Yes, Madrigal Pharmaceuticals is actively looking to expand its MASH (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis) portfolio beyond its already approved drug, Rezdiffra (resmetirom).
Madrigal's expansion strategy focuses on developing potential combination therapies, as MASH is a complex disease that requires multiple treatment approaches.
Key components of their expanded pipeline include:
Ervogastat: In January 2026, Madrigal entered into an exclusive global license agreement with Pfizer to acquire ervogastat, a Phase 2 oral DGAT-2 inhibitor. This drug works on a different, complementary pathway to Rezdiffra, and Madrigal plans to conduct studies to test the two treatments in combination.
Oral GLP-1 Receptor Agonist: Madrigal also holds worldwide rights to an oral GLP-1 agonist called SYH2086, licensed from CSPC Pharmaceutical, with the goal of creating a best-in-class oral combination therapy.
Additional Early-Stage Assets: The agreement with Pfizer for ervogastat also included rights to two other early-stage MASH pipeline assets.
Madrigal's CEO, Bill Sibold, has stated that the company is committed to "building the industry-leading pipeline that will shape the future of MASH care" and believes combination therapies are the next wave of innovation in the field.
