Selonsertib, an investigational treatment for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), worked no better than a placebo for improving liver fibrosis or reducing the risk of cirrhosis, according to a report at The Liver Meeting, the annual meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD), taking place this week in Boston.

NASH, and its less severe form, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), are responsible for a growing proportion of advanced liver disease.
