Akero Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage company developing transformational treatments for patients with serious metabolic diseases marked by high unmet medical need, including metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Efruxifermin (EFX), its lead product candidate for MASH, is being evaluated in three ongoing Phase 3 studies: SYNCHRONY Outcomes in patients with compensated cirrhosis (F4) due to MASH, SYNCHRONY Histology in patients with pre-cirrhotic (F2-F3 fibrosis) MASH, and SYNCHRONY Real-World in patients with MASH (F1-F4). The Phase 3 SYNCHRONY program builds on the results of two Phase 2b clinical trials, the HARMONY study in patients with pre-cirrhotic MASH and the SYMMETRY study in patients with compensated cirrhosis due to MASH. EFX is an analog of fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), which is an endogenously expressed hormone that protects against cellular stress and regulates metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates and proteins throughout the body.
