 89bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: ETNB), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative therapies for the treatment of liver and cardiometabolic diseases, today announced that data from the 48-week extension phase of the Phase 2b ENLIVEN trial evaluating pegozafermin in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) with fibrosis will be presented in an oral and poster presentation at the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) Congress to be held June 5 to 8, 2024 in Milan, Italy.
