Inclusion criteria

1. Male or female participants ≥18 years (or who are of legal age in countries where that is greater than 18 years) of age at time of consent

2. Diagnosis of MASH (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)) activity score [NAS] ≥4

4. Be willing to maintain a stable diet and physical activity levels throughout the entire trial Further inclusion criteria apply

Exclusion criteria
