S5 - E24.2 - EASL Congress Six Weeks Later: Mathieu Petitjean's Key Implications
In the second half of Roger Green's interview with PharmaNest Founder and CEO Mathieu Petitjean, Matt discusses the implications of his key EASL Congress takeaways for PharmaNest.
Matt starts this discussion with a simple question: Will biopsy-based analyses become part of a surrogate endpoint? As he points out, they are not today, and creating the necessary data might require a significant effort. If not, they are unlikely to remain relevant to the large, Phase 3 trials. Regardless of the answer to this question, Matt believes digital pathology will still be important in pre-clinical work and other efforts to define underlying liver structures and faults better. Also, he notes, digital pathology is valuable in an array of other liver diseases and in non-hepatological markets, notably including pathology. One way or another, he is confident PharmaNest will continue to make contributions to hepatology and grow as a business.
