Surfing the MASH Tsunami continues its coverage of the AASLD Emerging Trends Conference on MASLD, MetALD and ALD.
This week, the panelists focus on what studies on bariatric surgery and drugs in development can tell us about future treatment and explore some clinical trial questions. Guest Surfers include Professor Aleksander Krag of the University of Southern Denmark, the current Secretary-General of EALS, hepatologist Alexander Lalos of Robert Wood Johnson hospital, and Jenn Leigh Jones, founder of the Society for Sober Livers Survival, now part of the Fatty Liver Foundation.
Aleksander Krag starts by discussing a presentation on what we can learn from bariatric surgery in terms of fibrosis reduction and why pharmacotherapies work (or not). He envisions a day where we have multiple treatment options and understanding how each works for specific types of patients, leading to robust, cost-effective, patient-specific treatment algorithms.
Alex Lalos describes how presentations on FGF-21s in advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis have whetted his appetite and Jenn Jones asks questions regarding ALD patient trial selection and assignment and clinical endpoints for cirrhosis trials.
