Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults in Pakistan with fibroscan‑proven MASH and at least one metabolic comorbidity (e.g., T2DM, obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension) who do not have cirrhosis or significant renal impairment are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with cirrhosis, decompensated liver disease, chronic viral or other non‑MASH liver disease, recent major cardiovascular events, pregnancy, or severe renal impairment are unlikely to benefit from joining this trial.

What this trial studies
This is a Phase 4 interventional trial conducted at the Liver Transplant Center, Holy Family Hospital in Rawalpindi that gives resmetirom to patients with fibroscan‑proven MASH and metabolic comorbidities. Eligibility requires objective liver stiffness or steatosis measures (e.g., LSM ≥ 8.5 kPa, FAST ≥ 0.67, CAP ≥ 275 dB/m, or FIB‑4 > 1.3) and at least one metabolic condition such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, dyslipidemia, or hypertension. Key exclusions include cirrhosis, decompensated liver disease, chronic viral or other non‑MASH liver disease, recent resmetirom use, significant renal impairment, pregnancy, active substance abuse, and recent major cardiovascular events. Participants will be monitored for safety and changes in liver biomarkers and noninvasive fibrosis/steatosis measures while receiving resmetirom.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, resmetirom could reduce liver fat and inflammation and improve liver-related biomarkers in patients with MASH.
How similar studies have gone: Previous clinical studies of resmetirom, including phase 2 and later-stage programs, have shown reductions in liver fat and improvements in some liver biomarkers, so this approach has supporting clinical data.
