Efficacy and safety of saroglitazar in real‐world patients of non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease with or without diabetes including compensated cirrhosis: A tertiary care center experience
Abstract Background and Aim Saroglitazar, a dual PPAR α/γ agonist, is useful in management of NAFLD and diabetic dyslipidemia. Here, we report the safety and efficacy of saroglitazar in NAFLD patients with or without diabetes including compensated cirrhosis. Methods Patients, started on saroglitazar 4 mg were prospectively evaluated for 52 weeks in a tertiary care center in Eastern India. Effectiveness was measured in terms of anthropometric measurements, fasting blood glucose, LFT, lipid profile, HbA1c, and elastography parameters (LSM and CAP) measured at baseline, 24, and 52 weeks. Adverse drug reactions were monitored. Results A total of 112 patients were enrolled in the study, of whom 63 patients were taken up for per‐protocol analysis. Mean age was 49.11 ± 11.09 years and 46(73%) were male. Thirty‐four (54%) were nondiabetic. Eleven patients had compensated cirrhosis. There was significant improvement of LSM from baseline (11.03 ± 7.19 kPa) to 24‐week (9.29 ± 6.39 kPa) and 52‐week (8.59 ± 6.35 kPa) values respectively (P
