After signing the informed consent form, subjects will complete a 
screening visit which will include the following assessments: complete 
medical history, physical examination (PE), vital signs, laboratory 
assessments (blood chemistry, hematology, coagulation panel, 
hemoglobin A1c, biomarkers), viral serology, pregnancy test (for females 
of child-bearing potential), standard 12-lead ECG, MRI-PDFF and MRE 
examinations, urine drug test, review of concomitant medications and 
adverse events.
After the screening period and a randomization visit at Baseline/Day 1, 
study visits will occur on Weeks 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 with a 
Follow-Up visit 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug. At minimum, 
vital signs, symptom driven PE, safety laboratory tests (blood chemistry, 
hematology, and coagulation panel), review of concomitant medications 
and adverse events will be done at every visit.
Eligible subjects will be randomized to one of 3 treatment groups. Prior 
to initial dosing, required Baseline/Day 1 assessments will be performed 
and will include Quality of Life (QoL) assessments (general and 
pruritus), symptom driven PE, vital signs, laboratory assessments, 
pregnancy tests (for females of child-bearing potential), urine, blood, and

The primaty endpoint is the safety of GS-9674 in subjects with NASH. 
Safety will be assessed during the study through the repmiing of AEs, 
and by clinicallaboratmy tests and vital sign assessments at various time 
points during the study. Concomitant medication usage will also be 
assessed throughout the study. 
An independent, extemal Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) that 
consists of two hepatologists and a PhD statistician will convene once 
20 subjects have been enrolled and eve1y 3 to 4 months thereafter to 
monitor the study for safety events. The DMC will meet on an ad hoc 
basis if there are at least 3 Grade ~ 3 serious, treatment-related 
Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) observed in 
the study. In the event of two similar Grade 4-CTCAE treatment-related 
adverse events or one Grade 5-CTCAE treatment-related adverse event, 
the DMC will review the data and advise the sponsor regm·ding stopping 
or continuing the study. 
Efficacy will be assessed through a number of exploratmy endpoints. 
These exploratmy endpoints are described in Section 8.1.3.

INTRODUCTION
1.1.
Background
Chronic liver disease and the consequences of end-stage liver disease are increasing globally 
despite improved prevention and treatment of viral hepatitis. This is due to the emerging 
epidemics of obesity, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes mellitus that are leading to an increased 
incidence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is 
characterized by the excess accumulation of lipid droplets within the liver, also known as hepatic 
steatosis. Prevalence rates of NAFLD range from 6% to 37% worldwide {Vernon et al 2011}, 
{Ong et al 2007}. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), an aggressive form of NAFLD 
characterized by the presence of inflammation and hepatocellular ballooning, with or without 
fibrosis, is present in approximately 25% of patients with NAFLD. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis 
is associated with increased liver-related mortality {Williams et al 2011}, {Ong et al 2007}. In the 
United States (US), it has been estimated that 3% to 6% of the population {Vernon et al 2011}, 
{Wanless et al 1990}, or the equivalent of up to 15 million adults, have NASH. NASH represents 
a significant and growing unmet medical need for which there are no currently approved 
therapies. Furthermore, as NASH is a manifestation of the metabolic syndrome, risk factors for 
cardiovascular disease (eg, atherosclerotic disease, cardiac arrhythmogenicity) frequently coexist 
in these patients {Faramawi et al 2008}, {Voulgari et al 2010}, {Dietrich et al 2014}. A treatment that 
targets the underlying metabolic disorder could potentially ameliorate these cardiovascular risks 
and associated morbidity and mortality.
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis is primarily thought to occur as the result of the metabolic 
syndrome, the impact of obesity, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia in the liver. Simple 
steatosis is not sufficient to cause liver injury; it is the presence of inflammation and 
hepatocellular injury on the background of steatosis that defines NASH and results in the 
progression to end-stage liver disease and its complications. The “2-hit” hypothesis of NASH 
suggests that in the setting of steatosis and metabolic dysfunction, increased oxidative stress and 
the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) likely mediate the inflammatory changes in the 
liver (steatohepatitis) that may lead to progressive fibrosis {Dowman et al 2010}, {Kannel et al 
1982}, {Koek et al 2011}, {Sumida et al 2013}. The major pathways in NASH disease progression 
include those involved in metabolic dysfunction in the hepatocyte, and activation of hepatic 
stellate cells and macrophages leading to progressive inflammation and liver fibrosis. Advanced 
fibrosis and cirrhosis are characterized by extensive collagen deposition and remodeling of the 
extracellular matrix. In addition, evidence suggests that lipotoxic intermediates of fatty acids 
likely contribute to the etiology of NASH {Neuschwander-Tetri 2010}.
Over time, NASH may result in progressive liver fibrosis, ultimately leading to cirrhosis in 
10-20% of affected patients. Advanced fibrosis (bridging fibrosis or cirrhosis) is associated with 
increased morbidity and mortality {Ekstedt et al 2014}, {Yeh et al 2014}. Patients with cirrhosis 
may develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and other complications of end-stage liver disease, 
including jaundice, fluid retention (edema and ascites), portal hypertension and variceal 
bleeding, impaired coagulation and hepatic encephalopathy. Decompensated liver disease, as

defined by the development of one of the above complications, has a high mortality and the only 
known effective treatment is liver transplantation. With the increasing prevalence of obesity and 
obesity-related diseases, NASH is expected to become the leading indication for liver
transplantation, and the leading etiology of HCC among liver transplant recipients in the US 
{Wong et al 2014}, {Afzali et al 2012}.
1.1.1.
GS-9674 General Information
GS-9674 is a potent agonist of Farnesoid X Receptor (FXR) whose activity in intestinal 
epithelial cells results in the release of fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19). FGF19 is an 
endocrine peptide which drives a signaling cascade to decrease lipogenesis, gluconeogenesis, 
hepatic triglyceride accumulation, and bile acid synthesis. Please refer to the Investigator’s 
Brochure (IB) for additional information on GS-9674, including:

