"In 2022, we made significant advancements across our late-stage clinical development program for pegozafermin, and with our extended cash runway, are well positioned to execute on our key priorities and achieve multiple value-driving milestones in both SHTG and NASH," said Rohan Palekar, Chief Executive Officer of 89bio. "We are encouraged by the feedback from the FDA supporting the advancement of pegozafermin in SHTG and plan to initiate the first of two recommended Phase 3 trials in the second quarter of this year. In parallel, we remain on track to deliver topline results from ENLIVEN, our Phase 2b NASH trial, this quarter, which could support advancing into Phase 3 development in NASH. We have developed plans to optimize the clinical development program across both indications and expect to finalize these plans after we have reviewed the results from ENLIVEN."
