Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Change in body weight (more than 5% self-reported OR 5 kg self-reported change during the previous 3 months from Screening, whichever is smaller)
- Participants that received their 24 week dose in Part B \> 10 weeks prior to enrollment into Part C
- Use of other investigational drugs.
Other illness
- History of type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or positive glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) auto-antibodies (latent autoimmune diabetes in adults)
- Participants with a condition that requires substantial anticoagulant medication may not be eligible for the study enrollment (e.g., deep vein thrombosis).
- Other causes of chronic liver disease
- Documented evidence or history of decompensated liver cirrhosis.
- History of type 1 diabetes or poorly controlled type 2 diabetes.
- History of malignancy.
Lab values
- Documented clinical, laboratory or radiologic evidence of cirrhosis (compensated or decompensated)
- Triglycerides ≥ 500 mg/dL
- Hemoglobin A1c \> 9.5%
Other
- Other exclusion criteria may apply
Who the study is looking for
- Participant is either male or female and 18 to 75 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent
- Obese participants with body mass index (BMI) of ≥ 27 kg/m\^2
- Hepatic fat fraction (HFF) measured by magnetic resonance imaging derived proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) ≥8%
- Liver fibrosis assessment based on a vibration controlled transient elastography (VCTE) liver stiffness measurement (LSM) score of 7.0 to 9.9 kPa (Part A only) inclusive or 7.0 to 20.0 kPa (Part B only) inclusive and Liver injury assessment measured by aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \>25U/L. A qualifying historical biopsy (confirmed eligibility based on the central pathology read) supersedes the LSM, controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) score criteria and AST criteria.
- Histopathologically confirmed F2 or F3 stage NASH on a diagnostic liver biopsy performed during Screening or within 6 months prior to the first day of dosing for historical biopsies (Part B only).
- History or presence of at least 2 of 4 components of metabolic syndrome: obesity/overweight, dyslipidemia (high triglycerides and/or low high density lipoprotein \[HDL\]), type 2 diabetes with elevated glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and hypertension.
- Participant must have completed the Part B of the study.
- Participant willing to undergo liver biopsy at Week 56
- NASH F stage \<F4 at 24 week assessment in Part B
- BMI of ≥ 25 kg/m\^2
- Liver fibrosis based on assessments taken during screening visit
- Participant should be willing and able to undergo liver biopsy during Screening (if a historical biopsy within 12 months prior to Screening is not available) and per protocol as judged by the Investigator.
- Other inclusion criteria may apply
