Inclusion Criteria

- Age above or equal to 18 years at the time of signing informed consent.
- Histological evidence of NASH based on a central pathologist evaluation of
the baseline liver biopsy. The baseline liver biopsy can be a historical biopsy
obtained within 180 days prior to screening visit (V1).
- Histological evidence of fibrosis stage 2 or stage 3 according to the NASH
CRN classification based on a central pathologist evaluation of the baseline
liver biopsy.
- A histological NAS >= 4 with a score of 1 or more in both steatosis, lobular
inflammation and hepatocyte ballooning based on a central pathologist
evaluation of the baseline liver biopsy.

Exclusion Criteria

- Positive HBsAg, positive anti-HIV, positive HCV-RNA at screening or any known
presence of HCV RNA or HBsAg within 2 years of screening (V2A).
- Documented causes of chronic liver disease other than Non-Alcoholic Fatty
Liver Disease NAFLD.
- Presence or history of ascites, variceal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy,
spontaneous bacterial peritonitis or liver transplantation at randomisation.
- Known or suspected excessive consumption of alcohol (>20 g/day for women or
>30 g/day for men) or alcohol dependence (assessed by the Alcohol Use Disorders
Identification Test (AUDIT questionnaire).
- Treatment with vitamin E (at doses >=800 IU/day) or pioglitazone or
medications approved for treatment of NASH which has not been at a stable dose
in the opinion of the investigator in the period from 90 days prior to the
screening visit (V2A). In addition, for subjects with historical liver biopsies
taken more than 90 days prior to screening, treatment should be at a stable
dose in the opinion of the investigator from time of biopsy until screening.
- Treatment with GLP-1 RAs in the period from 90 days prior to the screening
visit (V2A). In addition, for subjects with historical liver biopsies taken
more than 90 days prior to screening, any treatment with GLP-1 RAs from time of
biopsy until screening.
- Treatment with glucose lowering agent(s) (other than GLP-1 RAs), lipid
lowering medication or weight loss medication not stable in the opinion of the
investigator in the period from 90 days prior to the screening visit (V2A). In
addition, for subjects with historical liver biopsies taken more than 90 days
prior to screening, treatment should be at a stable dose in the opinion of the
investigator from time of biopsy until screening.
