Patients who have been diagnosed with decompensated nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) cirrhosis may be eligible to participate in this clinical trial. NASH is liver inflammation and damage caused by a buildup of fat in the liver. The main purpose of the study is to test the safety and efficacy of a drug called Emricasan (IDN-6556) in reducing the risk of complications related to liver disease. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive 5 mg or 25 mg of emricasan, or placebo orally twice a day for at least 48 weeks (and potentially up to 2.5 years, depending on enrollment timeline).
