Perhaps you should actually look at the other NASH candidates for their NASH and Fibrosis results. The LL results reported by Dr. Recknor and NP are "as good as 45%" (only the best patient) and 25% average fat reduction (all patients). The 8% fibrosis is weak -- may not be significantly different than placebo or zero.
Other drug candidates have averages of 50% and 65% (2 doses) and 48% in later stage trials. So LL is performing HALF as well as these other candidates if the final results are similar. Clearly not a "breakthrough" and if would raise the question if doing a Phase 3 trial is worth the money.
Competitors are a year ahead, much better metrics. We'll see how the 700 mg does, but it very unlikely to double the efficacy. Now that the company has "interim" data, the company doesn't seem to talk about BTD for NASH anymore.
