Type of Participant and Disease Characteristics
2. Participants who are carriers for the PNPLA3 rs738409 148M risk allele.
3. Participants with histological evidence of NASH based on central pathologist evaluation of a liver biopsy obtained up to 6 months before randomisation, or during screening, fulfilling both criteria:
1. Definitive NASH with NAS ≥ 4 with ≥ 1 in each component (ie, steatosis, lobular inflammation, and ballooning).
<!-- -->

You may not be if
Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:
Medical Conditions
1. Liver disease of other aetiologies (eg, alcoholic steatohepatitis; drug-induced, viral or autoimmune hepatitis; primary biliary cirrhosis; primary sclerosing cholangitis; hemochromatosis; alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency; Wilson's disease)
2. History of cirrhosis and/or hepatic decompensation, including ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, or variceal bleeding.
3. Historical persistent or pre-existing renal disease marked by eGFR \< 40 mL/min/1.73 m2 (as defined by Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes guidelines).
4. Confirmed platelet count outside the normal range at the screening visit.
5. Any of the following confirmed at the screening visit:
1. ALT \> 5.0 × ULN
2. TBL \> 1.5 mg/dL (TBL \> 1.5 mg/dL is allowed if conjugated bilirubin is \< 1.5 × ULN)
3. INR \> 1.3
4. ALP \> 1.5 × ULN (unless the ALP elevation is not from hepatic origin as determined by a bone-specific ALP)
