I read this differently from Dr.NateNeph, on substance rather than tone. Small molecule does not automatically mean cheap. Price is set by what the market will bear and by patent life, not by cost of goods, and I would not assume the savings reach patients.
One concrete data point for the thread. With resmetirom now available for MASH, combination approaches are being explored, so the standard of care in this area is moving faster than most threads assume.

Whether normalised enzymes tell you anything about fibrosis, and what the right follow-up measurement is?
OP back with an update, since a thread like this is useless without one.
