Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Part A and Part B: Number of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) and treatment-emergent serious adverse events (TESAE) [ Time Frame: Until End of study/Early Termination (Day 197) ]
    The effects of BOS-580 on safety and tolerability will be assessed.

  2. Part A and Part B: Changes from Baseline to Week 12 (Day 85) in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12 (Day 85) ]
    The effects of BOS-580 on safety and tolerability will be assessed.

  3. Part A and Part B: Changes from Baseline to Week 12 (Day 85) in heart rate [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12 (Day 85) ]
    The effects of BOS-580 on safety and tolerability will be assessed.

  4. Part A and Part B: Number of participants with Grade 3 and Grade 4 laboratory abnormalities at Week 12 (Day 85) [ Time Frame: Week 12 (Day 85) ]
    The effects of BOS-580 on safety and tolerability will be assessed.

  5. Part B only: Changes from Baseline to Week 24 (Day 169) and Week 28 (Day 197) in systolic and diastolic BP [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24 (Day 169), Week 28 (Day 197) ]
    The effects of BOS-580 on safety and tolerability will be assessed.

  6. Part B only: Changes from Baseline to Week 24 (Day 169) and Week 28 (Day 197) in heart rate [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24 (Day 169), Week 28 (Day 197) ]
    The effects of BOS-580 on safety and tolerability will be assessed.

  7. Part B only: Number of participants with Grade 3 and Grade 4 laboratory abnormalities at Week 24 (Day 169) and Week 28 (Day 197) [ Time Frame: Week 24 (Day 169) and Week 28 (Day 197) ]
    The effects of BOS-580 on safety and tolerability will be assessed.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Part A only: BOS-580 serum concentration on Day 8 of the first dose [ Time Frame: Day 8 ]
    The pharmacokinetics (PK) of BOS-580 will be assessed.

  2. Part A only: BOS-580 serum concentration at the end of the dosing interval (Ctrough) [ Time Frame: Pre-dose at Days 15, 29, 43, 57, 71, 85 and 113 (End of study/Early termination) for bi-weekly schedule; pre-dose on Days 29, 57, 85 and 113 (End of study/Early termination) for the monthly schedule ]
    The pharmacokinetics (PK) of BOS-580 will be assessed.

  3. Part B only: BOS-580 serum concentration on Day 7 [ Time Frame: Day 7 ]
    The PK of BOS-580 will be assessed.

  4. Part B only: BOS-580 serum concentration at the end of the dosing interval (Ctrough) [ Time Frame: Pre-dose at Days 29, 57, 85, 113, 141, 169 and at Day 196 (End of study/Early Termination) ]
    The PK of BOS-580 will be assessed.

  5. Part B Only: Area under the serum concentration-time curve (AUC) for BOS-580 for one dosing interval at steady state [ Time Frame: At Days 121, 127, 134 and pre-dose at Day 141 ]

Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participant is either male or female and 18 to 75 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent
  • Obese participants with body mass index (BMI) of ≥ 27 kg/m^2
  • Hepatic fat fraction (HFF) measured by magnetic resonance imaging derived proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) ≥8%
  • Liver fibrosis assessment based on a vibration controlled transient elastography (VCTE) liver stiffness measurement (LSM) score of 7.0 to 9.9 kPa (Part A only) inclusive or 7.0 to 20.0 kPa (Part B only) inclusive and Liver injury assessment measured by aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >25U/L. A qualifying historical biopsy (confirmed eligibility based on the central pathology read) supersedes the LSM, controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) score criteria and AST criteria.
  • Histopathologically confirmed F2 or F3 stage NASH on a diagnostic liver biopsy performed during Screening or within 6 months prior to the first day of dosing for historical biopsies (Part B only).
  • History or presence of at least 2 of 4 components of metabolic syndrome: obesity/overweight, dyslipidemia (high triglycerides and/or low high density lipoprotein [HDL]), type 2 diabetes with elevated glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and hypertension.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Documented clinical, laboratory or radiologic evidence of cirrhosis (compensated or decompensated)
  • Triglycerides ≥ 500 mg/dL
  • Change in body weight (more than 5% self-reported OR 5 kg self-reported change during the previous 3 months from Screening, whichever is smaller)
  • History of type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or positive glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) auto-antibodies (latent autoimmune diabetes in adults)
  • Hemoglobin A1c > 9.5%
  • Subjects with a condition that requires substantial anticoagulant medication may not be eligible for the study enrollment (e.g., deep vein thrombosis).
