. Male or female aged 18 ≤ age \< 75 at the time of signing the informed consent
. Must have had prior liver biopsy within 180 days of randomization with fibrosis stage 2 to 3 and a NAS of ≥4 with at least a score of 1 in each of the lobular inflammation and ballooning degeneration.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Proportions of patients(HSK31679-treated versus placebo-treated) with NASH improvement and with no worsening of fibrosis at week 52 compared with Baseline.
. History or presence of cirrhosis，hepatic decompensation or impairment defined as presence of any of the following: history of esophageal varices, ascites, or hepatic encephalopathy, or hepatocellular carcinoma.
. Use of high dose vitamin E (\>400 IU/day)，polyunsaturated fatty acid or ursodeoxycholic acid unless stable for ≥6 months prior to an eligible screening liver biopsy. Use of thiazolidinediones, sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors or a complex oral anti-diabetic (OAD) regimen (3 or more OADs) unless stable for ≥3 months prior to an eligible screening liver biopsy.
. Use of Glucagon-like peptide 1 \[GLP-1\] agonist therapy (e.g.,liraglutide, semaglutide, dulaglutide and exenatide ) within 6 months prior to an eligible screening liver biopsy.
. Use of drugs that have the potential to affect thyroid hormone production and/or interfere with thyroid function.
. Potent inhibitors of CYP2C8 such as gemfibrozil and trimethoprim are prohibited. An inducer of CYP2C8, rifampicin, is prohibited.
. Use of drugs historically associated with NAFLD/NASH for 2 weeks prior to an eligible screening liver biopsy, which include, but are not limited, to the following: total parenteral nutritionamiodarone, methotrexate, systemic glucocorticoids (if use within 3 months prior to a biopsy is also not permitted), tamoxifen, tetracycline, estrogens at doses greater than those used for hormone replacement or contraception, anabolic steroids , valproic acid, and known hepatotoxins.
. Regular use of drugs historically associated with NAFLD/NASH within 12 months prior to liver biopsy (including historical biopsy), which include, but are not limited, to the following:PPAR agonists (e.g. lanifibranor, Siglitazone sodium) ，FXR agonists (e.g., obecholic acid, HTD1801)，FGF21 analogs (e.g., AP025, efruxifermin , pegozafermin(B1089-1001)) ; DGAT2 inhibitors (e.g., PF 6865571 and ION224),PDE inhibitors (e.g., ZSP1601) and other thyroid hormone receptor B agonists \[e.g.,resmetirom（MGL-3196）、ASC41 and VK2809).
. Lipid-lowering therapy that did not meet the following criteria: fenofibrate, ezetimibe stable for at least 3 months before randomization and remained unchanged during study treatment, and statins stable for at least 4 weeks before randomization and remained unchanged during study treatment.
