- •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.
- •History of heavy alcohol consumption for greater than 6 months at any time prior to Screening.

- •Type 1 DM
- •Type 2 DM with unstable glycemic control or with major complications.
- •History of malignancy of any organ system (other than localized basal cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ cervical cancer), treated or untreated, within the 3 years prior to Screening 1, regardless of any evidence of local recurrence or metastasis.
- •Current, or history of known hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
- •Any major surgery within 3 months prior to Screening 1 or planned during the study
- •Any surgical or medical condition that might jeopardize the individual's safety or compliance with study procedures in the opinion of the investigator.

- •Poorly controlled hypertension.
- •Evidence of Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome or alcohol-related dementia.
- •Prior use of a Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) analogue, including efimosfermin, within the 6 months prior to Screening
- •Individuals with a history of resmetirom use within 3 months prior to Day 1 are to be excluded.
- •Concomitant use of investigational drugs for Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) or ALD.
- •Current or planned participation in any clinical trial of investigational therapies or medical devices.
- •Exceeding pre-defined laboratory parameters for Triglycerides, Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), International normalised ratio (INR), Albumin, Urine albumin-creatinine ratio (uACR) or Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c).
- •History of drug abuse within the 12 months prior to Day 1 or evidence of such abuse as indicated by laboratory assays conducted at Screening.
- •History of hypersensitivity (such as anaphylaxis or hepatotoxicity) to study intervention and/or its excipients, drugs of similar biological class, FGF21 protein analogs, Fc-fusion proteins, or other protein-based therapeutics.
- •Overt hepatic encephalopathy (West Haven grade >=2).

结局指标
主要结局
Change from Baseline in vibration-controlled transient elastography-liver stiffness measurement (VCTE-LSM)
时间窗: Baseline (Day 1) and up to Week 60
VCTE-LSM is a non-invasive test that uses vibration-controlled transient elastography to measure the stiffness of the liver in kilopascals (kPa)
Change from Baseline in model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score
时间窗: Baseline (Day 1) and up to Week 60
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.

- Number of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and TEAEs by severity(Up to Week 60)
- Number of participants with TEAEs leading to discontinuation and TEAEs leading to discontinuation by severity(Up to Week 60)
- Number of participants with Grade 3 and Grade 4 laboratory abnormalities(Up to Week 60)
- Change from Baseline in serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (International units per liter)(Baseline (Day 1) and up to Week 60)
- Change from Baseline in a blood test that helps predict the risk of disease progression in liver disease(Baseline (Day 1) and up to Week 52)
- Trough Concentration at steady state (Ctrough,ss) following administration of efimosfermin alfa(Up to Week 56)
- Area Under the concentration-time Curve from Time 0 (pre-dose) to the last quantifiable concentration (AUC[0-t]) of efimosfermin alfa in the subset of participants with optional intensive pharmacokinetics (PK) sampling(Up to Week 4)
- Maximum observed drug concentration (Cmax) of efimosfermin alfa in the subset of participants with optional intensive PK sampling(Up to Week 4)
- Number of participants with clinically significant changes in Vital signs(Up to Week 60)
