Applications of Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP) in Drug Development for NAFLD and NASH and Its Regulatory Application

Scott Q. Siler

Summary: Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a prevalent disease without approved pharmaceutical treatments. Quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) can improve drug development in this area by modeling disease pathophysiology and pharmacological interventions. Several QSP models have been developed for NASH. Simulations using QSP model NAFLDsym showed the impact of patient behaviors on fibrosis stage reductions.

ACC inhibitor alone or co-administered with a DGAT2 inhibitor in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: two parallel, placebo-controlled, randomized phase 2a trials

Roberto A. Calle et al.

Summary: The study showed that ACC1/2 inhibitors had a good therapeutic effect in the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, significantly reducing liver fat content. Co-administration of PF-05221304 and PF-06865571 can reduce the incidence of adverse events and mitigate the effect of ACC inhibition on serum triglycerides.

Computational Hypothesis: How Intra-Hepatic Functional Heterogeneity May Influence the Cascading Progression of Free Fatty Acid-Induced Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

Hermann-Georg Holzhuetter et al.

Summary: Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is the most common type of chronic liver disease in developed nations, affecting around 25% of the population. Intra-hepatic heterogeneity of rheological, metabolic and tissue-regenerating capacities has been found to play a central role in disease progression. Model simulations indicate that a persistently high plasma level of FFAs can drive the liver through different stages of NAFLD, with the presence of NAFLD amplifying the impact of additional tissue-damaging hits and the coexistence of non-steatotic and highly steatotic regions being indicative for the later occurrence of severe NAFLD stages.

A Placebo-Controlled Trial of Subcutaneous Semaglutide in Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis

Philip N. Newsome et al.

Summary: This phase 2 trial demonstrated that treatment with semaglutide resulted in a significantly higher percentage of patients with NASH resolution compared to placebo in patients with NASH, but did not show a significant between-group difference in the percentage of patients with an improvement in fibrosis stage.

PPAR-γ-induced changes in visceral fat and adiponectin levels are associated with improvement of steatohepatitis in patients with NASH

Amalia Gastaldelli et al.

Summary: The study found that PPAR-gamma agonists, along with an increase in ADPN levels, a decrease in VF, and an improvement in VF/SC fat distribution, are closely related to improving the pathological condition of patients with NASH.

A Prototype QSP Model of the Immune Response to SARS-CoV-2 for Community Development

Wei Dai et al.

Summary: The text discusses the importance of developing effective treatments for COVID-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, introduces quantitative systems pharmacology models and their applications, and presents a prototype model for further development. The model captures two physiological outcomes post-infection and aims to accelerate QSP model development by encouraging community use and refinement.
