Less than a week after Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. boosted the stagnant non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) R&D chase with positive Phase III results, Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Inc. added to a sense of momentum with the 23 December announcement that it has refiled its new drug application for its FXR agonist obeticholic acid (OCA) in NASH, culminating a nearly 30-month process of responding to a US Food and Drug Administration complete response letter in June 2020.
