Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) encompasses a spectrum of clinical conditions which range from the relatively benign hepatic steatosis to the more serious non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) which puts subjects at significant risk of liver failure, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
Currently there are no approved medicines to treat subjects with or at risk of developing NASH. However a number of pioneering companies have taken up the challenge to address this unmet clinical need. One of the many challenges encountered during this process is the process of enrolling subjects into a clinical trial via utilization of centralized assessments of liver biopsy specimens. During the course of this discussion ICON will share considerations that will aid cost effective and timely enrolment of subjects.
