Shown are mean (SD) or n (%). P values by one‐sample t test. Histological response is defined as a 2‐point or greater improvement in NAS without worsening of fibrosis or improvement in fibrosis of one stage or more without worsening of NASH (defined as no increase in NAS for ballooning, inflammation, or steatosis). Resolution of NASH is defined as a score of 0‐1 for inflammation, 0 for ballooning, and any value for steatosis.
