Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants With Non- Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) Resolution Without Worsening of Fibrosis After 72 Weeks (Yes/No) [ Time Frame: After 72 weeks ]
    NASH resolution defined by NASH clinical research network as lobular inflammation of 0 or 1 and hepatocellular ballooning reduced to 0; both criteria were necessary conditions. Hepatocellular ballooning ranges from 0-2; lobular inflammation ranges from 0-3, with higher scores indicating more severe hepatocellular ballooning or lobular inflammation. Worsening of fibrosis defined by an increase in fibrosis at least one stage of Kleiner fibrosis classification: fibrosis stages range from 0-4, with higher scores indicating greater fibrosis (0=None, 4=Cirrhosis). Endpoint was evaluated based on data from in-trial period which started on date of randomisation visit and ended on first of following dates (both inclusive):1) follow-up visit (Week 79); 2) withdrawal of consent; 3) last contact with participant (for participants lost to follow-up); 4) death.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants With at Least One Stage of Liver Fibrosis Improvement With no Worsening of NASH After 72 Weeks (Yes/No) [ Time Frame: After 72 weeks ]
    NASH resolution defined by NASH clinical research network as lobular inflammation of 0 or 1; hepatocellular ballooning reduced to 0; both criteria were necessary conditions. Hepatocellular ballooning range: 0-2; lobular inflammation range: 0-3, with higher scores indicating more severe hepatocellular ballooning or lobular inflammation. Worsening of fibrosis defined by an increase in fibrosis at least one stage of Kleiner fibrosis classification: fibrosis stages range from 0-4, higher scores indicate greater fibrosis (0=None, 4=Cirrhosis). Endpoint was evaluated based on data from in-trial period which started on date of randomisation visit and ended on first of following dates (both inclusive):1) follow-up visit (Week 79); 2) withdrawal of consent; 3)last contact with participant (for participants lost to follow-up); 4)death.

  2. Percentage of Participants With Change in Total NAFLD (Non- Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) Activity Score (NAS) [ Time Frame: Baseline (week 0), Week 72 ]

Worsening is defined as an increase of at least 1 in the NAS; Improvement is defined as a decrease of at least 1 in the NAS; while no change corresponds to no change in NAS from baseline to week 72. NAS is calculated as the sum of scores for steatosis (0 to 3), lobular inflammation (0 to 3), and hepatocyte ballooning (0 to 2). Therefore, it is assessed on a scale of 0-8, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. The endpoint was evaluated based on the data from in-trial period which started on the date of the randomisation visit and ended on the first of the following dates (both inclusive): 1) follow-up visit (Week 79); 2) withdrawal of consent; 3) last contact with participant (for participants lost to follow-up); 4) death.

Steatosis was assessed on a scale of 0-3, with higher scores indicating more severe steatosis. The endpoint was evaluated based on the data from in-trial period which started on the date of the randomisation visit and ended on the first of the following dates (both inclusive): 1) follow-up visit (Week 79); 2) withdrawal of consent; 3) last contact with participant (for participants lost to follow-up); 4) death.

  4. Percentage of Participants With Change in Lobular Inflammation [ Time Frame: Baseline (week 0), Week 72 ]

It is a non-invasive hepatic fibrosis index score combining standard biochemical values, platelets, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), AST and age that is calculated using formula: Fibrosis-4 = (Age [years] x AST [U/L]) / (platelets [10^9/L] x (square root of ALT [U/L])). A Fibrosis-4 index of < 1.45 indicated no or moderate fibrosis and an index of > 3.25 indicated extensive fibrosis/cirrhosis.

  9. Change in NAFLD Fibrosis Score (NFS) [ Time Frame: Baseline (week 0), Week 72 ]
    Change in NFS from baseline to week 72 is presented. NFS is calculated using formula: NFS = -1.675 + 0.037 * age (years) + 0.094 * body mass index (BMI) (kg/m^2) + 1.13 * hyperglycaemia (yes/no) + 0.99 * Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/ Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ratio + 0.013 × platelet count (*10^9/L) - 0.66 * albumin (g/dL). The score is used to classify the probability of fibrosis. A score a) < -1.5 indicates a low probability, b) > -1.5 to < 0.67 indicates intermediate probability, and a score of c) > 0.67 indicates a high probability of liver fibrosis.

    Change in calcium (measured as mmol/L) is presented as ratio to baseline. The endpoint was evaluated based on the data from on-treatment period. On-treatment period: the period starting on the date of first administration of trial product and ending on the date of the last dose of trial product +7 days; except for the evaluation of AEs and hypoglycaemic episodes for which the period ended on the date of whatever came first: 1) last dose of trial product + 49 days (7 half-lives of semaglutide); 2) end of the in-trial period.

  85. Change in Amylase [ Time Frame: Baseline (week 0), Week 72 ]
    Change in amylase (measured as units per liter) is presented as ratio to baseline. The endpoint was evaluated based on the data from on-treatment period. On-treatment period: the period starting on the date of first administration of trial product and ending on the date of the last dose of trial product +7 days; except for the evaluation of AEs and hypoglycaemic episodes for which the period ended on the date of whatever came first: 1) last dose of trial product + 49 days (7 half-lives of semaglutide); 2) end of the in-trial period.

  86. Change in Lipase [ Time Frame: Baseline (week 0), Week 72 ]
    Change in lipase (measured as units per liter) is presented as ratio to baseline. The endpoint was evaluated based on the data from on-treatment period. On-treatment period: the period starting on the date of first administration of trial product and ending on the date of the last dose of trial product +7 days; except for the evaluation of AEs and hypoglycaemic episodes for which the period ended on the date of whatever came first: 1) last dose of trial product + 49 days (7 half-lives of semaglutide); 2) end of the in-trial period.

  87. Change in Calcitonin [ Time Frame: Baseline (week 0), Week 72 ]
    Change in calcitonin (measured as nanograms per liter) is presented as ratio to baseline. The endpoint was evaluated based on the data from on-treatment period. On-treatment period: the period starting on the date of first administration of trial product and ending on the date of the last dose of trial product +7 days; except for the evaluation of AEs and hypoglycaemic episodes for which the period ended on the date of whatever came first: 1) last dose of trial product + 49 days (7 half-lives of semaglutide); 2) end of the in-trial period.
