In the interest filling the void that's developed at SI over the last few days (except for Miljenko), maybe someone can chime in on a question I have from a Twitter instigated tangent. I'll try to make it short. :)

What's what vis-a-vis THRB agonists (MDGL,VKTX) versus FGF21 as pathways for NAFLD/NASH treatment?

BMY still has a PEG FGF21 drug in it's pipeline chart when Ph2 results were clearly inferior to MDGL & VKTX results (this doesn't sway me one way or the other, could just be BMY's suboptimal drug). David Grainger tweeted about a study showing BMP-9 administration in mice upregulated FGF21 expression in a study of high-fat chow induced obesity. I think Roche or someone might be exploring FGF21 in trials as well.

So, any opinions on FGF21 vs THRB (I realize that something else entirely or many may win)?
