Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Aged greater than or equal to 18 years at the time of signing informed consent. - Histological evidence of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) based on a central pathologist evaluation of the baseline liver biopsy. The baseline liver biopsy can be a historical biopsy obtained within 180 days prior to visit 1. - Histological evidence of fibrosis stage 2, 3 or 4 according to the Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Clinical Research Network (NASH CRN) classification based on a central pathologist evaluation of the baseline liver biopsy. - Histological non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) activity score (NAS) greater than or equal to 4 for subjects with F2/F3 or greater than or equal to 3 for subjects with F4 based on a central pathologist evaluation of the baseline liver biopsy. All subjects must have a score of 1 or more in steatosis, lobular inflammation and hepatocyte ballooning. Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 504 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 168

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Documented causes of chronic liver disease other than NAFLD. - Positive Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), positive anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), positive hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) at screening visit 2A (V2A) or any known presence of HCV RNA or HBsAg within 2 years of screening (V2A). - Presence or history of ascites more than grade 1, variceal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis or liver transplantation at V2A. - Presence or history of gastro-oesophageal varices greater than or equal to grade 2 at V2A. For subjects with F4, an oesophagogastroduodenoscopy performed no more than 52 weeks prior to V2A must be available at V2A. - Known or suspected excessive consumption of alcohol (greater than 20 g/day for women or greater than 30 g/day for men) or alcohol dependence (assessed by the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT questionnaire)). - Treatment with vitamin E (at doses greater than or equal to 800 IU/day) or pioglitazone or medications approved for the treatment of NASH which has not been at a stable dose in the opinion of the investigator in the period from 90 days prior to V2A. In addition, for subjects with a historical liver biopsy taken more than 90 days prior to V2A, treatment should be at a stable dose in the opinion of the investigator from time of biopsy until V2A. - Treatment with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RAs) within 90 days prior to V2A. Subjects with a historical liver biopsy taken more than 90 days prior to V2A are excluded if they receive treatment with GLP-1 RAs from time of biopsy until V2A. - Treatment with glucose-lowering agent(s) (other than GLP-1 RAs), lipid-lowering medication or weight loss medication not stable in the opinion of the investigator in the period from 90 days prior to V2A. In addition, for subjects with a historical liver biopsy taken more than 90 days prior to V2A, treatment should be at a stable dose in the opinion of the investigator from time of biopsy until V2A.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To confirm the effect of NNC0194-0499 30 mg once weekly in combination with semaglutide 2.4 mg once weekly versus placebo once weekly on fibrosis in subjects with NASH and fibrosis stage 2-4 (F2- F4).;Secondary Objective: In subjects with NASH and F2-F4: • To investigate the dose-response relationship of NNC0194-0499 (7.5 mg, 15 mg and 30 mg) once weekly in combination with semaglutide 2.4 mg once weekly on liver histology and tolerability. • To investigate the safety and tolerability of NNC0194-0499 30 mg once weekly alone, NC0194-0499 7.5 mg, 15 mg and 30 mg once weekly in combination with semaglutide 2.4 mg once weekly and NNC0174-0833 2.4 mg once weekly in combination with semaglutide 2.4 mg once weekly.;Primary end point(s): Improvement in liver fibrosis and no worsening of NASH (Improvement in fibrosis is defined as greater than or equal to 1 grade improvement on the NASH CRN fibrosis scale. No worsening of NASH is defined as no increase from baseline in NAS score for ballooning, inflammation or steatosis.) (Yes/No).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From baseline (week 0) to week 52.