In vitro FXR agonism

Nonclinical pharmacokinetics and in vitro metabolism

Nonclinical pharmacology and toxicology
1.1.2.
Nonclinical Toxicology
The nonclinical toxicity profile of GS-9674 has been assessed in mice and cynomolgus monkeys 
administered GS-9674 orally for 4 weeks in both species and for 13 weeks in monkeys and 26 
weeks (in-life phase only) in mice. GS-9674-related effects included non-adverse findings in the 
liver for both species that are likely related to the pharmacology of the compound. In both mice 
and cynomolgus monkeys, mild increases in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, liver weight, 
and hepatocellular hypertrophy were observed after 4 weeks of dosing. Minimal oval cell 
hyperplasia was also observed in the liver of cynomolgus monkeys after 4 weeks of dosing. The 
increases in ALP activity and liver weights persisted but did not progress with longer term 
dosing in monkeys (13 weeks) but the histopathological changes were no longer evident. In 
mice, the ALP activity and liver weights were still present and were modestly more pronounced 
with longer term dosing (26 weeks). In mice, the above findings were observed at 
≥100 mg/kg/day after 4 weeks of dosing and at all doses (≥ 20 mg/kg/day) after 26 weeks of 
dosing.  In monkeys, the above findings were observed at doses of 300 mg/kg/day after both 
4 and 13 weeks of dosing. Decreases in cholesterol (≥60 mg/kg/day) and triglycerides 
(≥100 mg/kg/day) as well as increased albumin (≥60 mg/kg/day) observed in mice after 
4 and/or 26 weeks of dosing as well as the decrease in serum bile acids (300 mg/kg/day) in 
monkey after 13 weeks of dosing are also likely to be related to the pharmacology of GS-9674.
Other minimal to mild, non-adverse findings observed after 13 or 26 weeks of dosing in 
monkeys or mice, respectively, that were considered GS-9674-related included decreased red 
blood cell parameters (mouse; ≥20 mg/kg/day), increased platelets (mouse; 600/300 mg/kg/day), 
shortened activated partial thromboplastin time (monkey; 300 mg/kg/day), and increased 
phosphorus (mouse; 600/300 mg/kg/day). Findings present in monkeys after 13 weeks of dosing 
were reversible after a 4 week nondosing recovery period. In the 26 week mouse study, there

were no adverse findings based on the in-life data at 60 mg/kg/day, and the no-observed-adverse 
effect level (NOAEL) in monkeys after 13 weeks of dosing was 300 mg/kg/day. 
Preliminary steady-state PK data from Cohort 5 (administration of GS-9674 100 mg with food) 
in the ongoing Phase 1 study of GS-9674 (GS-US-402-1851: Section 1.1.5.1) indicate adequate 
safety margins based on GS-9674 exposures at the nonclinical NOAEL doses in mouse and 
cynomolgus monkey (Table 1-1).

1.1.3.
Nonclinical Pharmacology
GS-9674 is a potent and selective agonist of FXR. This conclusion is supported by the following 
data: 1) modeling demonstrated an interaction of GS-9674 with the binding domain of FXR 
consistent with agonist activity, 2) GS-9674 induced an agonist response in a time-resolved 
fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) biochemical assay with an EC50 of 16 nM, 
which was comparable to that of other known FXR agonists, and 3) GS-9674 did not activate the 
structurally similar bile acid receptor TGR5, did not activate other nuclear hormone receptors, 
and did not bind to a panel of other off-target receptors and enzymes.
The cellular potency of GS-9674 to activate FXR-mediated transcription was characterized using 
a firefly luciferase reporter gene engineered under the control of a FXR/RXR response element 
(PC-402-2012). GS-9674 caused complete FXR activation with an EC50 value of 43 nM, which 
was more potent than chenodeoxycholic acid (EC50 of 1770 nM).
Oral dose-ranging experiments in male cynomolgus monkeys demonstrated maximal increases in 
plasma FGF19 at a dose of 5 mg/kg (PC-402-2016). In addition, the oral administration of 
GS-9674 (30 mg/kg) to cynomolgus monkeys directly activated intestinal FXR, as measured by 
the expression of FXR-target genes in the ileum (15-fold increase in FGF19 mRNA, and a 2-fold 
increase in organic solute transporter (OST)α and (OST)β mRNA) (PC-402-2005).
The effects of GS-9674 on FGF19 levels were compared in cynomolgus monkeys following both 
oral and intravenous (IV) administration (PC-402-2016). Despite greater exposures following IV 
administration, only the oral administration of GS-9674 increased circulating FGF19 levels.

These data suggest that intestinal FXR agonism by GS-9674 causes FGF19 production, whereas 
low systemic free drug concentrations limit effects following IV administration ofGS-9674. 
GS-9674 was evaluated in a choline-deficient high fat diet /NaN02 rat model of liver fibrosis 
(PC-402-2015). This in vivo model utilized "2 hits" to mimic the metabolic and oxidative stress 
components ofNASH disease in humans {Nakamoto et al2009}, {Murakami et a12013}. Treatment 
with GS-9674 dose-dependently reduced both biochemical and histological measures of liver 
fibrosis in this model. 
Safety pharmacology studies have been conducted to examine the potential effects ofGS-9674 
on the cardiovascular (CV), respiratory, and central nervous system (CNS) systems. There were 
no GS-9674-related effects on the CNS or respiratory system in mice administered up to 
600 mg/kg. In addition, there was no significant human ether-a-go-go-related gene inhibition at 
concentrations up to 100 J.lM or GS-9674-related effects on the CV system in monkeys 
administered up to 300 mg/kg. 
Overall, the results from these pharmacology studies demonstrate that GS-9674 is a potent and 
selective agonist of intestinal FXR with the potential to benefit NASH patients by inducing 
FGF19 production. 
1.1.4. 
Non clinical Phannacokinetics 
GS-9674 has shQwn low oral bioavailability in nonclinical species (al?proximately 10% and 20% 
when dosed as PPD 
j ). Low, 
pH-dependent solUbility and effiux transport have been id entified as factors liKely limiting 
GS-9674 absorption. 
The low systemic clearance (CL) of GS-9674 in rats, dogs and monkeys was considerably lower 
than the predicted hepatic clearance based on in vitro studies with hepatocytes. This discrepancy 
is most likely a result of protein-restricted clearance in vivo due to the very high plasma protein 
binding(> 99.6%) across species. The volume of distribution (V ss) ofGS-9674 was consistent 
with extracellular fluid (ranging from 0.16-0.21 Llkg) in rats, dogs, and monkeys. 
After oral dosing to albino and pigmented mice, C4C]GS-9674-derived radioactivity was 
distributed to most of the tissues, with the highest maximum concentrations of radioactivity 
determined in organs of absorption and excretion. Generally similar distribution patterns and 
tissue concentrations of C4C]GS-9674-derived radioactivity were observed in albino and 
pigmented mice with no observed binding to melanin. In both strains, no quantifiable 
radioactivity was detected in brain, suggesting C4C]GS-9674-derived radioactivity did not cross 
the blood: brain barrier. Fecal elimination was a predominant route of elimination of 
C4C]GS-9674-derived radioactivity in both mice (85. 7% and 5.45% recovered in feces and urine, 
respectively) and monkeys (78.2% and 69.7% recovered in feces in intact and bile duct 
cannulated animals) likely representing drug not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. 
Approximately 6% of the administered radioactivity was excreted in bile and urine in monkeys. 
Radiolabeled material was primarily excreted within the first 48 hours.

