Conditions: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease/non-alcoholic steatohepatitis(NAFLD/NASH) <br>NAFLD,NASH,NAFLD/NASH
Interventions: During the treatment period, the investigational drug is orally administered to groups A and B twice daily for 16 weeks. The number of administered tablets in each group is as follows: <br>A group: WY-8678, 4 mg/day: one tablet per session, twice a day<b
Outcome Measures: Percentage of those where the liver fat content (%) measured by MRI-PDFF at 16 weeks decreased by 3.46% or more from baseline (%)1) Amount of change and rate of change from baseline in the measured values at 16 weeks were determined. The rate of change is defined as (value at 16 weeks - baseline value) / (baseline value). The following items were measured:<br>Percentage of subjects where the liver fat content (%) measured by MRI-PDFF at 16 weeks decreased by >= 3.46% from baseline for the 4 mg and 8 mg groups<br>Amount of change and rate of change in liver fat content measured by MRI-PDFF<br>Rate of change in ALT, AST, and gamma-GTP<br>Rate of change in weight<br>Rate of change in blood lipids (chylomicron cholesterol, chylomicron triglyceride, lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL triglyceride, VLDL cholesterol, VLDL triglyceride, free cholesterol, apoprotein A1, apoprotein B, adipsin, free fatty acid)<br>Rate of change in insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)<br>Rate of change in liver hardness (MRE)<br>Rate of change of fibrosis markers (ELF score, Fibrosis-4 [FIB-4])<br>2)Search for new markers related to liver disease and obesity metabolic disease<br>3)Occurrence rate of adverse events
