• Novo Nordisk presented a post hoc analysis at EASD 2026 from the STEP UP program assessing Wegovy’s impact on liver health.
• The analysis found most adults with obesity and elevated liver fat moved into the normal range during 72 weeks of treatment.
• Results point to potential use in addressing fatty liver early in obesity, extending Wegovy’s value beyond weight loss.
• Separate late-stage ESSENCE data cited in the release support a broader push for semaglutide in MASH treatment.
