FDA Grants Fast-Track Status for NAFLD and NASH Treatments
« on: March 24, 2016, 09:33:01 am »
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted fast-track status to a new program focused on developing premiere treatments for both non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The initiative, announced by U.S. research company NuSirt Biopharma, hopes to target some of the fastest growing liver diseases in the world, which are commonly associated with obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes.

Currently, both NAFLD and NASH lack any approved treatments in the United States. That’s despite the fact that up to 100 million people across the country are estimated to have NAFLD, and that up to 20 million more have progressed to NASH. Both diseases are the result of fat building up in the liver, which prevents the organ’s ability to remove toxins from the blood. Together, they affect up to one-third of the U.S. population.
