Impact of pemafibrate in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease complicated by dyslipidemia: A single-arm prospective study
Background and Aim
This study aimed to clarify the efficacy and safety of 48-week pemafibrate treatment in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) complicated by dyslipidemia.
Methods
A total of 110 patients diagnosed with MASLD complicated by dyslipidemia received pemafibrate at a dose of 0.1 mg twice daily for 48 weeks.
Results
The participants were 54 males and 37 females, with a median age of 63 (52–71) years. Besides improvement in lipid profile, significant reductions from baseline to 48 weeks of treatment were found in liver-related enzymes, such as aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, and alkaline phosphatase (P < 0.001 for all). A significant decrease in the homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was observed in patients with insulin resistance (HOMA-IR ≥ 2.5) (4.34 at baseline to 3.89 at Week 48, P < 0.05). Moreover, changes in ALT were weakly correlated with those in HOMA-IR (r = 0.34; p < 0.05). Regarding noninvasive liver fibrosis tests, platelets, Wisteria floribunda agglutinin-positive Mac-2-binding protein, type IV collagen 7s, and the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease fibrosis score significantly decreased from baseline to Week 48. Most adverse events were Grades 1–2, and no drug-related Grade 3 or higher adverse events were observed.
Conclusion
This study demonstrated that 48-week pemafibrate administration improved liver-related enzymes and surrogate marker of liver fibrosis in patients with MASLD. The improvement of insulin resistance by pemafibrate may contribute to the favorable effect on MASLD complicated by dyslipidemia.
