The FDA approves Resmetirom for treatment of NASH

BOISE, ID – MARCH 14, 2024 – The Fatty Liver Foundation (FLF) heralds a significant milestone in the field of liver health with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of REZDIFFRA™ (resmetirom), developed by Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), formerly known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). This landmark approval paves the way for the first-ever medication for adults with fibrosis stage 2 or 3 due to MASH, marking a watershed moment in the pursuit of effective treatments. REZDIFFRA™ has been recognized by the FDA through breakthrough therapy and priority review designations for this crucial indication.

Below is a link to our press release.  We will publish more information in coming days but this is a great day for NASH patients.
