What Madrigal Pharmaceuticals does

Biotech that launched Rezdiffra, the first approved drug for MASH (fatty liver disease with fibrosis).

Sells one drug, a daily pill meant for long-term use, so revenue builds as more patients are diagnosed and put on treatment. Most prescribers are liver and digestive specialists, and a key step is non-invasive testing that identifies who has the disease without a biopsy. It launched in 2024.
