Abstract

The association between hypothyroidism and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is characterized by elevated plasma reverse T3 (RT3), low T3/RT3 ratio and deficient hepatic fat and cholesterol metabolism. Resmetirom (MGL-3196) is a liver-directed, oral selective thyroid hormone receptor-β agonist that reduces MRI-PDFF, fibrosis, atherogenic lipids and hepatic inflammation. MAESTRO-NAFLD is a 52-week randomized double-blind placebo-controlled phase 3 clinical trial to study the effect of resmetirom on non-invasive biomarkers and imaging (NCT04197479).
