In this video exclusive, Pol Boudes, MD, chief medical officer of Galectin Therapeutics, spoke about NAVIGATEnash.com, a website for physicians and patients to get information on cirrhosis stemming from nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.
The website data come from NAVIGATE, Galectin’s phase 2b/3 study in NASH cirrhosis.
Boudes said NASH is the leading cause of cirrhosis and currently the only treatment available for NASH cirrhosis is a liver transplant.
He said there are three parts to the website. One part provides education on NASH cirrhosis to patients and their families. The second part gives information to physicians on markers for cirrhosis. The third part is restricted to the study investigators, where they hold discussions on issues occurring with the study.
