What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Relative change from Baseline in liver-fat content assessed by MRI-PDFF compared to Baseline.
Time Frame: Baseline Day 1 up to Week 24
Baseline Day 1 up to Week 24

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from Baseline in aspartate aminotransferase (AST).
Time Frame: Baseline Day 1 up to Week 24
Baseline Day 1 up to Week 24
Change from Baseline in alanine aminotransferase (ALT).
Time Frame: Baseline Day 1 up to Week 24
Baseline Day 1 up to Week 24
Change from Baseline in gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT).
Time Frame: Baseline Day 1 up to Week 24
Baseline Day 1 up to Week 24
Change from baseline in enhanced liver fibrosis score (ELF).
Time Frame: Baseline Day 1 up to Week 24
ELF numerical values are calculated from serum measurements of hyaluronic acid (HA), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1), and type III procollagen (PIIINP) using the formula: ELF score = 2.494 + 0.846 In [HA] + 0.735 In [PIIINP] + 0.391 In [TIMP-1], and range on a continuous scale. Liver fibrosis is unlikely with scores <6.7 and increasingly likely with higher scores.
Baseline Day 1 up to Week 24
