This is a 2-part, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Vonafexor in patients with NASH who likely have stage F2 to F3 fibrosis at approximately 50 global clinical sites. Overall, approximately 114 eligible patients will be enrolled: 24 patients in Part A (Safety Run-in Cohort), followed by 90 patients in Part B.
In Part A, 24 patients will be randomized on Day 1 to 1 of 4 parallel treatment groups: 100 mg Vonafexor twice daily (BID), 200 mg Vonafexor once daily (QD), 400 mg Vonafexor QD, or placebo BID. In Part B, 90 patients will be randomized on Day 1 to 1 of 3 parallel treatment groups: 100 mg Vonafexor QD, 200 mg Vonafexor QD, or placebo QD.
