In this EASL DeepDive held on 30 October 2024, Henning Grønbæk, Cyrielle Caussy, Mazen Noureddin and Frank Tacke provide an understanding of the role of glucagon and glucagon-receptors in physiology and in MASH patients. Additionally, they review key clinical trials and evaluate the integration of GLP-1 receptor agonists into current EASL-EASD-EASO clinical guidelines for practical patient management.

Learning objectives:

1. Understand the role of glucagon and glucagon-receptor in normal physiology and disease.
2. Understand the rationale of a combined dual GLP-1/GCG RA and its potential benefit compared to a GLP-1RA alone and thus gain insights into the mechanisms through which GLP-1 receptor agonists and GLP-1/GCG might affect liver pathology and metabolic regulation.
3. Discuss and review key clinical trials and ongoing development programs.
4. Evaluate how GLP-1RA can be integrated into current EASL-EASD-EASO CPGs, with a focus on practical applications and patient management strategies, giving potential guidance for future applications.
