入选标准
- •Males and non-pregnant, non-lactating females between 18 - 75 years of age inclusive, based on the date of the screening visit.
- •Previous history or presence of 2 out of 4 components of metabolic syndrome (obesity, dyslipidemia, elevated blood pressure, elevated fasting glucose) or type 2 diabetes.
- •FibroScan measurement > 8.5 kPa [kilopascal].
- •Biopsy-proven NASH. Must have had a liver biopsy obtained ≤ 180 days prior to randomization with fibrosis stage 2 to 3 and a non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) activity score (NAS) of ≥ 4 with at least a score of 1 in each of the following NAS components:
- •Steatosis (scored 0 to 3),
- •Ballooning degeneration (scored 0 to 2), and
- •Lobular inflammation (scored 0 to 3).
排除标准
- •Weight loss > 5% in the 3 months prior to screening until randomization or from the time of the diagnostic liver biopsy until randomization, whichever is longer.
- •Presence of cirrhosis on liver biopsy (stage 4 fibrosis).
- •Type 1 or uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes.
- •Other inclusion and exclusion criteria may apply.
