Experimental drug for cholesterol and fatty liver fails to advance

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Part B * NAFLD with liver fat content ≥8% as determined by magnetic resonance imaging proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF), * BMI in range of 27 to 45.0 kg/m2 Exclusion Criteria: Parts A \& B * History or presence of medical illness including, but not limited to, any cardiovascular, thromboembolism or bleeding disorder, hepatic, respiratory, hematological, endocrine, immune, psychiatric, or neurological disease, convulsions, or any clinically significant laboratory abnormality that, in the judgment of the Investigator, indicate a medical problem that would preclude study participation, * Uncontrolled hypertension with a resting blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg systolic or ≥ 100 mmHg diastolic at visit 1, * Alanine transaminase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \>3.0 × ULN for the reference range, * Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) \>1.5 × ULN for the reference range, * Total bilirubin (TBL) \>1.5 × ULN for the reference range, * Taken drugs associated with hepatic steatosis (e.g., amiodarone, valproic acid, methotrexate, tamoxifen) for more than 2 weeks in the 3 months prior to screening visit, * Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) or any other type of diabetes mellitus other than T2DM, * Poorly controlled T2DM with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of \>9.0%, * Treatment with GLP-1 RA and GIP/GLP-1 RA and approved or experimental agents that target PCSK9 within 9 months prior to screening visit. Part B * Evidence of other forms of chronic liver disease, * Initiated treatment with, or changed dose of, medications that may cause significant weight gain or weight loss, within 3 months prior to the screening visit, * Have a self-reported change in body weight \>5 kg (11 pounds) within 3 months prior to screening visit