GS-9674 undergoes oxidative metabolism in human hepatocytes. Comparison of metabolism in 
hepatocytes from mice, rats, dogs, monkeys, and humans did not identify any metabolites unique 
to humans, supporting the selection of mice and monkeys for the assessment of the toxicology of 
GS-9674. Of the recombinant human CYP isozymes tested, CYP2C8, CYP3A4, and CYP2C19 
were shown to metabolize GS-9674. Potent inhibitors of these CYPs therefore may affect 
metabolism of GS-9674. GS-9674 had little inhibitory effect on the activities of CYP1A2, 
CYP2B6, CYP2C19 or CYP2D6 (IC50 > 25 μM). For CYP2C8, CYP2C9, and CYP3A, IC50
values of 2.4 to 13.6 μM were obtained but GS-9674 was not a mechanism-based inhibitor of 
these enzymes. GS-9674 showed moderate inhibition of human UGT1A1, sodium-taurocholate 
cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP), and bile salt export pump (IC50 2.8-7.7 μM). GS-9674 
inhibited human OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and OATP2B1 with IC50 values of 0.68, 0.41, and 
0.21 μM, respectively. GS-9674 therefore has the potential to affect hepatic/intestinal uptake of 
OATP substrates or metabolism of CYP2C8, CYP2C9, or CYP3A4 substrates when its 
concentrations are sufficiently high. However, low solubility, high protein binding (> 99.98%) 
and low systemic levels reduce the potential for GS-9674 to cause drug-drug interactions via 
inhibition of metabolic enzymes and transporters.
GS-9674 is a substrate for efflux transporters P-glycoprotein and breast cancer resistance protein, 
as well as the uptake transporters OATP1B1, 1B3, and 2B1, and NTCP. Inhibitors or genetic 
polymorphisms affecting the activity of these transporters may affect GS-9674 intestinal 
absorption and hepatic uptake. This was illustrated in an in vivo study in monkeys where 
pretreatment with cyclosporin A, a known inhibitor of efflux transporters, increased the 
bioavailability of GS-9674 approximately 5-fold.
GS-9674 is highly selective for FXR over other nuclear hormone receptors in cell-based reporter 
assays, including those associated with potential for induction of human drug metabolizing 
enzymes and transporters (eg, pregnane X receptor, constitutive androstane receptor). Thus the 
liability of GS-9674 to cause drug-drug interactions through proteins regulated by these nuclear 
receptors is low.
1.1.5.
Clinical Trials of GS-9674
Ongoing clinical experience with GS-9674 includes a Phase 1 clinical study (GS-US-402-1851). 
A brief summary of results from this ongoing study is presented below.
1.1.5.1.
GS-US-402-1851
Study GS-US-402-1851 is an ongoing Phase 1, randomized, placebo-controlled, single- and 
multiple-dose study with 4 prespecified, staggered dose-escalation cohorts and 4 randomized, 
placebo-controlled, single- and multiple-dose cohorts with adaptive dose selection and dose 
frequency.
Preliminary data based on an interim safety analysis as of 22 June 2016 are provided in the 
following sections. A total of 105 subjects have been randomized into 7 cohorts. One subject 
withdrew consent after randomization but prior to dosing and was not replaced. Therefore, safety 
data described below includes 104 dosed subjects.

Grade 2 or 3 elevations in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were seen in five (6%) 
GS-9674 treated subjects and one (5%) placebo treated subject. Of these, two GS-9674 treated 
subjects were noted to have grade 2 or 3 elevations of ALT during active treatment; one each in 
Cohort 6 (GS-9674 50 mg BID) and Cohort 7 (GS-9674 15 mg BID). The remaining subjects 
with elevated ALT were identified at the follow-up visit 4 days after completing study drug. In 
two of these subjects, elevated ALT was associated with very high serum creatine kinase levels, 
consistent with elevation due to strenuous exercise. All ALT elevations returned to baseline and 
were not associated with changes in bilirubin or coagulation parameters. There were no clinically 
important treatment- or dose-related trends in vital signs, ECG, or physical examination findings
in this study.
Preliminary PK parameters for GS-9674 after single- and multiple-dose administration of 10, 30, 
100 or 300 mg under fasting conditions and 100 mg under fed conditions in healthy volunteers 
are presented in Table 1-3. GS-9674 was rapidly absorbed with a median Tmax occurring between 
1.25 and 3.25 hours under fasting conditions. Across the dose levels tested, plasma 
concentrations declined in a bi-phasic manner with a median t1/2 of 5.56 to 12.8 hours. The lower 
observed median t1/2 of 5 to 6 hours in the 10 mg and 30 mg cohorts, respectively, may be a 
result of plasma concentrations falling below the limit of quantitation during the distributional 
phase of the profile. In general, GS-9674 AUC and Cmax increased less than dose proportionally 
above 10 mg upon single and multiple dosing. As expected based on the short GS-9674 t1/2 and 
once daily dosing, minimal to no accumulation was observed for GS-9674 AUC, Cmax or C24
from single to multiple dose administration. Administration of GS-9674 with food resulted in 
prolonged absorption of GS-9674 with an approximately 60% reduction in mean Cmax and 
approximately 35% reduction in mean AUC.  Plasma concentrations of GS-716070 (a metabolite 
of GS-9674 with ~40-fold less potency than GS-9674 against FXR) were analyzed in Cohort 5 
(GS-9674 100 mg administered fed).  The t1/2 of GS-716070 was similar to that of GS-9647 with 
AUC and Cmax ~60% and 35%, respectively of that observed for GS-9674.  Similar to GS-9674,
GS-716070 did not accumulate upon multiple dosing.

Preliminary changes in primary PD parameters (AUC2-8, Cmax, and Cmin) determined to be the 
most sensitive measures of changes in FGF19 and C4 after multiple dose administration of 
placebo, 10, 30, 100 or 300 mg GS-9674 under fasting conditions and 100 mg under fed 
conditions in healthy volunteers are presented in Table 1-4. In general, similar changes in PD 
parameters were observed after single or multiple dose administration (single dose data not 
shown). GS-9674 doses > 30 mg significantly increased FGF19 AUC2-8 and Cmax and reduced 
C4 AUC2-8 and Cmax. Administration of 100 mg GS-9674 with food resulted in prolonged 
elevation of FGF19 plasma concentrations compared to administration of GS-9674 100 mg under 
fasting conditions. Across the dose range of 10 to 300 mg GS-9674 administered fasted, 
GS-9674 exposure was weakly correlated with changes in FGF19 and moderately correlated with 
changes in C4 (Spearman correlation r = 0.45, p=0.002). Additionally, FGF19 and C4 AUC2-8
changes were inversely correlated (r = -0.335, p=0.02).

