Inclusion Criteria
  • Capable of giving signed informed consent prior to the performance of any study-specific procedures.
  • Able and willing to comply with all study assessments and adhere to the protocol schedule of activities.
  • In the opinion of the investigator, there is a history of alcohol consumption compatible with either ALD or Met ALD.
  • A female participant is eligible to participate after meeting additional pre-defined criteria.
  • Participants must meet predefined stable use requirements of concomitant medications based on study criteria.
Exclusion Criteria
  • Meeting any definition of organ system failure as defined by the North American Consortium for Study of End-stage Liver Disease (NACSELD)
  • Exceeding pre-defined biochemical parameters for Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), Platelets, International normalised ratio (INR), Albumin, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), Urine albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) or Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c). Other primary causes of liver disease based on study criteria.
  • Current or ongoing malignancy (except for basal cell carcinoma or uterine carcinoma-in-situ) at screening. Participants under evaluation for possible malignancy at screening are not eligible.
  • Prior liver transplant or current listing for liver transplant during the screening period.
  • Chronic or acute, including partial, known portal vein thrombosis.
  • Prior transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPSS) insertion.
  • Any acute cardiovascular event including myocardial infarction, unstable angina, symptomatic heart failure, or cerebrovascular accident in the 6 months prior to screening.
  • Poorly controlled hypertension
  • Clinical suspicion of rhabdomyolysis during the screening period
  • Clinical suspicion of a bleeding episode during the screening period related to portal hypertension and/or low blood fibrinogen level.
  • Body Mass Index (BMI) >35 kg/m2 at screening

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of participants with adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)Up to 8 weeks
Number of participants with potentially clinically relevant changes in electrocardiogram (ECG), vital signs, and clinical laboratory testsUp to 8 weeks
Change from baseline in Liver Stiffness measurement (LSM) reduction using FibroScan® at Week 28 (kiloPascal)Baseline (Day 1) and up to Week 28

Liver stiffness will be measured by vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) using the FibroScan® device.

Change from baseline in model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score reduction at Week 28Baseline (Day 1) and up to Week 28

MELD is a scoring system for assessing the severity of chronic liver disease. MELD scores range between 6 and 40, with 40 being the most severe.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of GSK4532990Up to Day 4
Area Under the Curve from Time 0 to t [AUC (0-t)] of GSK4532990Up to Day 4
Area Under the Curve from Time 0 to 24 hours [AUC (0-24)] of GSK4532990Up to 24 hours
Plasma half-life (t1/2) of GSK4532990Up to Day 4
Apparent clearance (CL/F) of GSK4532990Up to Day 4
Time to maximum concentration (tmax) of GSK4532990Up to Day 4
Apparent terminal phase volume of distribution (Vz/F) of GSK4532990Up to Day 4
Change from baseline in serum AST at Week 28Baseline (Day 1), and at Week28
Change from baseline in Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF™) score at Week 28Baseline (Day 1), and at Week 28

The ELF™ score will be calculated using a published algorithm combining the values of a set of extracellular matrix markers, including tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1), type III procollagen (PIIINP), and hyaluronic acid (HA). The ELF™ score is used as a prognostic marker for disease progression. ELF™ score will range between 4.5 to 14.7. A higher ELF™ score will predict worse prognosis

Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero (pre-dose) to the last quantifiable concentration (AUC0-t) of GSK4532990Up to Day 3
Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of GSK4532990Up to Day 3
