Brief summary

The primary objectives of this study are: * To assess the safety and tolerability of selonsertib (SEL), firsocostat (FIR) and cilofexor (CILO), administered alone or in combination, in participants with bridging fibrosis or compensated cirrhosis due to NASH * To evaluate changes in liver fibrosis, without worsening of NASH

Percentage of Participants Experiencing Treatment-Emergent Laboratory AbnormalitiesFirst dose date up to 48 weeks plus 30 daysTreatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities were defined as values that increase at least one toxicity grade from baseline. Participants with any laboratory abnormality were reported.
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a ≥ 1-Stage Improvement in Fibrosis Without Worsening of NASH at Week 48Week 48Fibrosis improvement was defined as ≥ 1-stage decrease from baseline in fibrosis according to the NASH clinical research network classification (CRN) classification. Worsening of NASH was defined as ≥ 1-point increase from baseline in hepatocellular ballooning or lobular inflammation. The 95% CI was based on the Clopper-Pearson method.

Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a ≥ 1-Stage Improvement in Fibrosis Without Worsening of NASH at Week 48

Fibrosis improvement was defined as ≥ 1-stage decrease from baseline in fibrosis according to the NASH clinical research network classification (CRN) classification. Worsening of NASH was defined as ≥ 1-point increase from baseline in hepatocellular ballooning or lobular inflammation. The 95% CI was based on the Clopper-Pearson method.
