Figure 5: Chemical shift–encoded (CSE) MRI enables simultaneous estimation of both liver fat and iron deposition. Fat-corrected R2* (R2* = 1/T2*) mapping is a natural byproduct of multi-echo CSE acquisitions used for R2*-corrected proton density fat fraction (PDFF) mapping. Shown are representative MRI scans in three patients with various fat and iron levels throughout the liver. Starekova J.

QW for 48 weeks Placebo Survodutide 2.4mg 4.8mg 6.0mg Summary: Phase 2 International Double-blind Randomized 1:1:1:1 MASH GI adverse effects GCG/GLP-1
Discussion I: Benefit of Dual GCG+GLP-1 In this phase 2 trial, Survodutide was associated with significant improvement in MASH with no worsening of fibrosis (P<0.001). Also benefit in fibrosis (34% vs. 22% placebo) Dual GCG + GLP- 1 agonist > Mono GLP-1 agonist for MASH Direct hepatic effect through glucagon receptor agonism + extrahepatic effects through GLP-1 receptor agonism. In a phase 2 trial, treatment with the GLP-1 receptor monoagonist Semaglutide resulted in MASH reduction but not fibrosis stage . The benefit of Survodutide with respect to fibrosis will need to be examined in future studies.
Discussion II: GCG+GLP-1 ratio Cotadutide , Dual GCG + GLP- 1 agonist: 1:5, improved the NAFLD fibrosis score and levels of ALT, AST A phase 2 trial of SAR425899, was halted owing to a high incidence of GI adverse events NNC9204-1177, Dual GCG + GLP- 1 agonist: 1:3 , was stopped owing to a dose-dependent increase in heart rate , a decrease in the reticulocyte count , and increased markers of inflammation . Survodutide , Dual GCG + GLP- 1 agonist: 1:8 . Our findings suggest that an appropriate ratio may achieve a beneficial effect of glucagon receptor–GLP-1 receptor dual agonism in patients with MASH, with a potentially acceptable adverse-event profile.
Discussion III: Survodutide Safety and limitations Adverse-Event Profile: Similar to previous phase 2 trial involving obesity. Common adverse events: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Discontinuation Rates: Survodutide : 20% V.S Placebo: 3%. Higher discontinuation during rapid dose-escalation . Suggest slower dose-escalation to mitigate discontinuation. Safety Issues: No unexpected safety issues identified. Trial Limitation: Majority of participants were White. May limit generalizability. Conclusion: Supports potential of Survodutide for MASH and liver fibrosis. Further investigation in phase 3 trials warranted.

Discussion III: The adverse-event profile of survodutide was similar to that in a previous phase 2 trial involving participants living with obesity, in which the most common adverse events were nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In our trial, the discontinuation of survodutide and placebo because of adverse events occurred in 20% and 3% of the participants, respectively. Discontinuation of survodutide mainly occurred during the rapid dose-escalation phase of the trial and may be mitigated by a slower dose-escalation approach. Furthermore, no unexpected safety issues were identified. A limitation of this trial was that most participants were White, which may restrict the generalizability of the findings. The results of this phase 2 trial support the potential for survodutide as a treatment for patients with MASH and liver fibrosis. These results warrant further investigation of this compound in phase 3 trials.
