  • Major surgery within 90 days of Screening.
  • Use of hepatocyte-targeted ribonucleic acid interference (RNAi) therapies within 6 months of Screening.

Other illness

  • History or evidence of hepatic disease of non-metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) etiology (viral hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, primary biliary cholangitis \[PBC\], primary sclerosing cholangitis \[PSC\], Wilson's disease, alpha-1 antitrypsin \[A1AT\] deficiency, hemochromatosis, or autoimmune hepatitis).
  • Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) or uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
  • Clinically significant end-organ disease.

Lab values

  • Clinical or laboratory signs of decompensated liver disease, history of esophageal varices, ascites, or hepatic encephalopathy, or history of cirrhosis on biopsy performed prior to Screening.
