GRIP on MASH: Global Research Initiative for Patient Screening on MASH

Descrizione del progetto

Piattaforma innovativa per affrontare il problema della MASLD

Il carico di malattia e le comorbidità associate alla steatosi epatica associata a disfunzione metabolica (MASLD) pongono sfide significative ai sistemi sanitari pubblici. Pertanto, è urgente trasformare le pratiche sanitarie relative alla MASLD e alleviare il peso della malattia per i pazienti. Il progetto GRIPonMASH, finanziato dall’UE, intende rispondere a questa esigenza sviluppando una piattaforma sostenibile e scalabile per la diagnosi precoce dei pazienti a rischio che sviluppano o hanno già ricevuto una diagnosi di MASLD a livello di cure primarie. Questa piattaforma, implementata in 12 Centri di eccellenza europei, faciliterà una migliore stratificazione dei pazienti attraverso strumenti di supporto decisionale basati sull’intelligenza artificiale che utilizzano biomarcatori esistenti e nuovi. Inoltre, offrirà consigli personalizzati sullo stile di vita, esaminando i fattori dello stile di vita basati su dati concreti e l’impatto delle raccomandazioni nutrizionali.

Obiettivo

GRIP on MASH will address the unmet public health need of reducing disease burden and comorbidities associated with Metabolic dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD). Together with seven medical technology, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, we will devise a sustainable and scalable GRIP on MASH Platform that will enable access to at-risk patients developing or having MASLD through the early detection of this condition at the primary care level. This Platform will allow A) the early detection of patients with MASLD: distributed in 12 European Centers of Excellence (CoEs), 10,000 patients at high risk of MASLD - defined as patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, obesity or arterial hypertension - will be screened and characterized; B) better patients’ stratification: the Platform will comprise artificial intelligence-based decision support tools that will make use of existing and novel biomarkers/biomarker combinations. Their predictive accuracy will be tested at the primary care level; there we will perform multi-OMICs analysis (proteomics, lipidomics, metabolomics, genomics, metagenomics and fluxomics) in fasted blood samples and we will explore imaging biomarkers/organ-on-a-chip to find future non-invasive diagnostic alternatives for the current standard (liver biopsies); and C) personalized lifestyle advice, by exploring evidence-based lifestyle features and the effect of nutritional recommendations: among the cohorts at the CoEs, we will use validated questionnaires to assess physical activity, diet, sleep, smoking, alcohol consumption, and perception of stress. Integrating patients’ perspectives with the participation of two patient organizations, the trustworthiness and sustainability of our GRIP on MASH Platform will be assessed by investigating potential economic, ethical and regulatory barriers to its future adoption. GRIP on MASH will change healthcare practice in MASLD and reduce the disease burden for patients.
