Our Phase 2a RCT of oral #YAQ007 vs rifaximin in cirrhosis is live in @HEP_Journal 🧵 ✅ Significant ammonia reduction at ≥4g BID (p=0.002) - significantly better than Rifaximin + lactulose ✅ PAGN excretion ↑ in all groups — mechanism confirmed ✅ Generally well tolerated No approved ammonia-targeting drug exists yet. This is a step. doi.org/10.1097/HEP.00000000… @AASLDtweets @EASLnews @MNK_Pharma @uclnews #HepaticEncephalopathy #Cirrhosis @HEP_Journal #LiverDisease @YaqritLtd @ISHENliver
