4 using NASH CRN Scoring System.

- Able and willing to comply with all study assessments, including a liver biopsy at
Week 52.
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
75 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
- Current alcohol consumption =14 standard drinks (24 units, 196 g ethanol) per week for
females or =21 standard drinks (37 units, 294g ethanol) per week for males.

- Weight reduction surgery or procedures (including gastric banding and intragastric
balloon insertion) within 2 years of Screening 1 and/or planned during the study.

- History of cancer within previous 2 years from Screening 1, except basal or squamous
cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ cervical carcinoma or any other type of cancer
which has been treated medically or surgically with curative outcome.
