Eligibility
Who can enroll
Inclusion criteria
1. Male or female adults ≥18 years of age at the time of screening, and at least the legal age of consent in countries where it is >18 years
2. Body mass index (BMI) ≥27 kg/m2(≥25 kg/m2 for Asian trial participants)
3. Compensated metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) cirrhosis.
4. Magnetic resonance imaging proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) fat fraction ≥5% or FibroScan® with controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) ≥288 dB/m, obtained during the screening period or a historic MRI-PDFF ≤12 weeks prior to randomisation (except for patients with 'cryptogenic cirrhosis' where MRI-PDFF <5% or FibroScan® with CAP <288 dB/m is allowed). This inclusion criterion does not apply for participants with a recent (≤12 months prior to randomisation) liver biopsy showing steatosis/steatohepatitis.
5. Further inclusion criteria apply.
Exclusion criteria
1. Current or history (<5 years) of significant alcohol consumption, defined as an average of >140 g/week in female patients and >210 g/week in male patients, for a period of >3 consecutive months, or an inability to reliably quantify alcohol consumption based upon judgment of the investigator.
2. Model of end-stage liver Disease (MELD) score >12 due to liver disease
3. History or current (i.e. at screening) hepatic decompensation event of any of the following but not limited to:
4. Any of the following lab test result at screening
5. History or evidence of other chronic liver diseases, such as primary biliary cholangitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, autoimmune hepatitis or overlap syndrome, Wilson's disease, alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency, or genetic haemochromatosis
6. Hepatitis B positive (defined as positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)) or history of chronic HBV infection
7. Hepatitis C positive (defined as positive hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody and a positive HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA))
8. Serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and/or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >5x ULN
9. Evidence of alcoholic liver disease, or drug-induced liver disease, as defined on the basis of typical exposure and history
10. History of liver transplantation or listed for liver transplantation
11. History of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) or other radiological/surgical procedure for portal hypertension treatment
12. Further exclusion criteria apply
