Overview

Randomized trial evaluates PPAR agonists' impact on liver conditions, suggesting broader receptor targeting may enhance treatment efficacy.

Key Points

  • To explore the therapeutic potential of PPAR agonists in treating various liver diseases based on molecular mechanisms and clinical outcomes.
  • Review of clinical phase 3 trials evaluating elafibranor and seladelpar in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC).
  • Analysis of retrospective studies on bezafibrate use in Europe and Japan.
  • Synthesis of preclinical and clinical evidence regarding mono-, dual-, and pan-PPAR agonists across liver disease types.
  • Elafibranor and seladelpar showed significant biochemical response rates of 51% and 62%, respectively, compared to placebos of 4% and 20%.
  • Long-term benefits from elafibranor demonstrated sustained improvements in cholestatic biomarkers and stabilization of fibrosis markers over three years.
  • Bezafibrate exhibited survival benefits in large retrospective analyses and is utilized as second-line therapy.
