- In a 54-month double-blind trial with nearly 1,000 patients, those receiving resmetirom (80 mg or 100 mg) showed significant improvements in various HRQL measures compared to a placebo group, particularly in the Worry domain of the Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire (CLDQ-NAFLD).
- The study concluded that patients with MASH/NASH who improved their fibrosis or resolved MASH experienced notable HRQL enhancements, indicating that resmeti

A successful approach for representing molecules is to treat them as graphs and utilize graph neural networks. One of the key limitations of such methods is the necessity to represent compounds with different numbers of atoms, which requires aggregating the atom's information.
