Inclusion criteria

1. Males or females aged from 18 to 75 years inclusive at first screening visit. 2. Must provide signed written informed consent and agree to comply with the study protocol. 3. Females participating in this study must be of nonchildbearing potential or using highly efficient contraception for the full duration of the study and for 1 month after the end of treatment, as described below: 1. Cessation of menses for at least 12 months due to ovarian failure, 2. Surgical sterilization such as bilateral oopherectomy, hysterectomy, or medically documented ovarian failure 3. If requested by local IRB regulations and/or National laws, sexual abstinence may be considered adequate (the reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient) 4. Using a highly effective nonhormonal method of contraception (bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomized partner, or intra-uterine device) 5. Double contraception with barrier AND highly effective hormonal method of contraception (oral, intravaginal, or transdermal combined estrogen and progestogen hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation; oral, injectable, or implantable progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation; or intrauterine hormone-releasing system). The hormonal contraception must be started at least 1 month prior to Randomization. 4. Histological confirmation of steatohepatitis on a diagnostic liver biopsy by central reading of the slides (biopsy obtained within 6 months prior to randomization or during the screening period) with at least 1 in each component of the NAS score (steatosis scored 0-3, ballooning degeneration scored 0-2, and lobular inflammation scored 0-3). 5. NAS score ≥4. 6. Fibrosis stage of 1 or greater and below 4, according to the NASH CRN fibrosis staging system. 7. Stable dose of vitamin E, polyunsaturated fatty acids, or ursodeoxycholic acid from at least 6 months prior to diagnostic liver biopsy 8. For participants with type 2 diabetes, glycemia must be controlled. If glycemia is controlled by antidiabetic drugs, change in anti-diabetic therapy must follow these requirements: 1. No qualitative change 6 months prior to diagnostic liver biopsy up to Randomization (i.e., implementation of a new anti-diabetic therapy) for participants treated with metformin, gliptins, sulfonylureas, sodium/glucose cotransporter (SGLT) 2 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 agonists, or insulin. Dose changes of these medications are allowed in the 6 months prior to diagnostic liver biopsy, except for GLP-1 agonists, which must remain on stable dose in the 6 months prior to diagnostic liver biopsy. 2. No implementation of GLP-1 agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors up to 72 weeks of treatment (Visit 7). Initiation of any other antidiabetic drugs is allowed after Randomization based on treating physicians' judgment, except for glitazones which are prohibited 6 months prior to diagnostic liver biopsy until the end of treatment.

Exclusion criteria

1. Known heart failure (Grade I to IV of New York Heart Association classification). 2. History of efficient bariatric surgery within 5 years prior to screening. 3. Uncontrolled hypertension during the Screening Period despite optimal antihypertensive therapy 4. Type 1 diabetes participants . 5. Participants with decompensated diabetes (HbA1c\>9%). 6. Participants with a history of clinically significant acute cardiac event within 6 months prior to screening 7. Weight loss of more than 5% within 6 months prior to randomization 8. Compensated and decompensated cirrhosis 9. Current or recent history (\<5 years) of significant alcohol consumption 10. Pregnant or lactating females or females planning to become pregnant during the study period. 11. Other well documented causes of chronic liver disease according to standard diagnostic procedures 12. Participants with previous exposure to Elafibranor 13. Prohibited concomitant medication 14. Any medical conditions that may diminish life expectancy to less than 2 years including known cancers. 15. Evidence of any other unstable or untreated clinically significant immunological, endocrine, hematological, gastrointestinal, neurological, neoplastic or psychiatric disease. 16. Mental instability or incompetence, such that the validity of informed consent or ability to be compliant with the study is uncertain. 17. Participants with biological criteria exclusion as per effective protocol

Change From Baseline of Low-density Lipoprotein (LDL) Cholesterol After 72 Weeks of Treatment in Elafibranor-treated Participants Relative to Placebo

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol was tested at Week 72. Changes from baseline in LDL cholesterol were evaluated at Week 72. As the primary efficacy objective was not met, the secondary efficacy endpoints were not formally tested. This outcome measure is for the surrogate endpoint analysis.

Time frame: Measurements after 72 weeks of treatment and up to study termination

Population: Intent-to-Treat Set: a cohort of randomized F2 to F3 participants who completed the Week 72 treatment period or discontinued the study treatment early.

Change From Baseline of Non-high Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol After 72 Weeks of Treatment in Elafibranor-treated Participants Relative to Placebo

Non-high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol was tested at Week 72. Changes from baseline in non-HDL cholesterol were evaluated at Week 72. As the primary efficacy objective was not met, the secondary efficacy endpoints were not formally tested. This outcome measure is for the surrogate endpoint analysis.

Change From Baseline of Triglycerides After 72 Weeks of Treatment in Elafibranor-treated Participants Relative to Placebo

Triglycerides was tested at Week 72. Changes from baseline in triglycerides were evaluated at Week 72. As the primary efficacy objective was not met, the secondary efficacy endpoints were not formally tested. This outcome measure is for the surrogate endpoint analysis.

Number of Elafibranor-treated Participants Relative to Placebo Achieving Improvement of Fibrosis of at Least 1 Stage

To evaluate the effect of Elafibranor compared to placebo on liver histology in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) participants by assessing the following endpoint: The number of Elafibranor-treated participants relative to placebo achieving improvement of liver fibrosis of at least 1 stage according to NASH Clinical Research Network (CRN) Scoring. As the primary efficacy objective was not met, the secondary efficacy endpoints were not formally tested. This outcome measure is for the surrogate endpoint analysis.

Time frame: Measurements at 72 weeks

Population: Intent-to-Treat Set: For the purpose of analysis sets aligned with efficacy summaries, a cohort of randomized F2 to F3 participants who completed the Week 72 treatment period or discontinued the study treatment early were considered.
