Eli Lilly’s blockbuster diabetes and obesity drug improved living scarring in a mid-stage study of the liver disease MASH, adding to positive data announced earlier this year.

The study tested three doses of tirzepatide, sold commercially as Mounjaro or Zepbound. The percentage of patients who experienced a greater than one-stage improvement in scarring, or fibrosis, without worsening of their disease was 54.9%, 51.3%, and 51.0% from the lowest to highest doses.

When compared with the 29.7% of patients on placebo who achieved this outcome, the results were statistically significant, according to an abstract of data that will be presented at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of the Liver.
