Part 1: This is a multi-center evaluation of BIO89-100 (administered weekly or every other week) in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study administered for 12 weeks in subjects with NASH and NAFLD at high risk of NASH, including a pre-defined number of subjects with biopsy confirmed NASH and fibrosis stages F1-F3 to be enrolled
Part 2: This is a multi-center, open label evaluation of BIO89-100 at 27 mg administered weekly for 20 weeks in subjects with biopsy-poven NASH (NAS ≥4, fibrosis stage F2 or F3)

Ages Eligible for Study: | 21 Years to 75 Years (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Key Inclusion Criteria:
- Subjects must be 21 to 75 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent form (ICF).
- Evidence of steatosis by Fibroscan and MRI-PDFF
- NASH or NAFLD at high risk for NASH as reflected by AT LEAST ONE of the following:
- Diagnosis of NASH with fibrosis (stages F1, F2 or F3), without cirrhosis, by percutaneous liver biopsy within 24 months prior to screening
- Central obesity WITH T2DM
- Central obesity WITH either increased ALT and/or Fibroscan VCTE score ≥7 KPa.
- Part 2 only: Biopsy-proven NASH in a liver biopsy obtained within 24 weeks of baseline with fibrosis stage F2 or F3 and NAS ≥4, with a score of at least 1 in each of steatosis, ballooning degeneration, and lobular inflammation. A small number of high risk F1 allowed.
Key Exclusion Criteria:
- Clinically significant disorder or a history of any illness that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might confound the results of the study, or pose additional risk to the subject by participation in the study.
- History of type 1 diabetes.
- Weight loss of more than 5% within 3 months prior to Day -1 or more than 10% within 6 months prior to Day -1 or planning to try to lose weight during conduct of study.
- History of a liver disorder other than NASH or clinical suspicion of a liver disorder other than NASH
- History of cirrhosis or evidence of cirrhosis
