Inclusion Criteria

NASH with type 2 diabetes
1. Patients aged 20 to 75 years at the time of consent
2. Patients with type 2 diabetes who were diagnosed with NASH with stage 1 or more and NAS 4 or more according to the classification of the NASH Clinical Research Network (NASH CRN) by liver biopsy within 6 months (180 days) before pre-examination or consent acquisition
3. Patients with HbA1c 6.5% or more (HbA1c 6% or more for those undergoing drug treatment) and 10.5% or less in the preliminary examination
4. Patients who provided written consent to participate in this study

Exclusion Criteria

1. Patients who received SGLT2 inhibitors or GLP-1 receptor agonists within 3 months (90 days) prior to the start of the drug administration study or after liver biopsy
2. Patients who used other SGLT2 inhibitors or GLP-1 receptor agonists during the study period
3. Patients with a history of serious adverse reactions to SGLT2 inhibitors or GLP-1 receptor agonists in the past
4. Patients with uncompensated liver cirrhosis (Child-Pugh B or C)
5. Patients with serious renal disease (serum Cr > 2.0 mg/dL or CKD stage 4 or higher)
6. Patients with malignant tumor
7. Patients with a history of severe hypoglycemia
8. Patients with a history of ketoacidosis
9. Patients with a history of cerebral infarction with paralysis
10. Patients with urinary tract/genital infections or repeated urinary tract/genital infections
11. Patients with the following complications: hepatitis due to other causes such as viral hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, primary cholestatic cholangitis, psychiatric disorders, seizures, and paroxysmal diseases
12. Patients who were hospitalized for acute coronary syndrome, unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction, acute cerebral infarction, or transient ischemic attack within 3 months (90 days) prior to obtaining consent
13. Pregnant or lactating women, women who may become pregnant, or women who wish to become pregnant
14. Patients who had started or changed the dose of pioglitazone or vitamin E within 6 months (180 days) prior to starting the study drug, or within 3 months (90 days) prior to liver biopsy until starting the study drug
15. Patients who regularly use oral steroids or injectable steroids
16. Patients who are participating or intend to participate in other clinical studies using the study drug while participating in this study
17. If, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, or others, participation in the research is not in the best interest of the research subject (e.g., to the detriment of the welfare of the research subject), or if it is judged to interfere with, limit, or confuse the specific evaluation of the clinical research protocol

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
1. Resolution of NASH (defined by the NASH Clinical Research Network as no more than mild residual inflammatory cells [score of 0 or 1] and no hepatocyte ballooning [score of 0]) without worsening of liver fibrosis (with worsening defined as an increase of one stage or more on the Kleiner fibrosis classification scale) after 52 weeks, in line with regulatory perspectives<br>2. Improvement of at least one point in NAFLD activity score and no worsening of NASH without worsening of liver fibrosis<br>3. Improvement of at least one fibrosis stage and no worsening of NASH (with worsening defined as an increase of 1 point or more in either the lobular inflammation score or the hepatocyte ballooning score according to the NASH Clinical Research Network criteria)
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
1. Proportion of cases with progression of liver fibrosis (improvement/instability/worsening)<br>2. Change from baseline in liver stiffness according to FibroScan<br>3. Change from baseline in steatosis according to FibroScan<br>4. Change from baseline in weight, BMI, and body composition<br>5. Change from baseline in HbA1c<br>6. Change from baseline in liver enzymes (AST, ALT, GGT)
