What the trial will measure

  • Part 1: Resolution of MASH without worsening of liver fibrosis on MASH Clinical Research Network (CRN) fibrosis scoreBaseline and at Week 52.
  • Part 1: At least a 1-point improvement in fibrosis stage with no worsening of MASHBaseline and at Week 52.
  • Part 2: Time to first occurrence of any of components of the composite endpoint consisting of progression to cirrhosis, all-cause mortality, liver transplant, hepatic decompensation event(s), worsening of MELD score to ≥15, progression to CSPHUp to 7 years.
