< 50 mg/dL (female)

- Blood pressure = 130/85 mmHg (or currently being treated for hypertension)

- Fasting plasma glucose = 6.1 mmol/L (110 mg/dL)

3. Bridging fibrosis (NASH CRN Stage 3) and/or definite NASH (NAS = 5)

- Agree to have one liver biopsy at Screening, one at Year 1, and one at the end of
study treatment (Year 2)

Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
- Hepatitis B surface Antigen (HBsAg) positive

- Hepatitis C antibody (HCVAb) positive with the following 2 exceptions:

1. Participants previously treated for viral hepatitis C with at least a 1-year
period since documented sustained virologic response at Week 12 (post-treatment)
may be eligible if all other eligibility criteria are met

2. Participants with presence of hepatitis C antibody but negative hepatitis C virus
ribonucleic acid RNA without treatment (i.e., spontaneous clearance) may be
eligible if all other eligibility criteria are met

- Prior or planned liver transplantation

- Other known causes of chronic liver disease, including alcoholic liver disease

- History of cirrhosis and/or hepatic decompensation including ascites, hepatic
encephalopathy or variceal bleeding

- Alcohol consumption greater than 21 units/week for males or 14 units/week for females

conduct of the study (including gastric banding)

- Females who are pregnant or breastfeeding

- Any other clinically significant disorders or prior therapy that, in the opinion of
the investigator, would make the participant unsuitable for the study or unable to
comply with the dosing and protocol requirements.
