ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
Primary
Number of Participant With Hepatic Histological Improvement in NAS by ≥ 2 Points With at Least 1-Point Reduction in Either Lobular Inflammation or Hepatocellular Ballooning and no Concurrent Worsening of Fibrosis at Year 1
Year 1
Hepatic histological improvement in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Activity Score (NAS) at Year 1 was defined as a decrease (improvement) in NAS by ≥ 2 with at least a 1-point reduction in either lobular inflammation or hepatocellular ballooning and with no concurrent worsening of fibrosis stage. The NAS was derived as the unweighted sum of steatosis (0 to 3), lobular inflammation (0 to 3), and hepatocellular ballooning (0 to 2) scores. The NAS ranges from 0-8 with the higher score indicating more aggressive disease. Evaluation of fibrosis stage was based on the nonalcoholic steatohepatitis clinical research network (NASH CRN) fibrosis staging system, which was scaled from 0 to 4 stages where, 0=None to 4=Cirrhosis. Worsening of fibrosis stage was defined as progression of NASH CRN fibrosis stage.
Secondary
Number of Participants With Complete Resolution of Steatohepatitis With no Concurrent Worsening of Fibrosis Stage and Improvement in Fibrosis by at Least 1 Stage (NASH CRN System) and no Worsening of Steatohepatitis at Year 1
Year 1
Complete resolution of steatohepatitis was defined as histopathologic interpretation of no fatty liver disease, or simple or isolated steatosis with no steatohepatitis. As per NASH CRN system, no worsening of steatohepatitis was defined as no worsening of lobular inflammation or hepatocellular ballooning grade. The evaluation of fibrosis stage associated with NASH was based on the NASH CRN fibrosis staging system which was scaled from 0 to 4 stages where, 0=None to 4=Cirrhosis.
Secondary
Number of Participants With Complete Resolution of Steatohepatitis With no Concurrent Worsening of Fibrosis Stage and Improvement in Fibrosis by at Least 1 Stage (NASH CRN System) and no Worsening of Steatohepatitis at Year 2
Year 2
Complete resolution of steatohepatitis was defined as histopathologic interpretation of no fatty liver disease, or simple or isolated steatosis with no steatohepatitis. As per NASH CRN system, no worsening of steatohepatitis was defined as no worsening of lobular inflammation or hepatocellular ballooning grade. The evaluation of fibrosis stage associated with NASH was based on the NASH CRN fibrosis staging system which was scaled from 0 to 4 stages where, 0=None to 4=Cirrhosis.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Complete Resolution of Steatohepatitis With no Concurrent Worsening of Fibrosis Stage at Year 1Year 1
Complete resolution of steatohepatitis was defined as histopathologic interpretation of no fatty liver disease, or simple or isolated steatosis with no steatohepatitis.

The evaluation of fibrosis stage associated with NASH was based on the NASH CRN fibrosis staging system which was scaled from 0 to 4 stages where, 0=None to 4=Cirrhosis.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Complete Resolution of Steatohepatitis With no Concurrent Worsening of Fibrosis Stage at Year 2Year 2
Complete resolution of steatohepatitis was defined as histopathologic interpretation of no fatty liver disease, or simple or isolated steatosis with no steatohepatitis.

The evaluation of fibrosis stage associated with NASH was based on the NASH CRN fibrosis staging system which was scaled from 0 to 4 stages where, 0=None to 4=Cirrhosis.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Improvement in Fibrosis by at Least 1 Stage (NASH CRN System) and no Worsening of Steatohepatitis at Year 1Year 1
The evaluation of fibrosis stage associated with NASH was based on the NASH CRN Fibrosis Staging System which was scaled from 0 to 4 stages where, 0=None to 4=Cirrhosis. As per NASH CRN system, no worsening of steatohepatitis was defined as no worsening of lobular inflammation or hepatocellular ballooning grade.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Improvement in Fibrosis by at Least 1 Stage (NASH CRN System) and no Worsening of Steatohepatitis at Year 2Year 2
The evaluation of fibrosis stage associated with NASH was based on the NASH CRN Fibrosis Staging System which was scaled from 0 to 4 stages where, 0=None to 4=Cirrhosis. As per NASH CRN system, no worsening of steatohepatitis was defined as no worsening of lobular inflammation or hepatocellular ballooning grade.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Deaths, Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), TEAEs Leading Study Drug to DiscontinuationYears 1 and 2
A TEAE was defined as any adverse event that started or worsened on or after the start of the study medication and up to 30 days after the discontinuation of the study medication. An SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, was life threatening, requires hospitalization or results in prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, or was a congenital anomaly/birth defect.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes in Vital SignsYears 1 and 2Vital signs included blood pressure, temperature, heart rate, and respiration rate. Vital signs were reviewed by the Investigator for clinically significant changes.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Clinical Laboratory AbnormalitiesYears 1 and 2
Grade 3-4 abnormal clinical laboratory values that occurred in ≥2% participants were reported. Criteria used for various parameters was:Fasting glucose Grade3:\>250 - 500 mg/dL and Grade4: \>500 mg/dL; Alanine aminotransferase(ALT)Grade3:\>5.0 - 20.0 ×Upper Limit of Normal(ULN)and Grade4:\>20.0 ×ULN; Aspartate aminotransferase(AST)Grade3: \>5.0 - 20.0 ×ULN and Grade4: \>20.0 ×ULN; Activated partial thromboplastin(APT)/Partial thromboplastin time(PTT)Grade3: \>2.5×ULN; Triglycerides Grade3 \>500 - 1000 mg/dL and Grade4: \>1000 mg/dL; Gamma-glutamyl transferase(GGT)Grade3: \>5.0 - 20.0 ×ULN and Grade4: \>20.0 ×ULN; Creatine kinase Grade 3: \>5.0 - 10.0 ×ULN and Grade4: \>10.0 ×ULN; Uric acid Grade3:(ULN - 10 mg/dL; ULN - 0.59 mmol/L) and Grade4: \>10 mg/dL; Amylase Grade3: \>2.0 - 5.0 ×ULN and Grade4: \>5.0 ×ULN; Lipase Grade3: \>2.0 - 5.0 xULN and Grade4: \>5.0 xULN; Phosphorus Grade3: \<2.0 - 1.0 mg/dL and Grade4: \<1.0 mg/dL and Absolute neutrophil Grade3: \<1.0 - 0.5 × 109/L and Grade4: \<0.5 × 109/L.
