Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a progressive liver disease with no approved treatment. MAESTRO-NAFLD-1 was a 52-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial evaluating the safety of resmetirom in adults with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and presumed NASH. Patients were randomized to three double-blind arms (100 mg resmetirom (n = 325), 80 mg resmetirom (n = 327) or placebo (n = 320)) or open-label 100 mg resmetirom (n = 171). The primary end point was incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) over 52 weeks and key secondary end points were LDL-C, apoB, triglycerides (over 24 weeks), hepatic fat (over 16 and 52 weeks) and liver stiffness (over 52 weeks). Resmetirom was safe and well tolerated. TEAEs occurred in 86.5% (open-label 100 mg resmetirom), 86.1% (100 mg resmetirom), 88.4% (80 mg resmetirom) and 81.8% (placebo) of patients. TEAEs in excess of placebo included diarrhea and nausea at the initiation of treatment. Key secondary end points included least square means difference from placebo at 80 mg, 100 mg resmetirom: LDL-C (-11.1%, -12.6%), apoB (-15.6%, -18.0%), triglycerides (-15.4%, -20.4%), 16-week hepatic fat (-34.9%, -38.6%), (P < 0.0001) and liver stiffness (-1.02, -1.70) and 52-week hepatic fat (-28.8, -33.9). These findings demonstrate resmetirom was safe and well tolerated in adults with presumed NASH, supporting a role for further clinical development. (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT04197479 ).
