The blockbuster weight loss and diabetes drug sold by Eli Lilly also appears to improve fatty liver disease, according to early clinical trial data the pharmaceutical company released Tuesday.

Eli Lilly reported during its fourth-quarter earnings call that tirzepatide, which is sold commercially as Mounjaro or Zepbound, succeeded in a Phase 2 test as a treatment for the liver disease MASH. Around 74% of adults in the trial taking the drug were free of MASH after 52 weeks, compared to approximately 13% of the placebo group.
