Intercept's OCA (FXR agonist) has an inferior AE and efficacy profile. But it will be first to market (is approved in Canada now).
I question whether a crappy drug like OCA will ever be approved for NASH. The early approval is for PBC, an orphan indication.

I know a bit about NASH, but this discussion will prove to be helpful. I have to run now, but thought I would add this slide to the mix for discussion. From MDGL, but I will mention that a M. Erion compound at Metabasis has a somewhat similar profile, as reported by Viking this morning:

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