On March 14, 2024, the US Food and Drug Administration granted accelerated approval to resmetirom (Rezdiffra) for noncirrhotic nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), now known as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), with moderate to advanced fibrosis, making it the first and only treatment to receive approval for the progressive liver disease.

The decision followed 18 clinical studies in the oral, thyroid hormone receptor (THR)-β selective agonist’s clinical development program: 12 phase 1 studies, a pair of phase 2 studies, and 4 phase 3 studies. MAESTRO-NASH is an ongoing phase 3, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, and is 1 of 4 phase 3 studies in resmetirom’s clinical development program supporting its approval in adult patients with NASH and fibrosis.