Rationale for This Study
Current evidence suggests that NASH is a consequence of the metabolic syndrome with resulting 
lipotoxicity and oxidative stress in the steatotic liver, setting off an inflammatory response with 
subsequent activation of hepatic stellate cells and fibrogenesis. FXR agonism has been shown to 
reduce hepatic lipid synthesis and circulating triglycerides due to down regulation of SREBP-1c, 
as well as reduce insulin resistance and hepatic gluconeogenesis. Thus GS-9674 is postulated to 
halt the instigating triggers for NASH. Animal models have demonstrated the ability for 
GS-9674 to reverse the metabolic dysfunction and NASH-like liver injury in a choline-deficient 
high fat diet /NaNO2 rat model of liver fibrosis. This Phase 2 study has been designed as a 
multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety and 
efficacy of GS-9674 for 24 weeks in subjects with NASH. Approximately 125 NASH subjects 
without cirrhosis will be randomized in a 2:2:1 ratio to receive GS-9674 at a dose of 30 mg or 
100 mg orally QD, or placebo. Randomization will be stratified by the presence or absence of 
diabetes mellitus, a common comorbidity in patients with this condition.
Inclusion criteria for the study were developed in order to noninvasively identify subjects with 
NASH. Specifically, all subjects will have a clinical diagnosis of NAFLD, evidence of ≥ 10% 
hepatic steatosis on MRI-PDFF {Bannas et al 2015}, and increased liver stiffness on MRE 
(≥2.90 kPa). Previous studies have shown that patients with NAFLD and increased liver 
stiffness by MRE have a high probability of NASH on liver biopsy {Loomba et al 2014}, {Chen et 
al 2011}. For example, Chen et al. reported that an MRE liver stiffness cut-off of ≥ 2.90 kPa was 
83% sensitive, 82% specific, and had an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 
(AUROC) of 0.93 and positive predictive value of 88% for the differentiation of simple steatosis 
from NASH on biopsy. Moreover, in a meta-analysis of MRE for the diagnosis of NAFLD-

related fibrosis {Singh et al 2016}, a liver stiffness ≥ 2.88 kPa optimally identified the presence of 
at least stage 1 fibrosis (AUROC 0.86). Based on these criteria, subjects enrolled in this study 
have a high probability of NASH with fibrosis, a population with a large unmet medical need.
Since the safety and PK of GS-9674 have not yet been explored in subjects with cirrhosis, 
criteria have been developed in order to exclude cirrhotic subjects based on a validated serum 
marker for fibrosis (FibroSURE/FibroTest®) and historical clinical, histological, and imaging 
data {Ratziu et al 2006}.
The primary endpoint of this study will be the safety and tolerability of GS-9674. In addition, the 
biological activity of GS-9674 will be determined based on endpoints including routine liver 
biochemistry (eg, ALT and GGT); noninvasive serum markers of liver injury (eg, serum CK-18, 
FibroSURE/FibroTest® and ELF™ Test); and imaging-based methods for quantifying hepatic 
steatosis (MRI-PDFF) and fibrosis (MRE and FibroScan®). An important endpoint of interest is 
the proportion of subjects achieving ≥ 30% reduction in steatosis as assessed by MRI-PDFF. 
This level of reduction has been associated with a significant improvement in NASH histology 
(≥ 2-point reduction in NAFLD Activity Score) {Patel et al 2015}. Based on preclinical and 
clinical data, a treatment duration of 24 weeks with GS-9674 is expected to be sufficient to lead 
to meaningful improvements in hepatic steatosis on MRI-PDFF and liver biochemistry.  In 
addition to these liver-related endpoints, the effects of GS-9674 on carbohydrate and lipid 
metabolism (eg, glucose, insulin, free fatty acids, apolipoproteins, lipid profiles, and metabolites) 
will be closely monitored in light of the mechanism of action of GS-9674 and the importance of 
metabolic dysfunction in contributing to the morbidity and mortality (eg, cardiovascular) of 
subjects with NASH.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of 30 mg and 100 mg GS-9674 
administered with food for 24 weeks in subjects with NASH. The doses were selected based on 
short-term safety, PK and PD results from Study GS-US-402-1851 in healthy subjects. 
Across the range of GS-9674 doses evaluated (10-300 mg QD), doses ≥30 mg provide 
comparable intestinal FXR activation assessed as increases in FGF19 exposure. Food, by 
slowing oral absorption of GS-9674, results in prolonged elevation of plasma FGF19 
concentrations. Exposure-response relationships show that changes in C4 exposure are 
negatively correlated with changes in FGF19 exposure as well as GS-9674 exposure. Based on 
these results, GS-9674 doses of 30 and 100 mg with food are selected for further study as they 
are expected to 1) provide enteral FXR agonism and improvements in subjects with NASH and 
2) inform on the impact of increasing systemic GS-9674 exposure on safety and efficacy.
In the Phase 1 study, GS-US-402-1851, GS-9674 was tested at doses up to 300 mg once daily for 
up to 14 days and was well tolerated. Taken together, these data support the evaluation of 
GS-9674 30 and 100 mg in subjects with NASH.

Risk/Benefit Assessment for the Study 
This study will provide information on the safety and efficacy of GS-9674 for the treatment of
patients with NASH. As there are currently no approved therapies for NASH, there is a large
unmet medical need for this growing population of patients.
Potential risks of a participant’s study involvement include unknown AEs, general risks 
associated with frequent clinic visits and laboratory blood draws, and the associated pain and 
discomfort of phlebotomy. Strategies to mitigate these risks include close monitoring of lab 
values as well as AEs. 
Subjects with NASH randomized to the placebo control arm in the study may benefit from 
frequent medical monitoring and close assessment of their NASH during the duration of placebo 
treatment. Subjects randomized to GS-9674 may benefit from an improvement in their 
underlying NASH which may manifest as improvements in liver biochemistry, measures of 
hepatic steatosis or fibrosis, or improvements in quality of life. Importantly, this study will 
provide further data to inform the clinical development of the investigational medicinal product 
GS-9674 for use in an area of unmet medical need. 
Overall, the nonclinical and limited preliminary clinical data show a positive benefit/risk ratio in 
support of the study in subjects with NASH. Appropriate safety monitoring will be conducted 
throughout the study to further characterize the safety profile of GS-9674 in NASH subjects 
without cirrhosis.
In summary, there are no approved treatment options available for patients with NASH. Based
on past clinical experience with GS-9674, the risk/benefit is positive and supports the continued
evaluation of GS-9674 in this patient population. Data from this study will support the
development of GS-9674 for the treatment of this condition.

STUDY DESIGN
3.1.
Study Design
This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the 
safety, tolerability, and efficacy of GS-9674 in subjects with NASH. To be eligible to participate, 
subjects must have evidence of hepatic steatosis and increased liver stiffness as assessed by 
MRI-PDFF and MRE respectively. Any subject with a history of decompensated liver disease, 
including ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, or variceal bleeding will be ineligible.
The overall study design is presented graphically in Figure 3-1.

Treatment Plan and Regimen
Subjects meeting the study’s entry criteria will be randomly assigned in a 2:2:1 ratio to 1 of 
3 different treatment groups (A, B, and C) as shown in Figure 3-1. Randomization will be 
stratified by the presence or absence of diabetes mellitus as determined by medical history, use 
of medication for indication of diabetes mellitus, or based on screening lab values if previously 
undiagnosed (ie, hemoglobin A1c ≥ 6.5% OR fasting plasma glucose ≥126 mg/dL).
Study drug will be administered for a total of 24 weeks from the Baseline/Day 1 visit up to and 
including the Week 24 visit. Dosage and administration of the study drug and reference product 
are described in Section 5.3.

