Sponsor: Sanofi
Conditions: Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Interventions: SAR425899, Placebo
Primary Objective: \- To evaluate the dose response relationship of SAR425899 compared to placebo on resolution of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with no worsening of fibrosis in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with histopathologically-confirmed NASH. Secondary Objectives: * To assess the effect of SAR425899 on overall non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) activity score (NAS), individual components of NAS (steatosis, hepatocyte ballooning, and lobular inflammation), and fibrosis score. * To assess to the effect of SAR425899 on MRI-PDFF (Magnetic Resonance Imaging-determined Proton Density Fat Fraction) derived parameters (total liver fat, liver volume, and fractional liver fat content). * To assess the effect of SAR425889 on body weight and waist/hip circumference ratio. * To assess SAR425899 pharmacokinetics. * To assess safety and tolerability of SAR425899.
Sex: ALL
