Fibrosis improvement was defined as ≥ 1-stage decrease from baseline in fibrosis according to the NASH clinical research network (CRN) classification. Worsening of NASH was defined as ≥ 1-point increase from baseline in hepatocellular ballooning or lobular inflammation. Clopper-Pearson method was used in outcome measure analysis in each arm. Percentages were rounded-off.
Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were defined as, any AEs with an onset date on or after the study drug start date and no later than 30 days after permanent discontinuation of study drug or any AEs leading to premature discontinuation of study drug. Participants were assessed for AEs according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.
Treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities, defined as values that increase at least one toxicity grade from baseline at any time post-baseline up to and including the date of last dose of study drug plus 30 days, were summarized by treatment group. Graded laboratory abnormalities were defined using the grading scheme in the CTCAE 5.0.