Randomization, Blinding and Treatment Codes 
Final 
Original 
An Interactive Web Response System (IWRS) will be used for centralized randomization and 
treatment assignment. Randomization will be stratified by the presence or absence of diabetes 
mellitus as dete1mined by medical hist01y, use of medication for indication of diabetes mellitus, 
or based on screening lab values if previously lmdiagnosed (ie, hemoglobin Ale :::: 6.5% OR 
fasting plasma glucose :::: 126 mg/d.L). 
Investigative site personnel will obtain the subject's identification number and study dmg 
assignment from the IWRS. Subjects and all personnel directly involved in the conduct of the 
study will be blinded to treatment assignment. 
Study dmg will be dispensed by the study pha1macist, or designee, in a blinded fashion to the 
subjects. 
5.1.1. 
Procedures for Breaking Treatment Codes 
In the event of a medical emergency where breaking the blind is required to provide medical care 
to the subject, the investigator (or designee) may obtain treatment assignment directly from the 
IWRS system for that subject (refer to the Study Reference Binder for IWRS unblinding 
instmctions). Gilead recommends but does not require that the investigator contact the Gilead 
Medical Monitor before breaking the blind. Treatment assignment should remain blinded unless 
that knowledge is necessmy to dete1mine subject emergency medical care. The rationale for 
unblinding must be clem·ly explained in somce docmnentation and on the electronic case report 
f01m ( eCRF), along with the date on which the treatment assignn1ent was obtained. The 
investigator is requested to contact the Gilead Medical Monitor promptly in case of ailY 
treatment unblinding. 
Blinding of study treatment is critical to the integrity of this clinical study and therefore, if a 
subject's treatment assignment is disclosed to the investigator, the subject will have study 
treatment discontinued. All subjects will be followed until study completion unless consent to do 
so is specifically withdrawn by the subject. 
Gilead Drug Safety and Public Health (DSPH) may independently unblind cases for expedited 
reporting of suspected lmexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs).

It is the responsibility of the investigator to ensure that subjects are eligible to participate in the 
study prior to enrollment and throughout the study. 
Documentation of the personally signed and dated informed consent of each subject, using the 
study-specific informed consent form (ICF), is required before initiating the screening process.
After written informed consent has been obtained and eligibility to participate established, 
investigative site personnel will obtain the subject’s identification number and study drug 
assignment from the interactive web response system (IWRS).
6.2.
Pretreatment Assessments – Screening Visit
Subjects will be screened within 4 weeks prior to randomization to determine eligibility for 
participation in the study. The screening period may be extended under special circumstances 
with the explicit approval of the Medical Monitor.
Screening labs may be repeated once within the screening period, prior to administration of study 
drug to rule out laboratory error, if any. This will be done at the discretion of the investigator and 
with prior approval of the Medical Monitor.
Subjects should be instructed to fast (no food or drink, except water), starting from midnight 
(00:00) or earlier, as appropriate, on the evening prior to the Screening visit to ensure an 
approximate 8-hour fast prior to the fasted blood sample collection the next morning.

SF-36 Health Survey
The SF-36 Health Survey asks 36 questions to measure functional health and well-being from the 
subject’s point of view and consists of eight health domains (physical functioning, role-physical, 
bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health). These 
health domain scales contribute to the physical health and mental health summary measures.
6.9.4.3.
Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) 
The Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) questionnaire asks 6 questions 
regarding the effect of NASH on a person’s ability to work and perform regular activities.
6.9.4.4.
VAS-itch
The visual analogue scale (VAS)-itch is a tool for measuring the intensity of pruritus.
6.9.4.5.
5-D itch
The 5-D itch is multidimensional measure of itching that allows changes in chronic pruritus to be 
detected over time. The questionnaire measures the degree, duration, direction, disability, and 
distribution of pruritus.
6.9.5.
Electrocardiogram
Standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) assessments will be performed. The investigator will 
review the ECGs for any clinically significant abnormalities to ensure subject safety. Abnormal 
ECG findings that are considered clinically significant by the investigator and meet the definition 
of an AE should be reported and recorded in the AE eCRF page.
6.9.6.
FibroScan®
Liver stiffness will be assessed by FibroScan®. It is required that each subject’s FibroScan®
assessments be done with the same type of probe at each study visit. If FibroScan® is not 
available at a site the test may be omitted.
Please refer to the Study Reference Binder for instructions on FibroScan® measurements.
6.9.7.
MRE and MRI-PDFF
Liver stiffness will be assessed by MRE and the degree of steatosis will be measured by 
Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Proton Density Fat Fraction (MRI-PDFF). These assessments can 
occur sequentially.
The MRE and MRI-PDFF images will be analyzed by a central reader. 
Please refer to the Study Reference Binder for MRE and MRI-PDFF imaging guidelines.

ADVERSE EVENTS AND TOXICITY MANAGEMENT
7.1.
Definitions of Adverse Events, Adverse Reactions, and Serious Adverse 
Events
7.1.1.
Adverse Events
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study subject 
administered a medicinal product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the
treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and/or unintended sign, symptom, or disease 
temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to 
the medicinal product. AEs may also include pre- or post-treatment complications that occur as a 
result of protocol specified procedures, overdose, drug abuse/misuse reports, or occupational 
exposure. Preexisting events that increase in severity or change in nature during or as a 
consequence of participation in the clinical study will also be considered AEs.
An AE does not include the following:

Medical or surgical procedures such as surgery, endoscopy, tooth extraction, and transfusion.
The condition that led to the procedure may be an adverse event and must be reported.

Pre-existing diseases, conditions, or laboratory abnormalities present or detected before the 
Screening visit that do not worsen.

Situations where an untoward medical occurrence has not occurred (eg, hospitalization for 
elective surgery, social and/or convenience admissions).

Overdose without clinical sequelae (see Section 7.6.1).

Any medical condition or clinically significant laboratory abnormality with an onset date 
before the consent form is signed and not related to a protocol-associated procedure is not an 
AE. It is considered to be pre-existing and should be documented on the medical history 
eCRF.
7.1.2.
Serious Adverse Events
A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as an event that, at any dose, results in the following:

Death

Life-threatening (Note: The term “life-threatening” in the definition of “serious” refers to an 
event in which the subject was at risk of death at the time of the event; it does not refer to an 
event that hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe.)

