SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 12 (Visit 8)

Population: Intent-to-Treat. Placebo population: One subject's baseline Whole Liver MRPDFF was missing. This patient did have their Visit 8 MRI, however since there was no baseline MRPDFF Whole Liver, the change from baseline measurement cannot be calculated. A second patient did not have their Visit 8 MRI acquired. ORMD-0801:One subject did not have a Visit 8 MRI (discontinued study due to Withdrew Consent). A second subject did not have a Visit 8 MRI (discontinued study due to Adverse Event)

Median MRPDFF at Baseline and Week 12 of Whole Liver. Delineation by a central radiologist of the whole liver in the slice with the largest liver cross-section. The Liver was subdivided into 8 sections according to the Coinaud liver segmentation for MRI.

This patient did have their Visit 8 MRI, however since there was baseline data missing, the change from baseline measurement cannot be calculated. A second patient did not have their Week 12 MRI acquired. ORMD-0801:One subject did not have a Visit 8 MRI (discontinued study due to Withdrew Consent). A second subject did not have a Visit 8 MRI (discontinued study due to Adverse Event)

Percent change from baseline in median MRPDFF of Liver segment 8 measured at baseline and week 12 (Visit 8).
