A growing spectrum of novel therapies are currently in clinical development and target several mechanisms of action which address hepatic steatosis, steatohepatitis, and hepatic fibrosis. Cenicriviroc (Allergan, Dublin, Ireland) is a novel oral antagonist of CC-motif chemokine receptors 2 and 5 (CCR2/5) which have demonstrated expression on circulating monocytes and Kupffer cells. Preclinical models have confirmed that CCR2/5 antagonism may block fat accumulation and Kupffer cell activation and disrupt monocyte/macrophage recruitment and hepatic stellate cell activation responsible for fibrogenesis. Herein we review results from the phase 2b CENTAUR trial and study designs for the phase 2b TANDEM and phase 3 AURORA trials and discuss the potential role of cenicriviroc in future pharmacotherapy for NASH fibrosis.Keywords: cenicriviroc, fatty liver, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, liver fibrosis, antifibrotic therapy, clinical trialsDiaz Soto MPLim JKDove Medical Pressarticlecenicrivirocfatty livernon-alcoholic steatohepatitisliver fibrosisantifibrotic therapyclinical trialsDiseases of the digestive system.
