the upper right part of belly are observed at later stages. The exact cause of NASH is unknown, but some of the common causes include obesity, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol & triglycerides and metabolic syndrome.

Currently, there are no treatments available of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The first line of treatment is weight loss through a combination of a healthy diet and exercise. In February 2019, Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Inc., announced positive topline results from pivotal phase 3 regenerate study of obeticholic acid in patients with liver fibrosis due to NASH.

Pharmaceutical companies along with various research institutes have been focusing on studying and developing new treatment options for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) treatment. For instance, Seladelpar, which is being studied by CymaBay Therapeutics, Inc., is currently in phase-2 clinical trials for the study to evaluate seladelpar in subjects with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)

At present around 50% of the pipeline candidates for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) treatment are in the phase-1 and phase-2 stage. More than half of the studies are sponsored by industry.
