- Part A: Proportion of participants with resolution of NASH without worsening of liver fibrosis based on biopsy [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]To determine whether cotadutide is superior to placebo on resolution of NASH without worsening of liver fibrosis in participants with non-cirrhotic NASH with fibrosis
- Part B: Proportion of participants with resolution of NASH without worsening of liver fibrosis based on biopsy [ Time Frame: Week 84 ]To determine whether cotadutide is superior to placebo on resolution of NASH without worsening of liver fibrosis
- Part B: Proportion of participants with improvement of liver fibrosis by at least one stage without worsening of NASH based on biopsy [ Time Frame: Week 84 ]To determine whether cotadutide is superior to placebo on improvement of liver fibrosis by at least one stage without worsening of NASH
- Part A: Proportion of participants with improvement of liver fibrosis by at least one stage without worsening of NASH [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]To assess the effect of cotadutide versus placebo on improvement in fibrosis by at least one stage without worsening of NASH
- Part A: Proportion of participants with ≥ 2-point improvement from baseline in NAS based on biopsy [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]To assess the effect of cotadutide versus placebo on ≥ 2-point improvement in NAS

- Part A: Proportion of participants with improvement in fibrosis by at least one stage based on biopsy [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]To assess the effect of cotadutide versus placebo on improvement in fibrosis by at least one stage
- Part A: Absolute change from baseline in body weight [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]To determine whether cotadutide is superior to placebo for weight reduction
- Part A: Change from baseline in HbA1c in participants with T2DM [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]To determine whether cotadutide is superior to placebo for glycemic control in participants with T2DM
- Part A: Percent change from baseline in triglycerides [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]To assess the effect of cotadutide versus placebo on triglycerides
- Part B: Proportion of participants with ≥ 2-point improvement from baseline in NAS based on biopsy [ Time Frame: Week 84 ]To assess the effect of cotadutide versus placebo on ≥ 2-point improvement in NAS
- Part B: Proportion of participants with both resolution of NASH and improvement in fibrosis by at least one stage [ Time Frame: Week 84 ]To assess the effect of cotadutide versus placebo on resolution of NASH and improvement in fibrosis
- Part B: Proportion of participants with progression to cirrhosis based on biopsy [ Time Frame: Week 84 ]To assess the effect of cotadutide versus placebo on progression to cirrhosis
- Part B: Proportion of participants with improvement in fibrosis by at least one stage based on biopsy [ Time Frame: Week 84 ]To assess the effect of cotadutide versus placebo on improvement in fibrosis by at least one stage
- Part B: Absolute change from baseline in body weight [ Time Frame: Week 84 ]To determine whether cotadutide is superior to placebo for weight reduction
- Part B: Change from baseline in HbA1c in participants with T2DM [ Time Frame: Week 84 ]To determine whether cotadutide is superior to placebo for glycemic control in participants with T2DM

- Clinically significant cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease within 90 days prior to screening, including but not limited to, myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, unstable angina pectoris, transient ischemic attack, or stroke, or participants who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention or a coronary artery bypass graft within the past 90 days or who are due to undergo these procedures at the time of screening
- History of malignant neoplasms within 5 years prior to screening, except for adequately treated basal cell, squamous cell skin cancer, or any in situ carcinoma.
- Participation in another clinical study with an investigational product administered within the last 30 days or 5 half-lives of the therapy (whichever is longer) at the time of screening or the time of the historical biopsy or concurrent participation in another interventional study of any kind or prior randomization in this study.
- Severe allergy/hypersensitivity to any of the proposed study treatments or excipients
