Akero Therapeutics, Inc.

The presentation, scheduled for September 8, 2025, at 10:45 a.m. E.T. in New York, will provide investors and industry experts with an update on the company's progress and pipeline.

The presentation will highlight Akero's lead product candidate, efruxifermin (EFX), which is currently being evaluated in three ongoing Phase 3 clinical studies: SYNCHRONY Histology, SYNCHRONY Outcomes, and SYNCHRONY Real-World. These studies are designed to assess the efficacy and safety of EFX in patients with pre-cirrhotic (F2-F3 fibrosis) MASH, compensated cirrhosis (F4) due to MASH, and MASH or MASLD (metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease), respectively [1].

The SYNCHRONY program builds on the results of two Phase 2b clinical trials, the HARMONY study in patients with pre-cirrhotic MASH and the SYMMETRY study in patients with compensated cirrhosis due to MASH. Akero is headquartered in South San Francisco and has a strong focus on transforming the lives of patients with serious metabolic diseases [2].
