Inclusion criteria

1. An understanding, ability, and willingness to fully comply with study procedures and restrictions. 2. Ability to voluntarily provide written, signed, and dated (personally or via a legally authorized representative, as applicable) informed consent to participate in the study. 3. Age 18-80 years inclusive. This inclusion criterion will only be assessed at the first screening visit. 4. Male, or non-pregnant, non-lactating female, who is sexually active and who agrees to comply with the contraceptive requirements of the protocol, or females of non-childbearing potential. Males and females of child-bearing potential who are sexually active must agree to use acceptable contraception during the study and for 30 days following the last dose of the investigational product (IP). 5. 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).

Exclusion criteria

1. Presence of or history of cirrhosis or evidence of decompensated liver disease (example: ascites, variceal bleeding, etc.) or hepatocellular carcinoma. 2. History or presence of other concomitant liver disease as assessed by the investigator or determined by laboratory findings including, but not limited to: active hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (hepatitis B surface antigen \[HBsAg\] positive and/or hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid (HBVDNA) positive; subjects who are hepatitis B core antibody \[HBcAb\] positive may be eligible as long as HBsAg is negative and HBVDNA is non detectable), active hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (prior exposure to HCV \[defined as HCVAb positive\] without a current or prior history of a detectable HCVRNA) may be eligible, alcoholic liver disease, proven autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), hemochromatosis, Wilson's disease, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, bile duct obstruction, liver primary or metastatic cancer. 3.

Weight change \>=5% after qualifying liver biopsy and/or MRI performed. If the subject had a liver biopsy and/or MRI within 6 months of screening, but experienced a weight change of \>=5% since the date of liver biopsy and/or MRI, the liver biopsy and/or MRI must be repeated at screening. 5. Contraindications to MRI (e.g, claustrophobia, coronary stents, coronary implantable devices, girth, etc.). Stents or other devices may be allowed, at the investigator's discretion, if they do not interfere with the functioning of the MRI machine. 6.

Treatment with Vitamin E, thiazolidinediones (TZD), or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) unless subject on a stable dose for 6 months prior to qualifying liver biopsy and not initiated after qualifying liver biopsy and will continue the same dosing regimen throughout study participation. 8. Uncontrolled diabetes defined as HbA1c of \>=9.5% within 60 days prior to enrollment. 9. Current use of any medication (including over-the-counter, herbal, or homeopathic preparations) that could affect the action, absorption, or disposition of the IP, or clinical or laboratory assessment. (Current use is defined as use within 14 days of screening). Subjects currently taking insulin will not be excluded; however, they must be on a stable dose for at least 30 days prior to screening, or a sliding scale of insulin is allowed as long as the subject's HbA1c remains less than (\<) 9.5%. 10.

Number of Subjects Achieving Binary Response on Liver Histology Between Volixibat (SHP626) and Placebo at Week 48

Binary response indicating (yes/no) whether a subject responded at week 48 with a reduction of at least 2 points, without worsening of fibrosis, from baseline nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) activity score (NAS). The NAS grades NAFLD on liver biopsy based on the individual scoring of steatosis, inflammation and ballooning. The NAS is assessed on a scale of 0 to 8 with higher scores indicating more severe disease and lower scores indicating less severe disease. NAS is obtained by adding steatosis(assessed on a scale of 0 to 3), inflammation (assessed on a scale of 0 to 3) and ballooning (assessed on a scale of 0 to 2).
