Send us Fan MailThis week on Surfing NASH, co-hosts Jörn Schattenberg and Roger Green review the recently concluded Liver Forum. Joining discussion are Liver Forum Executive Director Veronica Miller and speakers Mazen Noureddin (Houston Research Institute), Michelle Long (Novo Nordisk) and Jeff McIntyre (Global Liver Institute).In this final conversation, Roger prompts the group to share additional takeaways from the meeting that they feel would be valuable for the audience to review in the published slides. Michelle shares that the meeting strongly made clear the importance of collaborative thought and grappling with different perspectives while guided by patient needs. Jeff states that while it’s easy for the community to become self-congratulatory on the precipice of a first drug approval, he saw how approvals will morph and magnify challenges, particularly in terms of clinical trials going forward. Roger highlights how the meeting reframed for him the narrative around patient journey. Lastly, Veronica voices her appreciation for all forms of feedback which will help the Forum “push the science, push the thinking, and push the innovation to make things happen.” If you enjoy the episode, have questions or interest around its contents and Fatty Liver disease, we kindly ask that you submit reviews wherever you download our discussions.
