Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Key

- Liver biopsy consistent with cirrhosis (F4) due to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)
in the opinion of the central reader. In individuals who have never had a liver
biopsy, a screening liver biopsy may be performed.

- Screening laboratory parameters as determined by the study central laboratory:

- Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) = 30 mL/min/1.73m^2, as calculated by
the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation.

- HbA1c = 10%

- International normalized ratio (INR) = 1.4, unless due to therapeutic
anticoagulation

- Platelet count = 125,000/uL

- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) < 5 x ULN

- Serum albumin = 3.5 g/dL

- Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) = 2 x ULN

- Body mass index (BMI) = 23 kg/m^2 at screening.

Key exclusion criteria
- Prior history of decompensated liver disease, including ascites, hepatic
encephalopathy (HE), or variceal bleeding.

- Child-Pugh (CP) score > 6 at screening, unless due to an alternative etiology such as
Gilbert's syndrome or therapeutic anticoagulation.

- Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) score > 12 at screening, unless due to an
alternative etiology such as therapeutic anticoagulation.

- Other causes of liver disease based on medical history and/or central reader review of
liver histology, including but not limited to: alcoholic liver disease, autoimmune
disorders (eg, primary biliary cholangitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, autoimmune
hepatitis), drug-induced hepatotoxicity, Wilson disease, clinically significant iron
overload, or alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency.

- Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (HBsAg positive), or Chronic hepatitis C
virus (HCV) infection (HCV antibody and HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) positive).
Individuals cured of HCV infection less than 2 years prior to the screening visit are
not eligible.

- History of liver transplantation.

- Current or prior history of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

- Men who habitually drink greater than 21 units/week of alcohol or women who habitually
drink greater than 14 units/week of alcohol (1 unit is equivalent to 12 ounce (oz)/360
mL of beer, a 4 oz/120 mL glass of wine, or 1 oz/30 mL of hard liquor).

- For individuals on vitamin E regimen = 800 IU/day, or pioglitazone, dose must be
stable, in the opinion of the investigator for at least 180 days prior to the
historical or screening liver biopsy.

- For individuals on medications for diabetes, dose must be stable, in the opinion
of the investigator, for at least 90 days prior to the historical or screening
liver biopsy.

- History of type 1 diabetes.

- Treatment with a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) in the period
from 90 days prior to the screening visit and for individuals with a qualifying
historical liver biopsy, for 90 days prior to the date of the historical liver biopsy.

- For individuals who have not completed a series of an authorized coronavirus disease
2019 (COVID-19) vaccination regimen prior to screening, a positive result for COVID-19
on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) reverse
transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test.

Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.

Summary
Brief summary
The goals of this clinical study are to learn more about the study drugs, semaglutide (SEMA)
with the fixed-dose combination (FDC) of cilofexor/firsocostat (CILO/FIR), and understand
whether they cause fibrosis improvement and Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) resolution in
participants with cirrhosis due to NASH.
