Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of Participants With a Decrease of 2 Points in the Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Activity Score (NAS) Analysis is Per Protocol

    Number of Participants who had a decrease of 2 points in the Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Activity Score (NAS) from baseline at 40 weeks per protocol analysis. The score is performed on the liver biopsy before and after treatment. The total score is used with a range from 4-16. A decrease in the total score by 2 points or more is considered an improvement, while an increase in the total score by 2 points or more is considered deterioration. No use of subscales for the data analysis was made. Allparticipants in both arms who showed a decrease of 2 points or more in the Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Activity Score are conisdered as responders. Only values quantifying data that were actually measured and analyzed are included.

    Total score from baseline compared with week 40.
