<I know MZ followed VKTX, perhaps he has a view on VK2809?>

Yes, VK2809 and MGL-3196 target is the same thyroid hormone receptor-beta (agonist, activator), expressed on liver. As Tuck pointed, side effects can be problematic and so far hindered development of this drug-type. I do not know for MGL-3196, but VK2809 is liver-specific ????( pro-drug, activated by liver enzyme????), so maybe there is hope that 5/10 mg dose may open Therapeutic Window and have positive data in PII trial.
