Cilofexor (also known as GS-9674) is a nonsteroidal farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist in clinical trials for the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), [1] [2] [3] and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). [4] [5] It is being investigated for use alone or in combination with firsocostat, selonsertib, [1] or semaglutide. [2] [6] In rat models [3] and human clinical trials [7] of NASH it has been shown to reduce fibrosis and steatosis, and in human clinical trials of PSC it improved cholestasis and reduced markers of liver injury. [4]

It is being developed by the pharmaceutical company Gilead Sciences. [8] [6]
