Echosens is engaged with many sponsors in screening
and monitoring patients for clinical trials in MASLD/MASH.
More than 1,000 clinical institutions chose FibroScan® for their trials.
“The use of FibroScan® has tremendous value:
Once we have a patient on an FDA-approved treatment, we can potentially use FibroScan® to monitor response to therapy.
For those people that aren’t responding, we may stop the ineffective drug.
For those that are responding, we can provide positive reinforcement to continue to take their medication, remain compliant with their medication and effect a positive outcome that is potentially longstanding and will have a positive impact down the road on their long-term outcomes.
Finally, where we are able to utilize VCTE™ down the road, in the sense of predicting long-term outcome, that would be the Holy Grail and the hope for tomorrow.”

“We see a lot of patients with fatty liver disease in our clinics and conduct many clinical trials in this therapeutic area. From a clinical research perspective, FibroScan® helps characterize patients and ultimately improves the rate at which we find patients who will be eligible for participation in clinical trials. It has played an important role at our four clinical research centers, and we are very pleased with this non-invasive means of assessing liver health.”

Watch our webinar to learn how FibroScan® Solutions can support through all the steps of your trial journey. Professor Castera reviews the benefits of FibroScan® and its composite Scores in late-phase MASH trials, including showing the capability to significantly reduce screen failure rates, monitor patients, and accelerate confirmation as a clinical benefit.
On top of the NITs usage, the Echosens team presents how we partner with the clinical sites and sponsors to implement robust quality control processes to support standardization of FibroScan® data.
