A Study of Experimental Medication BMS-986036 in Adults With Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) and Liver Cirrhosis
Purpose
This is a study of experimental medication BMS-986036 given to adults with Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH; the buildup of fat and inflammation in the liver that is not caused by alcohol) and liver cirrhosis (liver damage characterized by normal liver tissue being replaced by scar tissue).

- Liver Fibrosis
- Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
- Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis

Inclusion Criteria
- Liver biopsy performed within 6 months (26 weeks) prior to the screening period. If historical biopsy is not available, a liver biopsy will be performed during the screening period. Biopsy must be consistent with NASH and cirrhosis according to the NASH CRN classification, as assessed by the central reader - Must be taking anti-diabetic, anti-obesity, or anti-dyslipidemic medications must have been on stable regimens for at least 3 months (12 weeks) (6 weeks for statins) prior to and during the screening period - Participants taking vitamin E at doses greater than or equal to (>=) 800 IU/day must have been on stable doses for at least 6 months (26 weeks) prior to and during the screening period. Vitamin E treatment (>=800 IU/day) must not have been initiated after the qualifying liver biopsy was performed
Exclusion Criteria
- Other causes of liver disease (e.g., alcoholic liver disease, hepatitis B virus infection, chronic hepatitis C virus infection [HCV], autoimmune hepatitis, drug-induced hepatotoxicity, Wilson disease, α-1-antitrypsin deficiency, iron overload, and hemochromatosis); participants with HCV sustained viral response (undetectable HCV RNA) for at least 2 years prior to biopsy confirming study eligibility may be eligible - Current or past history of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) - Past or current evidence of hepatic decompensation (e.g., ascites, variceal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy and/or spontaneous bacterial peritonitis) or liver transplantation - Medical history of gastroesophageal varices, except if esophagogastroduodenoscopy [EGD] performed within 12 months prior to the Screening Period has shown <= Grade 1 varices Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria apply
