Study Summary

This is a multi-center evaluation of NGM282 in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study administered for 24 weeks in participants with histologically confirmed NASH and F2/F3 Fibrosis.

Primary Outcome

Liver biopsies were collected at baseline and Week 24 and read by a central pathologist using Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Clinical Research Network (NASH CRN) criteria. Fibrosis stages of F0, F1, F2, F3 and F4 are defined by NASH CRN criteria with F0 (minimal score) indicating no fibrosis and F4 (maximal score) indicating liver cirrhosis. Liver fibrosis response was defined as an improvement in liver fibrosis \>=1 stage with no worsening of steatohepatitis on liver biopsy at Week 24 compared wi
