The study, published recently in Hepatology , compared the effectiveness of Tropifexor plus Cenicriviroc combination therapy versus monotherapy1.
Key Points:
- The study, published recently in Hepatology , compared the effectiveness of Tropifexor plus Cenicriviroc combination therapy versus monotherapy1.
- The study found that the AI-based analysis using SHG/TPE digital pathology was able to detect effects seen in different zones of the liver lobule that may not have been detected using conventional microscopy.
- The fully quantitative co-localization and zonal assessment has the potential to provide greater details in evaluating the effects of combination therapy for NASH.
- Tropifexor is a selective agonist of farnesoid X receptor (FXR), which regulates bile acid metabolism and inflammation.
