Percent Change From Baseline (CFB) in Percent (%) Liver Fat as Assessed Via Magnetic Resonance Imaging Using Proton Density Fat Fraction Acquisition (MRI-PDFF) at Week 6
Baseline, Week 6

MRI-PDFF technique is an established method that enables quantification of fat content in the liver. It measures the fraction of mobile protons in the liver attributable to fat content and provides whole liver coverage so that fat content can be assessed across 8 Couinaud liver segments. Whole liver PDFF = the sum of PDFFs for (Segment I + Segment II + Segment III + Segment IVa + Segment IVb + Segment V + Segment VI + Segment VII + Segment VIII) divided by (number of segments assessed and no missing/mapping at Baseline, and on Week 6). If some segments did not have results reported at Baseline and/or Week 6, liver PDFF was to be calculated using data in segments that had data available at both Baseline visit and Week 6 visit. For this outcome measure (OM), baseline is defined as the assessment undertaken between Visit 3/Week -2 and Visit 4/Day 1.
