Outcome Measures: Main Objective: The primary objective of the study is to determine safety and tolerability of different doses of tropifexor by monitoring adverse events.<br>Moreover, the study will determine the dose-response relationship of tropifexor on markers of hepatic inflammation in NASH by changes in ALT and AST from baseline to Week 12<br>The study will also determine the dose-response relationship of tropifexor on liver fat content by changes from baseline to week 12 in quantitative MRI determined fat;Secondary Objective: Effect of different doses of tropifexor on weight, BMI, waist-to-hip<br>(WTH) ratio)<br>To determine the dose-response relationship of tropifexor on<br>- markers of target engagement<br>- liver fibrosis markers<br>- GGT<br>- fasting lipid profile<br><br>- PK of tropifexor<br>- Effect of tropifexor vs PBO regarding occurrence of potential itch based<br>on a visual analog scale (VAS)<br>- Effects of LJN452 on primary endpoints in the subset of patients with<br>historical biopsy data, both overall and by subsets defined by fibrosis<br>score and/or NAS score as feasible<br><br>Additional Secondary Endpoints for Part C:<br>- safety / tolerability of different doses of tropifexor by monitoring AEs.<br>- dose-response relationship of tropifexor on markers of hepatic<br>inflammation in NASH (baseline to wk 48).<br>- dose-response relationship of tropifexor on liver fat content (MRI)<br>baseline to wk 48<br>- efficacy of tropifexor in NASH and F2/F3 fibrosis as assessed by<br>histological improvement from baseline to wk 48 vs PBO;Primary end point(s): Safety (to be assessed in the SAF):<br>- Occurrence of SAE<br>- Occurrence of AE resulting in permanent discontinuation or dose reduction of study treatment<br>- Occurrence of AE of special interest<br><br>Efficacy (to be assessed in the FAS):<br>- Change from baseline to Week 12 in ALT<br>- Change from baseline to Week 12 in AST<br>- Relative change from baseline to Week 12 in percentage of fat in the liver assessed using MRI;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 weeks of treatmentSecondary end point(s): Absolute change from baseline to Week 12 in percentage of fat in the liver assessed using MRI <br> <br>Weight, BMI, waist-to-hip (WTH) ratio <br> <br>FGF19, C4 <br> <br>Liver stiffness (in kPa) by Fibroscan??, enhanced liver fibrosis panel (ELF) score, and score of fibrosis biomarker test (originally known as Fibrotest??/ FibroSure??) <br> <br>GGT <br> <br>Fasting lipids (total cholesterol, trigylcerides, LDL and HDL cholesterol, free glycerol, free fatty acids) <br> <br>Itch VAS <br> <br>At least a one point improvement of fibrosis stage without worsening of <br>steatohepatitis at Week 48 compared to baseline <br>Proportion of patients who have at least a two point improvement in <br>fibrosis without worsening of steatohepatitis at Week 48 compared to <br>baseline <br>Resolution of steatohepatitis without worsening of fibrosis stage at <br>Week 48 compared to baseline <br>Change of NAS from baseline to Week 48 <br> <br>Absolute and relative change from baseline to Week 48 in percentage of <br>fat in the liver assessed using MRI <br>Change from baseline to Week 48 of ALT and AST;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 respectively 48 weeks of treatment