In-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization

GS-9674
Protocol GS-US-402-1852

28 June 2016

Persistent or significant disability/incapacity

A congenital anomaly/birth defect

A medically important event or reaction: such events may not be immediately 
life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the subject or may 
require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes constituting SAEs. Medical and 
scientific judgment must be exercised to determine whether such an event is a reportable 
under expedited reporting rules. Examples of medically important events include intensive 
treatment in an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm; blood dyscrasias or 
convulsions that do not result in hospitalization; and development of drug dependency or 
drug abuse. For the avoidance of doubt, infections resulting from contaminated medicinal 
product will be considered a medically important event and subject to expedited reporting 
requirements.
7.1.3.
Clinical Laboratory Abnormalities and Other Abnormal Assessments as 
Adverse Events or Serious Adverse Events
Laboratory abnormalities without clinical significance are not recorded as AEs or SAEs. 
However, laboratory abnormalities (eg, clinical chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis) that 
require medical or surgical intervention or lead to study drug interruption, modification, or 
discontinuation must be recorded as an AE, as well as an SAE, if applicable. In addition, 
laboratory or other abnormal assessments (eg, electrocardiogram, x-rays, vital signs) that are 
associated with signs and/or symptoms must be recorded as an AE or SAE if they meet the 
definition of an AE or SAE as described in Sections 7.1.1 and 7.1.2. If the laboratory 
abnormality is part of a syndrome, record the syndrome or diagnosis (eg, anemia), not the 
laboratory result (ie, decreased hemoglobin).
7.2.
Assessment of Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events
The investigator or qualified subinvestigator is responsible for assessing AEs and SAEs for 
causality and severity, and for final review and confirmation of accuracy of event information 
and assessments.
7.2.1.
Assessment of Causality for Study Drugs and Procedures
The investigator or qualified subinvestigator is responsible for assessing the relationship to 
GS-9674 therapy using clinical judgment and the following considerations:

No: Evidence exists that the adverse event has an etiology other than the GS-9674. For 
SAEs, an alternative causality must be provided (eg, pre-existing condition, underlying 
disease, intercurrent illness, or concomitant medication).

Yes: There is reasonable possibility that the event may have been caused by the study drug.

It should be emphasized that ineffective treatment should not be considered as causally related in 
the context of adverse event reporting. 
The relationship to study procedures (eg, invasive procedures such as venipuncture or biopsy) 
should be assessed using the following considerations:

No: Evidence exists that the adverse event has an etiology other than the study procedure.

Yes: The adverse event occurred as a result of protocol procedures (eg, venipuncture)
7.2.2.
Assessment of Severity
The severity grading of AEs will be assessed as Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 according to the 
Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.03, which can be found 
at http://evs.nci.nih.gov/ftp1/CTCAE/CTCAE_4.03_2010-06-14_QuickReference_8.5x11.pdf
(Appendix 3).
For AEs associated with laboratory abnormalities, the event should be graded on the basis of the 
clinical severity in the context of the underlying conditions; this may or may not be in agreement 
with the grading of the laboratory abnormality.
The distinction between the seriousness and the severity of an adverse event should be noted. 
Severe is a measure of intensity; thus, a severe reaction is not necessarily a serious reaction. For 
example, a headache may be severe in intensity, but would not be classified as serious unless it 
met one of the criteria for serious events listed above.
7.3.
Investigator Requirements and Instructions for Reporting Adverse Events 
and Serious Adverse Events to Gilead
Requirements for collection prior to study drug initiation:
After informed consent, but prior to initiation of study medication, the following types of events 
should be reported on the electronic case report form (eCRF): all SAEs and adverse events 
related to protocol-mandated procedures.
Adverse Events
Following initiation of study medication, collect all AEs, regardless of cause or relationship, 
until 30 days after last administration of GS-9674; AEs must be reported to the eCRF database as 
instructed.
All AEs should be followed up until resolution or until the adverse event is stable, if possible. 
Gilead Sciences may request that certain AEs be followed beyond the protocol defined follow up 
period.

Serious Adverse Events
All SAEs, regardless of cause or relationship, that occur after the subject first consents to 
participate in the study (ie, signs the informed consent) and throughout the duration of the study, 
including the protocol-required post treatment follow-up period, must be reported to the eCRF 
database and Gilead Drug Safety and Public Health (DSPH) as instructed. This also includes any 
SAEs resulting from protocol-associated procedures performed after informed consent is signed.
Any SAEs and deaths that occur after the post treatment follow-up visit but within 30 days of the 
last dose of GS-9674, regardless of causality, should also be reported.
Investigators are not obligated to actively seek SAEs after the protocol defined follow up period; 
however, if the investigator learns of any SAEs that occur after study participation has concluded 
and the event is deemed relevant to the use of study drug, he/she should promptly document and 
report the event to Gilead DSPH.

All AEs and SAEs will be recorded in the eCRF database within the timelines outlined in the 
eCRF completion guideline. 
Electronic Serious Adverse Event (eSAE) Reporting Process

Site personnel record all SAE data in the eCRF database and from there transmit the SAE 
information to Gilead DSPH within 24 hours of the investigator’s knowledge of the event. 
Detailed instructions can be found in the eCRF completion guidelines.

If for any reason it is not possible to record the SAE information electronically, ie, the eCRF 
database is not functioning, record the SAE on the paper serious adverse event reporting 
form (see Study Reference Binder) and submit within 24 hours to:
Gilead DSPH:
Fax: +1 (650) 522-5477
Email: Safety_FC@gilead.com

As soon as it is possible to do so, any SAE reported via paper must be transcribed into the 
eCRF Database according to instructions in the eCRF completion guidelines.

If an SAE has been reported via a paper form because the eCRF database has been locked, no 
further action is necessary.

For fatal or life-threatening events, copies of hospital case reports, autopsy reports, and other 
documents are also to be submitted by e-mail or fax when requested and applicable. 
Transmission of such documents should occur without personal subject identification, 
maintaining the traceability of a document to the subject identifiers.

Additional information may be requested to ensure the timely completion of accurate safety 
reports.

Any medications necessary for treatment of the SAE must be recorded onto the concomitant 
medication section of the subject’s eCRF and the event description section of the SAE form.

Gilead Reporting Requirements
Depending on relevant local legislation or regulations, including the applicable US FDA Code of 
Federal Regulations, the EU Clinical Trials Directive (2001/20/EC) and relevant updates, and 
other country-specific legislation or regulations, Gilead may be required to expedite to 
worldwide regulatory agencies reports of SAEs, serious adverse drug reactions (SADRs), or 
suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs). In accordance with the EU Clinical 
Trials Directive (2001/20/EC), Gilead or a specified designee will notify worldwide regulatory 
agencies and the relevant IEC in concerned Member States of applicable SUSARs as outlined in 
current regulations.
Assessment of expectedness for SAEs will be determined by Gilead using reference safety 
information specified in the investigator’s brochure or relevant local label as applicable. 
All investigators will receive a safety letter notifying them of relevant SUSAR reports associated 
with any study drug. The investigator should notify the IRB or IEC of SUSAR reports as soon as 
is practical, where this is required by local regulatory agencies, and in accordance with the local 
institutional policy. 
To minimize the possibility of exposing study subjects to unusual risk, the safety information 
from this study will also be reviewed periodically by an independent Data Monitoring 
Committee (DMC). The DMC may have access to partially blinded or unblinded data and will
make recommendations regarding the study according to the DMC charter. See Section 8.11 for 
additional details regarding the DMC.
7.5.
Toxicity Management 
Observation for Drug Induced Liver Injury (DILI):
Although subjects enrolled in this study will have baseline liver disease, their hepatic function 
should not be significantly impaired. However, at baseline, some may have liver biochemistry 
levels above the upper limit of normal (ULN). 
For subjects with ALT and AST below ULN at study start, close observation for DILI (as 
described below) should be considered in subjects with any of the following criteria (all labs 
confirmed by repeat testing):

