Nearly one-third of U.S. adults and nearly one-quarter of adults worldwide are thought to have NAFLD, a liver condition that's often difficult to identify. NASH, the most severe form of NAFLD, can be asymptomatic or present symptoms similar to those found in other diseases, further complicating an accurate diagnosis.
While liver biopsies have been a standard practice of clinical trials for liver disease, they come with many drawbacks. Besides being invasive, uncomfortable and risky for patients, liver biopsies are also expensive for investigators-costing an estimated 3 $-5 $ per patient. When considering how best to strengthen patient recruitment and retention for these types of trials, it is evident noninvasive testing is needed.
Inherent variability in both the presentation of NASH, as well as NASH progression, has further complicated the identification and approval of new medicines for this widespread disease. It appears increasingly likely that a variety of disease interventions, used singly or in combination, will be needed to fully address NASH medical need. This is likewise the case for liver diseases that share some pathophysiological features of NASH, like primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and primary biliary cholangitis (PBC).
At Labcorp, we’re exploring new pathways for precision medicines in hepatology so patients receive quality treatment sooner. Using blood-based diagnostic tests such as NASHnextTM, we’re able to measure NASH biomarkers in a noninvasive way to yield an NIS4 score that identifies at-risk NASH populations. Using this test avoids unnecessary biopsy screening in a larger population and the test itself is significantly less expensive and safer for patients. We have also implemented the newly approved prognostic, Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) Test, to further support patient disease staging. New genotyping offerings enabling the detection of risk alleles in liver disease genes including PNPLA3 and HSD17B13 will help identify patients at risk for more rapid disease progression.
