Exciting time in MASLD, lots of emerging compounds.
One to know => survodutide
➡️ GLPRA/Glucagon agonist
➡️ unlike GLP, liver has glucagon receptors so survodutide acts directly on the liver
➡️ SYNCHRONIZE-MASLD 2026
- MASLD pts defined by MRI (~90%) likely with F0-2
- survodutide met co-primary endpoints
1. 84% had =>30% reduction in liver fat

Changes from baseline (week 0) to follow-up (week 26) are shown for mean percent heavy drinking days in the last 30 days (A), and mean alcohol (g) consumed during the past 30 days (B), in participants randomly assigned to semaglutide 2\u00B74 mg (n=54) or placebo (n=54). Participant level changes by treatment group are in appendix 1 (p 15). SEM=standard error of the mean. Copyright: 2026 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd. CC BY 4.0.
