Pemvidutide Demonstrates Robust MASH Resolution in IMPACT Phase 2b Trial: Clinical Implications of Dual GLP-1/Glucagon Agonism

The 24-week results of the IMPACT trial show that pemvidutide significantly improves MASH resolution without worsening fibrosis. While fibrosis improvement did not reach significance at this early time point, the drug's safety profile and metabolic efficacy mark a significant step forward in hepatology.

Pemvidutide Produces Rapid Reductions in Liver Fat and AI‑Quantified Fibrosis in Early Phase Trials — Promise and Unanswered Questions

Pemvidutide, a dual GLP‑1/glucagon receptor agonist, reduced liver fat markedly and produced small but statistically significant reductions in AI‑quantified fibrosis over 24 weeks in phase 2 studies, but longer trials with clinical endpoints are needed to establish meaningful benefit.
