Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Able and willing to understand and sign a written informed consent form (ICF) that must be obtained prior to the initiation of study procedures

  • Age >=18 through <=75 years at enrolment

  • History or presence of 2 or more of the 5 components of metabolic syndrome per American Heart Association definition

  • History or presence of known or suspected MASH

Exclusion Criteria:

  • ALT or AST >=5 × upper limit of normal (ULN)

  • Total bilirubin (BILI) >=1.3 milligram per deciliter (mg/dL). Individuals with documented Gilbert's syndrome may be enrolled if they experienced an isolated increase in total BILI of >=1.3 mg/dL and direct BILI is <=20% of total BILI; otherwise, the individual will be excluded.

  • Serum albumin <=3.5 grams per deciliter (g/dL)

  • International normalized ratio (INR) >=1.3 not due to therapeutic anticoagulation. Individuals receiving chronic anticoagulant treatment with higher INR values may be enrolled at the discretion of the Investigator and Study Medical Monitor.

  • Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) >=2 × ULN

  • Platelet (PLT) count <140 000 per (/) cubic millimeter (mm^3); individuals with a PLT count between 110,000/mm^3 and 140,000/mm^3 may be enrolled after discussion with the Study Medical Monitor

  • Serum creatinine >=1.5 mg/dL or creatinine clearance <=60 milliliter (mL)/minute (min)/1.73 square meter by Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation.

  • HbA1c >=9.0%

  • Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) 3.0 score >=12 unless the score is elevated in the absence of liver dysfunction (eg, Gilbert's syndrome)

  • Phosphatidylethanol (PEth) >=80 nanogram per milliliter (ng/mL) at Screening

  • Known co-infection with any of the following: a. Human immunodeficiency virus; b. Hepatitis B virus; c. Hepatitis C virus (HCV); d. Hepatitis D virus; or e. Hepatitis E virus.

  • Chronic liver disease from any other cause including, but not limited to, alcoholic liver disease; evidence of portal hypertension; viral hepatitis, or any history or evidence of cirrhosis; or decompensated liver disease such as clinical ascites, bleeding gastroesophageal varices, hepatorenal syndrome, or hepatic encephalopathy prior to Screening or Day 1.

  • Current or history of excessive alcohol intake for >=3 months within the 12-month period prior to Screening