ALT or AST > 3 x ULN at any time

Total bilirubin > 2 x ULN

Alkaline phosphatase > 3 x ULN

INR >1.5 x ULN (except for subjects on anticoagulant therapy)


Clinical signs or symptoms that are, in the opinion of the investigator, consistent with 
hepatitis (such as right upper quadrant discomfort, fever, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, rash, or 
eosinophilia > 5%)
For subjects with ALT or AST between 1 and 5 x ULN at study start, close observation for DILI 
(as described below) should be considered in subjects with any of the following criteria (all labs 
confirmed by repeat testing):

ALT or AST > 2 x baseline at any time

Total bilirubin > 2 x ULN  

Alkaline phosphatase > 3 x ULN

INR >1.5 x ULN (except for subjects on anticoagulant therapy)  

Clinical signs or symptoms that are, in the opinion of the investigator, consistent with 
hepatitis (such as right upper quadrant discomfort, fever, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, rash, or 
eosinophilia > 5%).  
Close observation includes:

Repeating liver biochemistries (ALT, AST, ALP, total bilirubin, INR) within 48 hours

Obtaining a more detailed history of symptoms and prior or concurrent disease

Obtaining a history of concomitant drug use (including nonprescription medications and 
herbal and dietary supplement preparations), alcohol use, recreational drug use, and special 
diets

Obtaining a history of exposure to environmental chemical agents

Ruling out other causes of liver disease as needed (obtain viral hepatitis panel, imaging for 
evaluation of biliary tract disease, etc. if required in the opinion of the primary investigator)

Continue to monitor liver biochemistries twice weekly. Frequency can decrease to once a 
week or less if abnormalities stabilize or study drug has been discontinued and subject is 
asymptomatic
During a period of close observation, study drug can be continued, if desired, at the discretion of 
the Gilead Medical Monitor and the principal investigator during the DILI evaluation. 
However, for all subjects, study drug should be withheld if any of the following criteria are met:

ALT or AST > 3 x ULN AND either Total bilirubin > 2 x ULN or INR > 1.5 (in subjects not 
on anticoagulation)

quadrant pain or tenderness, fever, rash, and/or eosinophilia (>5%)

ALT or AST > 8 x ULN 

ALT or AST >5 x ULN for more than 2 weeks
AND

No other cause for the combination of laboratory abnormalities is immediately apparent (eg,
prolonged INR with warfarin use) important potential causes or contributors to abnormal 
AST/ALT or total bilirubin values include, but are not limited to:
Obstructive gall bladder or bile duct disease
Viral or alcoholic hepatitis (eg, hepatitis A/B/C/D/E, Epstein-Barr virus, 
cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus, varicella)
Autoimmune hepatitis
Concomitant administration of other hepatotoxins, including excessive doses of 
acetaminophen, drugs that inhibit bilirubin glucuronidation (eg, indinavir, atazanavir, 
irinotecan), or herbal or dietary supplements
Hypoxic or ischemic hepatopathy or congestive hepatopathy in association with 
significant right-sided heart failure
Wilson disease
Progression of malignancy involving the liver (note that metastatic disease to the liver, by 
itself, should not be used as an explanation for significant AST/ALT elevations)
If study drugs are withheld, they may be reintroduced with approval from the Medical Monitor.
Treatment-emergent toxicities will be noted by the investigator and brought to the attention of 
the Medical Monitor. Whether or not considered treatment-related, all subjects experiencing AEs 
must be monitored periodically until symptoms subside, any abnormal laboratory values have 
resolved or returned to baseline levels or they are considered irreversible, or until there is a 
satisfactory explanation for the changes observed.

Other than in the case of the liver enzymes noted above, Grade 3 or 4 clinically significant 
laboratory AEs should be confirmed by repeat testing as soon as practical to do so, and 
preferably within 3 calendar days of receipt of the original test results.

For AEs associated with laboratory abnormalities, the event should be graded on the basis of 
the clinical severity in the context of the underlying conditions; this may or may not be in 
agreement with the grading of the laboratory abnormality.

Special Situations Reports
7.6.1.
Definitions of Special Situations
Special situation reports include all reports of medication error, abuse, misuse, overdose, reports 
of AEs associated with product complaints, occupational exposure with an AE, pregnancy 
reports regardless of an associated AE, and AE in an infant following exposure from 
breastfeeding.
Medication error is any unintentional error in the prescribing, dispensing, or administration of a 
medicinal product while in the control of the health care provider, subject, or consumer.
Abuse is defined as persistent or sporadic intentional excessive use of a medicinal product by a 
subject.
Misuse is defined as any intentional and inappropriate use of a medicinal product that is not in 
accordance with the protocol instructions or the local prescribing information.
An overdose is defined as an accidental or intentional administration of a quantity of a medicinal 
product given per administration or cumulatively which is above the maximum recommended 
dose as per protocol or in the product labeling (as it applies to the daily dose of the subject in 
question). In cases of a discrepancy in drug accountability, overdose will be established only 
when it is clear that the subject has taken the excess dose(s). Overdose cannot be established 
when the subject cannot account for the discrepancy except in cases in which the investigator has 
reason to suspect that the subject has taken the additional dose(s).
Product complaint is defined as complaints arising from potential deviations in the manufacture, 
packaging, or distribution of the medicinal product. 
Occupational exposure is defined as exposure to a medicinal product as a result of one’s 
professional or non-professional occupation.
7.6.2.
Instructions for Reporting Special Situations
7.6.2.1.
Instructions for Reporting Pregnancies
The investigator should report pregnancies in female study subjects that are identified after 
initiation of study medication and throughout the study, including the post study drug follow-up 
period, to Gilead DSPH using the pregnancy report form within 24 hours of becoming aware of 
the pregnancy.
Refer to Section 7.3 and the eCRF completion guidelines for full instructions on the mechanism 
of pregnancy reporting.

