Madrigal Pharmaceuticals Inc

Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. engages in the development and commercialization of innovative therapeutic candidates for the treatment of cardiovascular, metabolic, and liver diseases. The company is headquartered in West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania and currently employs 915 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2007-02-06. The firm is focused on delivering novel therapeutics for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), a liver disease with high unmet medical need. The Company’s medication, Rezdiffra (resmetirom), is a once-daily, oral, liver-directed THR-b agonist designed to target key underlying causes of MASH. Rezdiffra is the medication approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of MASH with moderate to advanced fibrosis (consistent with stages F2 to F3). Rezdiffra is a prescribed medicine used along with diet and exercise to treat adults with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with moderate to advanced liver scarring (fibrosis), but not with cirrhosis of the liver. An ongoing Phase III outcomes trial is evaluating Rezdiffra for the treatment of compensated MASH cirrhosis (consistent with stage F4c).
