About This Trial

This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of Efimosfermin Alfa for participants with known or suspected MASH with fibrosis consistent with stage F2 or F3.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Able and willing to understand and sign a written willing to sign a consent form form (ICF) that must be obtained prior to the initiation of study procedures - Age \>=18 through \<=75 years at enrolment - History or presence of 2 or more of the 5 components of metabolic syndrome per American Heart Association definition - History or presence of known or suspected MASH Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - ALT or AST \>=5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) - Total bilirubin (BILI) \>=1.3 milligram per deciliter (mg/dL). Individuals with documented Gilbert's syndrome may be enrolled if they experienced an isolated increase in total BILI of \>=1.3 mg/dL and direct BILI is \<=20% of total BILI; otherwise, the individual will be excluded. - Serum albumin \<=3.5 grams per deciliter (g/dL) - International normalized ratio (INR) \>=1.3 not due to therapeutic anticoagulation. Individuals receiving chronic anticoagulant treatment with higher INR values may be enrolled at the discretion of the Investigator and Study Medical Monitor. - Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) \>=2 × ULN - Platelet (PLT) count \<140 000 per (/) cubic millimeter (mm\^3); individuals with a PLT count between 110,000/mm\^3 and 140,000/mm\^3 may be enrolled after discussion with the Study Medical Monitor - Serum creatinine \>=1.5 mg/dL or creatinine clearance \<=60 milliliter (mL)/minute (min)/1.73 square meter by Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation. - HbA1c \>=9.0% - Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) 3.0 score \>=12 unless the score is elevated in the absence of liver dysfunction (eg, Gilbert's syndrome) - Phosphatidylethanol (PEth) \>=80 nanogram per milliliter (ng/mL) at Screening - Known co-infection with any of the following: a.
