Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of NNC0581-0001 in participants with hepatic steatosis and suspected steatohepatitis (increased liver fat and suspected inflammation). NNC0581-0001 will be given in 2 different dose levels as injection under the skin (once per month for 3 months). Participants will either get NNC0581-001 or Placebo (dummy treatment). Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. NNC0581-0001 is a new medicine which cannot be prescribed by doctors. The study will last about 58 weeks.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Considered eligible based on the medical history, physical examination, and the results of vital signs, electrocardiogram and clinical laboratory tests performed during the screening visit, as judged by the investigator.
* Male or female (of non-childbearing potential) aged 18-64 years (both inclusive) at the time of signing the informed consent.
* Body mass index (BMI) 25.0 to 39.9 kilogram per square meter (kg/m\^2) (both inclusive) at screening.
* Liver fat content measured by magnetic resonance imaging - estimated proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) greater than or equal to (\>=) 10 percent and liver stiffness greater than 8 kilopascal (kPa) as measured by FibroScan® (vibration-controlled transient elastography \[VCTE™\]).


* Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in men greater than (\>) 30 units per liter (U/L), women \> 19 U/L
* Liverstiffness, measured by FibroScan® (VCTE) \> 8 kPa and less than (\<) 12 kPa
* Informed consent obtained at screening for a liver biopsy to be performed at baseline and post-treatment.

Note: Participants with confirmed metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), based on a prior liver biopsy, can be included in the open-label cohort.

Exclusion Criteria

* Any disorder, which in the investigator's opinion might jeopardise participant's safety or compliance with the protocol.
* ALT \>= 3 × upper limit of normal (ULN)
* Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \>= 3 × ULN
* Bilirubin \> 1.5 × ULN
* Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \< 60 milliliter per minute per 1.73 square meters (mL/min/1.73 m\^2) at screening.
