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 1Year 1Hepatic 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.

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

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.

Time frame: Year 1

Population: Intent-to-treat (ITT) population included all randomized participants regardless of starting treatment.

Change From Baseline in Biomarkers of Hepatocyte Apoptosis: Caspase Cleaved (CK-18 [M-30]) Levels and Total M-65 (CK-18 [M-65]) Levels at Months 15, 18 and 24

Caspase-cleaved cytokeratin levels (CK18M30) and total M-65 (CK-18 \[M-65\]) were measured as biomarkers of hepatocyte apoptosis. A negative change from Baseline indicates decreased hepatocyte apoptosis.

Time frame: Baseline (Month 0) to Months 15, 18 and 24

Population: FAS in Year 2 included all participants who were randomized and received at least 1 dose of study drug, had a measurable Screening biopsy, and had no major eligibility violations. Number analyzed is the number of participants with data available for analysis at both Baseline and the given time-point.

Change From Baseline in Non-invasive Marker of Hepatic Fibrosis: Hyaluronic Acid at Months 18 and 24

Hyaluronic acid is a non-invasive hepatic fibrosis marker. A positive change from Baseline indicates increased fibrosis.

Time frame: Baseline (Month 0) to Months 18 and 24

Population: FAS in Year 2 included all participants who were randomized and received at least 1 dose of study drug, had a measurable Screening biopsy, and had no major eligibility violations.

Change From Baseline in Non-invasive Markers of Hepatic Fibrosis: Enhanced Liver Fibrosis Test (ELF) Score at Months 18 and 24

The markers of fibrosis assessed in this test comprised hyaluronic acid (CHA), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (CTIMP1) and procollagen III N-terminal peptide (CP3NP); these are components of the extracellular matrix and basement sinusoidal membrane of the liver and are elevated during activation of the stellate cell. The ELF tests were performed on Centaur device and the composite score was calculated as follows: ELF score = 2.278 + 0.851 ln(CHA) + 0.751 ln (CP3NP) + 0.394 ln(CTIMP1). ELF score \< 7.7: no to mild fibrosis; ≥ 7.7 - \< 9.8: Moderate fibrosis; ≥ 9.8 - \< 11.3: Severe fibrosis; ≥ 11.3: Cirrhosis. A negative change from Baseline indicates decreased fibrosis.

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

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.

Number of Participants With Complete Resolution of Steatohepatitis With no Concurrent Worsening of Fibrosis Stage at 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.

Time frame: Year 1

Population: ITT population included all randomized participants regardless of starting treatment.

Number of Participants With Deaths, Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), TEAEs Leading Study Drug to Discontinuation

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.

Time frame: Years 1 and 2

Number of Participants With Hepatic Histological Improvement in NAS at Year 2

Hepatic histological improvement in NAS at Year 2 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.

Time frame: Year 2

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS) in Year 2 included all participants who were randomized and received at least 1 dose of study drug, had a measurable Screening biopsy, and had no major eligibility violations.
