NASH resolution: disappearance of ballooning (Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease \[NAFLD\] Activity Score \[NAS\] ballooning score=0;0=no ballooning,1=few balloon cells,2=many cells with prominent ballooning; higher scores(HS)=more disease activity \[DA\]),residual/no lobular inflammation(NAS lobular inflammation score 0/1,0=no foci,1= \<2 foci, 2=2-4 foci,3= \>4 foci; HS=more DA),NAS steatosis score 0,1,2,3; 0= \<5% hepatocytes involved (HI),1=5-33% HI ,2= 34-66% HI, 3= \>66% HI; HS=more DA. No worsening of fibrosis: no change/decrease of at least 1 stage in Brunt-Kleiner scale (BKS) compared to baseline (CTB). Improvement in fibrosis by \>=1 stage: decrease of at least 1 stage in BKS CTB. No worsening of NASH: no change/increase in NAS for ballooning, inflammation, steatosis CTB. BDRM utilized to characterize dose response across BID treatment groups, estimate posterior mean proportion (\& 90% credible interval \[CI\], indicated as 'confidence interval' below) for placebo and each BID dose studied.

Resolution of NASH: disappearance of ballooning (NAS ballooning score= 0; where 0= no ballooning, 1= few balloon cells, 2= many cells with prominent ballooning; higher scores= more disease activity), residual or no lobular inflammation (NAS lobular inflammation score 0 or 1, where 0= no foci, 1= \<2 foci, 2= 2-4 foci, 3= \>4 foci; higher scores= more disease activity), NAS steatosis score 0, 1, 2, or 3, where 0= \<5% hepatocytes involved, 1= 5-33% hepatocytes involved, 2= 34-66% hepatocytes involved, 3= \>66% hepatocytes involved; higher scores= more disease activity. No worsening of fibrosis: no change or decrease of at least 1 stage in BKS compared to baseline. Improvement in fibrosis by \>=1 stage: decrease of at least 1 stage in BKS compared to baseline. No worsening of NASH: no change or increase in NAS for ballooning, inflammation, steatosis compared to baseline.
