Madrigal Pharmaceuticals Provides Corporate Update and Reports 202 Third Quarter Financial Results

Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:MDGL) today provides a summary of corporate accomplishments and reports its third quarter 2021 financial results.

Paul Friedman, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Madrigal, stated, “Throughout the third quarter, the Madrigal team continued to progress MAESTRO-NASH, the pivotal serial liver biopsy study and a key component of the Phase 3 program for resmetirom for patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, NASH. We remain on track to complete the double-blind portion of our Phase 3 non-invasive imaging and biomarker study, MAESTRO-NAFLD-1, and report topline data by year-end, with additional topline data rollout in early 2022. We will also be presenting additional data from the open-label portion of this study at the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) The Liver Meeting® on November 12-15th.”

Becky Taub, M.D., Chief Medical Officer and President of Research & Development at Madrigal stated, “Data from the recently completed 52 week open-label arm of the MAESTRO-NAFLD-1 study will be presented at AASLD and provides our most informed insights to date regarding the effects of resmetirom in presumed NASH patients, using a variety of non-invasive tests relevant to clinical practice. The double-blinded MAESTRO-NAFLD-1 and MAESTRO NASH studies readouts over the forthcoming months will further inform our understanding of how to identify and monitor NASH patients with significant fibrosis.”

Dr. Taub added, “In October, in recognition of Liver Awareness Month, we announced our alliance with the Fatty Liver Foundation, a leading patient advocacy organization focused on the diagnosis, treatment and support of individuals with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease or NAFLD and NASH. Our alliance with the Foundation is in support of their NAFLD Screening Fund and aligns with our commitment to advance the use of non-invasive techniques to improve the diagnosis and staging of NAFLD and NASH and identify people at risk of NASH earlier in the course of their disease.”
