结局指标
主要结局
Time from randomization to an adjudicated composite liver-related clinical outcome
时间窗: From Randomization (Day 1) to 48 months
Liver-related outcome will comprised of all-cause mortality; transplantation; occurrence of significant hepatic events.
Proportion of participants experiencing improvement in fibrosis by >=1 stage and no worsening of steatohepatitis at Week 52
时间窗: At Week 52
Proportion of participants experiencing improvement in fibrosis of greater than or equal to (\>=) 1 stage by MASH clinical research network (CRN) fibrosis scores and no worsening of steatohepatitis (defined as no increase in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease activity score \[NAS\] for ballooning, inflammation, or steatosis) at 52 weeks will be assessed. MASH CRN fibrosis score ranges from 0 to 4, higher score indicates greater severity. NAS score ranges from 0 to 8, higher score indicates worse disease activity.
Proportion of participants experiencing resolution of steatohepatitis reading and no worsening of MASH CRN fibrosis score at Week 52
时间窗: At Week 52
Resolution of steatohepatitis is defined as absence of fatty liver disease or isolated or simple steatosis without steatohepatitis and a NAS of 0 or 1 for inflammation, 0 for ballooning, and any value for steatosis. NAS score ranges from 0 to 8, higher score indicates worse disease activity. MASH CRN fibrosis score ranges from 0 to 4, higher score indicates greater severity.
