Akero Therapeutics' drug, efruxifermin, demonstrated significant reduction in liver scarring after nearly two years in a mid-stage study for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) patients. The drug showed superior benefits compared to other treatments, with potential peak sales of $2-3 billion. Confirmation in a late-stage trial is required. NASH affects over 17 million Americans, with no approved drugs currently available.
