02Eligibility
Who can take part
Key Inclusion Criteria: * Liver biopsy consistent with cirrhosis (F4) due to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in the opinion of the central reader. In individuals who have never had a liver biopsy, a screening liver biopsy may be performed. * Screening laboratory parameters as determined by the study central laboratory: * Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m\^2, as calculated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation. * Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≤ 10% * International normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.4, unless due to therapeutic anticoagulation * Platelet count ≥ 125,000/µL * Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \< 5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) * Serum albumin ≥ 3.5 g/dL * Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≤ 2 x ULN * Body mass index (BMI) ≥ 23 kg/m\^2 at screening. Key Exclusion Criteria: * Prior history of decompensated liver disease, including ascites, hepatic encephalopathy (HE), or variceal bleeding. * Child-Pugh (CP) score \> 6 at screening, unless due to an alternative etiology such as Gilbert's syndrome or therapeutic anticoagulation. * Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) score \> 12 at screening, unless due to an alternative etiology such as therapeutic anticoagulation. * Other causes of liver disease based on medical history and/or central reader review of liver histology, including but not limited to: alcoholic liver disease, autoimmune disorders (eg, primary biliary cholangitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, autoimmune hepatitis), drug-induced hepatotoxicity, Wilson disease, clinically significant iron overload, or alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency. * Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (HBsAg positive), or Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (HCV antibody and HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) positive). Individuals cured of HCV infection less than 2 years prior to the screening visit are not eligible. * History of liver transplantation. * Current or prior history of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). * Men who habitually drink greater than 21 units/week of alcohol or women who habitually drink greater than 14 units/week of alcohol (1 unit is equivalent to 12 ounce (oz)/360 mL of beer, a 4 oz/120 mL glass of wine, or 1 oz/30 mL of hard liquor). * For individuals on vitamin E regimen ≥ 800 IU/day, or pioglitazone, dose must be stable, in the opinion of the investigator for at least 180 days prior to the historical or screening liver biopsy. * For individuals on medications for diabetes, dose must be stable, in the opinion of the investigator, for at least 90 days prior to the historical or screening liver biopsy. * History of type 1 diabetes. * Treatment with a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) in the period from 90 days prior to the screening visit and for individuals with a qualifying historical liver biopsy, for 90 days prior to the date of the historical liver biopsy. * For individuals who have not completed a series of an authorized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination regimen prior to screening, a positive result for COVID-19 on severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-coronavirus 2 (CoV-2) reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test. Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
