Eligibility criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria:

Historical liver biopsy consistent with NASH with stage 2-3 fibrosis according to NASH Clinical Research Network (CRN) classification OR clinical diagnosis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and screening FibroTest, magnetic resonance imaging - proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF), and FibroScan
Screening laboratory parameters, as determined by central laboratory:
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 5 x upper limit of the normal range (ULN)
Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 30 milliliter/minute (mL/min), as calculated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) study equation
HbA1c ≤ 9.5%
International normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.2, unless due to therapeutic anti-coagulation therapy
Platelet count ≥ 100,000/μL
Total bilirubin < 1.3 x ULN unless alternate etiology such as Gilbert's syndrome present

Key Exclusion Criteria:

Any historical liver biopsy consistent with cirrhosis
Any history of decompensated liver disease, including ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, or variceal bleeding
Other causes of liver disease, including but not limited to: alcoholic liver disease, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, autoimmune disorders (eg, primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), autoimmune hepatitis), drug-induced hepatotoxicity, Wilson disease, clinically significant iron overload, or alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency requiring treatment
History of liver transplantation
History of hepatocellular carcinoma
History of pancreatitis (acute or chronic)
Personal or first degree relative(s) history of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 or medullary thyroid carcinoma
Treatment with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) in the period from 90 days prior to the date of the Screening Visit
Individuals on antidiabetic medications must be on a stable dose for at least 90 days prior to the date of the Screening Visit and in the period between the date of the Screening Visit and Enrollment (Day -14)

Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
