This ‘Liver Fibrosis-Market Insights, Epidemiology, and Market Forecast-2032' report deliver an in-depth understanding of the Liver Fibrosis, historical and forecasted epidemiology as well as the Liver Fibrosis market trends in the United States, EU5 (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom), and Japan.
The Liver Fibrosis market report provides current treatment practices, emerging drugs, and market share of the individual therapies, current and forecasted 7MM Liver Fibrosis market size from 2019 to 2032. The Report also covers current Liver Fibrosis treatment practice, market drivers, market barriers, SWOT analysis, reimbursement and market access, and unmet medical needs to curate the best of the opportunities and assesses the underlying potential of the market.
Regardless of the etiology, liver fibrosis is characterized by common molecular mechanisms such as hepatocyte death, chronic inflammation with cytokine release, activation of HSCs, and disruption of the epithelial or endothelial barrier.
There is growing optimism that new medications that favor the natural history of the disease are likely to emerge within the next 3-5 years.
Due to the lack of standard treatment, liver transplantation is the only treatment option available for severe and advanced cases of fibrosis. No drug has been approved by the FDA for fibrosis and NASH, but few studies have shown promising results. According to the guidelines of the American Liver Foundation, Vitamin E is commonly prescribed to patients with NAFLD / NASH and works by reducing or neutralizing the damage caused by inflammation. However, both vitamin E as an antioxidant and pioglitazone as an insulin sensitizer have shown some efficacy against NASH in randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
In upcoming drug scenario, there are plethora of companies investigating agents for use in NASH based Fibrosis which are Inventiva Pharma, Galmed Pharmaceuticals, Madrigal pharma, Galectin therapeutics, Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Galectin Therapeutics Inc., Zydus Therapeutic. There are many more pharma companies which are conducting clinical trials for therapies of liver fibrosis or NASH.
This helps in understanding the drugs with the most rapid uptake, reasons behind the maximal use of new drugs and allows the comparison of the drugs based on market share and size which again will be useful in investigating factors important in market uptake and in making financial and regulatory decisions.

Liver Fibrosis Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm
Liver fibrosis results in the accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, mostly collagens Type I and Type III, followed by the formation of fibrous scar, which can ultimately compromise normal liver function. The main causes of liver fibrosis include alcohol abuse, chronic HCV infection, Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and NASH (Fatty Liver not due to alcohol use).Regardless of the etiology, liver fibrosis is characterized by common molecular mechanisms such as hepatocyte death, chronic inflammation with cytokine release, activation of HSCs, and disruption of the epithelial or endothelial barrier.
Liver Fibrosis Diagnosis
Fibrosis is a precursor to cirrhosis, and establishing the severity of liver fibrosis helps predict liver-related morbidity and mortality and the emergence of complications of portal hypertension. Noninvasive methods to estimate hepatic fibrosis are commonly used in clinical practice as a safer, more accessible, and less costly strategy than liver biopsy for stratifying persons according to risk. These methods include indirect biomarkers, direct biomarkers, and elastography. If a combination of noninvasive methods provides a clear-cut assessment of hepatic fibrosis, further assessment with liver biopsy is generally not needed. Although liver biopsy with histologic analysis has long been considered the gold standard evaluation of hepatic fibrosis, it is now infrequently used to evaluate liver fibrosis in persons with chronic HCV. In the current era, the optimal approach to fibrosis assessment is to use noninvasive serum markers/tests in conjunction with transient elastography.Liver Fibrosis Treatment
Though, there is no approved drug for the treatment of this condition but various mechanism of action, such as inhibiting HSC activation, promoting HSC phenotypic conversion, immunological clearance of HSC, promoting HSC death, and inducing HSC senescence are a few of the methods that can repair liver fibrosis. According to the guidelines of the American Liver Foundation, Vitamin E is commonly prescribed to patients with Liver fibrosis (NASH) and works by reducing or neutralizing the damage caused by inflammation. However, both vitamin E as an antioxidant and pioglitazone as an insulin sensitizer have shown some efficacy against NASH in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). In recent years, ongoing research has paved the way for the development of pharmacological treatment. Several new emerging drugs such as lanifibranor, AXA1125, LPCN 1144, and others, are medications with a novel mechanism of action, currently being investigated in FDA trials to treat Liver Fibrosis specifically for NASH.Liver Fibrosis Epidemiology
The disease epidemiology covered in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by Total Diagnosed Prevalent cases of Liver Fibrosis, Severity-specific Diagnosed cases of Non Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), Total Diagnosed Prevalent cases of Liver Fibrosis in NASH in the 7MM covering the United States, EU5 countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom), and Japan from 2019 to 2032.Key Findings

Lanifibranor: Inventiva Pharma
Lanifibranor is an orally-available small molecule that induces anti-fibrotic, anti-inflammatory, and beneficial metabolic changes in the body by activating each of the three PPAR isoforms, known as PPARα, PPARδ, and PPARɣ. PPARs are ligand-activated transcription factors belonging to the nuclear hormone receptor family that regulate gene expression. Lanifibranor is a PPAR agonist that is designed to target all three PPAR isoforms in a moderately potent manner, with a well-balanced activation of PPARα and PPARδ and partial activation of PPARɣ, while other PPAR agonists target only one or two PPAR isoforms for activation, lanifibranor is the only pan-PPAR agonist in clinical development. Fast Track Designation previously granted to Lanifibranol in NASH, on September 21, 2021, includes the treatment of NASH patients with compensatory cirrhosis by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)Aramchol: Galmed Research and Development
Aramchol (arachidyl amido cholanoic acid) is a first-in-class, novel synthetic small molecule, a conjugate of cholic acid and arachidic acid, liver-targeted stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) modulator, developed as an oral therapy to treat NASH -and fibrosis. It can modulate hepatic lipid metabolism which was discovered and validated in animal models, demonstrating downregulation of the three key pathologies of NASH: steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis. The effect of Aramchol on fibrosis is mediated by the downregulation of steatosis and directly on human collagen-producing cells. Aramchol has been granted Fast Track Designation status by the FDA to treat NASH.Liver Fibrosis Market Outlook
Liver fibrosis is the result of excessive accumulation of the extracellular matrix of the liver due to chronic liver injury, and fibrosis is considered as a model for the wound healing response. This process is associated with an inflammatory response in which extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition is restricted. Persistent liver damage causes liver regeneration to fail and hepatocytes are replaced by large amounts of ECM, including collagen.There is growing optimism that new medications that favor the natural history of the disease are likely to emerge within the next 3-5 years.
Due to the lack of standard treatment, liver transplantation is the only treatment option available for severe and advanced cases of fibrosis. No drug has been approved by the FDA for fibrosis and NASH, but few studies have shown promising results. According to the guidelines of the American Liver Foundation, Vitamin E is commonly prescribed to patients with NAFLD / NASH and works by reducing or neutralizing the damage caused by inflammation. However, both vitamin E as an antioxidant and pioglitazone as an insulin sensitizer have shown some efficacy against NASH in randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
