Identification of advanced fibrosis in MASLD patients
Current MASH drug developments focus on patients with MASH at-risk of progression to cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis defined by Active Fibrotic MASH (MASH + NAS≥4 + F≥2).
Fast combines FibroScan® examination results (LSM by VCTE™ & CAP™) with an easily accessible blood biomarker (AST) to help identify patients with active fibrotic-MASH, at the point-of-care, reducing invasive and costly procedures.
Good to excellent performance in derivation cohort as well as in external validation cohorts from different clinical settings (MASLD tertiary care unit, screening, bariatric surgery) and geographical origins (USA, Europe, Asia).
Several publications advocate the use of Fast.
Fast is an algorithm intended to aid in the diagnosis of active fibrotic Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) in patients with suspected Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). Fast is used, during liver assessment, in patient with suspected NAFLD. Fast is presented as an educational service intended for licensed healthcare professionals. While this score is about specific medical and healthcare issues, it is not a substitute for or replacement of personalized medical advice and is not intended to be used as the sole basis for making individualized medical or health-related decisions. The following precautions must be observed when using Fast: LSM (also known as E) and CAP measurements must come from the same FibroScan® examination; There must be no more than 6 months between the FibroScan® examination and the blood sample necessary for AST assessment. Fast must not be used in the following situations : pregnancy, patients under 18 years old, chronic or acute liver diseases other than NAFLD, liver transplant patients, cardiac failure and/or significant vascular disease, confirmed diagnosis of active malignancy or other terminal disease, use of treatment inducing liver injury.
*MASLD/MASH is formerly knowed as NAFLD/NASH
