MeasureTime frameDescription
Percent Change From Baseline in Whole Liver Fat at Week 6Baseline and Week 6The percent change from baseline in whole liver fat at Week 6 was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF). MRI-PDFF generates measures of the fraction of mobile protons in the liver attributable to fat content and provides whole liver coverage so that fat content can be assessed across 8 Couinaud liver segments. Whole liver PDFF was calculated as follows: Whole Liver PDFF= PDFFs for (Segment I+Segment II+Segment III+Segment IVa+Segment IVb+Segment V+Segment VI+Segment+VII+Segment VIII) / (number of segments assessed). The same segments were to be used at both baseline and post-baseline time points in the calculation of whole liver PDFF to derive the percent change from baseline. The values of whole liver PDFF ranges from 0 to 100 and higher values represent higher liver fat.

Percent Change From Baseline in Whole Liver Fat at Week 6

The percent change from baseline in whole liver fat at Week 6 was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF). MRI-PDFF generates measures of the fraction of mobile protons in the liver attributable to fat content and provides whole liver coverage so that fat content can be assessed across 8 Couinaud liver segments. Whole liver PDFF was calculated as follows: Whole Liver PDFF= PDFFs for (Segment I+Segment II+Segment III+Segment IVa+Segment IVb+Segment V+Segment VI+Segment+VII+Segment VIII) / (number of segments assessed). The same segments were to be used at both baseline and post-baseline time points in the calculation of whole liver PDFF to derive the percent change from baseline. The values of whole liver PDFF ranges from 0 to 100 and higher values represent higher liver fat.

Time frame: Baseline and Week 6

Population: The efficacy analysis population was defined as all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of randomized treatment and assessed by MRI-PDFF at Week 6.
