Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of efimosfermin in participants with metabolic dysfunction associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and compensated cirrhosis consistent with stage F4 fibrosis.
Interventions
Efimosfermin will be administered as a subcutaneous injection.
Placebo will be administered as a subcutaneous injection.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of participants with treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) | From Day 1 to 100 weeks | To assess the effects of efimosfermin on safety and tolerability. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Serum concentrations of efimosfermin | Up to Week 21 | To assess the steady-state PK of efimosfermin. |
| Maximum serum drug concentration (Cmax) of efimosfermin | Up to Week 21 | To assess the steady-state PK of efimosfermin. |
| Area under the serum concentration-time curve (AUC) of efimosfermin | Up to Week 21 | To assess the steady-state PK of efimosfermin. |
| Average serum drug concentration (Cavg) of efimosfermin | Up to Week 21 | To assess the steady-state PK of efimosfermin. |
| Concentration of study drug at the end of the dosing interval (Ctrough) of efimosfermin | Up to Week 21 | To assess the steady-state PK of efimosfermin. |
