Change From Baseline in NIS4 Score at Week 24 and Week 96
Change from Baseline in NIS4 score in EFX vs placebo groups NIS4 scores range from 0 to 1 and are calculated by combining the results of four individual biomarker assays \[miR34a-5p, α2-macroglobulin (A2M), YKL-40 and HbA1c\] each of which contributes to the test's ability to detect liver inflammation and/or fibrosis. \>0.63: Higher risk of NASH or advanced fibrosis 0.37-0.63: Moderate risk, and additional testing may be considered \<0.36: Lower risk of of NASH or advanced fibrosis
