Inclusion Criteria:

• Liver biopsy performed within 6 months (26 weeks) prior to the screening period. If historical biopsy is not available, a liver biopsy will be performed during the screening period. Biopsy must be consistent with NASH, with: a) a score of at least 1 for each NAS component (steatosis, lobular inflammation, and ballooning), as assessed by the central reader, and b) stage 3 liver fibrosis according to the NASH CRN classification, as assessed by the central reader

• Participants taking anti-diabetic, anti-obesity, or anti-dyslipidemic medications must have been on stable regimens for at least 3 months (12 weeks) (6 weeks for statins) prior to and during the screening period

• Participants taking vitamin E at doses greater than or equal to (>=) 800 IU/day must have been on stable doses for at least 6 months (26 weeks) prior to and during the Screening Period. Vitamin E treatment (>=800 IU/day) must not have been initiated after the qualifying liver biopsy was performed.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Other causes of liver disease (e.g., alcoholic liver disease, hepatitis B virus infection, chronic hepatitis C virus [HCV] infection, autoimmune hepatitis, drug-induced hepatotoxicity, Wilson disease, α-1-antitrypsin deficiency, iron overload, and hemochromatosis); participants with HCV sustained viral response (undetectable HCV RNA) for at least 2 years prior to biopsy confirming study eligibility may be eligible

• Current or past history of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)

• Past or current evidence of hepatic decompensation (e.g., ascites, variceal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy and/or spontaneous bacterial peritonitis) or liver transplantation

Other protocol defined inclusion/exclusion criteria could apply
