Presence of greater than equals to (\>=) 5 percent (%) steatosis on screening magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) from a centrally read radiologist performed either during the screening period or within 6 months prior to the first visit. 6. Histologic confirmation of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) without cirrhosis (F0-F3) from a centrally read liver biopsy performed either during the screening period or within 6 months prior to the first visit with a NAS of \>=4 with a score of at least 1 in each component (steatosis, lobular inflammation, and hepatocyte ballooning).

Number of Participants With Resolution of NASH at Week 48
Resolution of NASH is defined as total absence of ballooning \[score = 0\], absent or mild inflammation \[score 0-1\], steatosis can be present \[score 0-3\]) without worsening of fibrosis as assessed by liver histology at Week 48.
Time frame: Week 48
Population: Safety Analysis Set for subjects with liver biopsy at both Baseline and Week 48 (post hoc analysis) at the time of the interim analysis