The pregnancy itself is not considered an AE nor is an induced elective abortion to terminate a 
pregnancy without medical reasons.
Any premature termination of pregnancy (eg, a spontaneous abortion, an induced therapeutic 
abortion due to complications or other medical reasons) must be reported within 24 hours as an 
SAE. The underlying medical reason for this procedure should be recorded as the AE term.
A spontaneous abortion is always considered to be an SAE and will be reported as described in 
Sections 7.1.1 and 7.1.2. Furthermore, any SAE occurring as an adverse pregnancy outcome post 
study must be reported to Gilead DSPH.
The subject should receive appropriate monitoring and care until the conclusion of the 
pregnancy. The outcome should be reported to Gilead DSPH using the pregnancy outcome report 
form. If the end of the pregnancy occurs after the study has been completed, the outcome should 
be reported directly to Gilead DSPH. Gilead DSPH contact information is as follows: 
Email: Safety_FC@gilead.com and Fax: +1 (650) 522-5477. 
Pregnancies of female partners of male study subjects exposed to Gilead or other study drugs 
must also be reported and relevant information should be submitted to Gilead DSPH using the 
pregnancy and pregnancy outcome forms within 24 hours. Monitoring of the subject should 
continue until the conclusion of the pregnancy. If the end of the pregnancy occurs after the study 
has been completed, the outcome should be reported directly to Gilead DSPH, fax number 
+1 650 522-5477 or email Safety_FC@gilead.com. 
Refer to Appendix 4 for Pregnancy Precautions, Definition for Female of Childbearing Potential, 
and Contraceptive Requirements.
7.6.2.2.
Reporting Other Special Situations
All other special situation reports must be reported on the special situations report form and 
forwarded to Gilead DSPH within 24 hours of the investigator becoming aware of the situation. 
These reports must consist of situations that involve study drug and/or Gilead concomitant 
medications, but do not apply to non-Gilead concomitant medications.
Special situations involving non-Gilead concomitant medications does not need to be reported on 
the special situations report form; however, for special situations that result in AEs due to a non-
Gilead concomitant medication, the AE should be reported on the AE form. 
Any inappropriate use of concomitant medications prohibited by this protocol should not be 
reported as “misuse,” but may be more appropriately documented as a protocol deviation.
Refer to Section 7.3 and the eCRF completion guidelines for full instructions on the mechanism 
of special situations reporting.
All clinical sequelae in relation to these special situation reports will be reported as AEs or SAEs 
at the same time using the AE eCRF and/or the SAE report form. Details of the symptoms and 
signs, clinical management, and outcome will be reported, when available.

Data Handling Conventions 
Final 
Original 
Missing data can have an impact on the inte1pretation of the study data. In general, values for 
missing data will not be imputed. 
Where appropriate, safety data for subjects that did not complete the study will be included in 
summary statistics. For example, if a subject received study medication, the subject will be 
included in a summary of adverse events according to the treatment received; othe1wise, if the 
subject is not dosed then they will be excluded from the summa1y. If safety laboratmy results for 
a subject are missing for any reason at a time point, the subject will be excluded from the 
calculation of sUllllnaty statistics for that time point. If the subject is missing a pre-dose value, 
then the subject will be excluded from the calculation of summmy statistics for the pre-dose 
value and the change from pre-dose values. 
Values for missing safety laboratmy data will not be imputed; however, a missing baseline result 
will be replaced with a screening result, if available. If no pre-treatment laboratmy value is 
available, the baseline value will be assmned to be nmmal (ie, no grade [Grade OJ) for the 
summary of graded laboratmy abnmmalities. 
Values for missing vital signs data will not be imputed; however, a missing baseline result will 
be replaced with a screening result, if available. 
8.4. 
Demographic Data and Baseline Characteristics 
Demographic and baseline measurements will be summarized using standard descriptive 
methods. 
Demographic summaries will include sex, race/ethnicity, and age. 
Baseline data will include a sUllllnaty of body weight, height, body mass index, and 
randomization stratification group (presence or absence of diabetes) and other disease 
characteristic vm·iables.

Safety Analysis
All safety data collected on or after the date that GS-9674 was first dispensed up to the date of 
last dose of GS-9674 plus 30 days will be summarized by treatment group. Data for the 
pretreatment and follow-up periods will be included in data listings. 
8.6.1.
Extent of Exposure
Data for a subject’s extent of exposure to GS-9674 will be generated from the study drug
administration eCRF. Exposure data will be summarized by treatment group.
8.6.2.
Adverse Events
Clinical and laboratory adverse events will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for 
Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). System Organ Class (SOC), High-Level Group Term 
(HLGT), High-Level Term (HLT), Preferred Term (PT), and Lower-Level Term (LLT) will be 
attached to the clinical database. Adverse event severity will be graded using the CTCAE 
Version 4.03.
Events will be summarized on the basis of the date of onset for the event. A treatment-emergent 
adverse event (TEAE) will be defined as 1 or both of the following:

Any AEs with an onset date on or after the study drug start date and no later than 30 days 
after permanent discontinuation of study drug.

Any AEs leading to premature discontinuation of study drug.
Summaries (number and percentage of subjects) of TEAEs by SOC and PT will be provided. 
Treatment-emergent AEs will also be summarized by relationship to study drug and severity. In 
addition, TEAEs leading to premature discontinuation of study drug and study will be 
summarized and listed.
All AEs collected during the course of the study will be presented in data listings with a field for 
treatment-emergent event (yes/no). 
8.6.3.
Laboratory Evaluations
Selected laboratory data will be summarized (n, mean, SD, Median, Q1, Q3, minimum, and 
maximum) by treatment group and study visit along with the corresponding change from 
baseline values. 
Graded laboratory abnormalities will be defined using the grading scheme in the CTCAE 
Version 4.03 (Appendix 3). Grading of laboratory abnormalities for analysis purposes will be 
performed by the central laboratory.
Incidence of treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities, defined as values that increase at least 
1 toxicity grade from baseline at any time post baseline up to and including the date of last dose

Sample Size 
Due to the exploratmy nature of this study, no fotmal power calculations were used to detetmine 
sample size. The number of subjects was chosen based on clinical experience with other similm· 
proof of concept studies. However, assmning that 4% of subjects in the placebo atm (N=25) and 
32% in the GS-9674 100 mg atm (N=50) have a ~ 30% reduction in MRI-PDFF at 
Week 24, this sample size will provide 80% power to detect the difference based on a two-sided 
Fisher's exact test at a significance level of 0.05.

Data Monitoring Committee
An independent, external data monitoring committee (DMC) that consists of two hepatologists 
and a PhD statistician will review the progress of the study and perform reviews of safety data. 
The DMC will convene once 20 subjects have been enrolled and will meet every 3 to 4 months 
thereafter to monitor the study for safety events. The DMC will meet on an ad hoc basis if there 
are at least 3 Grade ≥ 3 serious, treatment-related Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse 
Events (CTCAE) observed in the study. In the event of two similar Grade 4-CTCAE treatment-
related adverse events or one Grade 5-CTCAE treatment-related adverse event, the DMC will 
review the data and advise the sponsor regarding stopping or continuing the study. The DMC 
will provide recommendation to Gilead whether the nature, frequency, and severity of adverse 
effects associated with study treatment warrant the early termination of the study in the best 
interests of the participants, whether the study should continue as planned, or the study should 
continue with modifications. The DMC may also provide recommendations as needed regarding 
study design.
The DMC’s specific activities will be defined by a mutually agreed charter, which will define the 
DMC’s membership, conduct, and meeting schedule.
While the DMC will be asked to advise Gilead regarding future conduct of the study, including 
possible early study termination, Gilead retains final decision-making authority on all aspects of 
the study.

Declaration of Helsinki, International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines, or with 
the laws and regulations of the country in which the research is conducted, whichever affords the 
greater protection to the study subject. These standards are consistent with the European Union 
Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC and Good Clinical Practice Directive 2005/28/EC.
The investigator will ensure adherence to the basic principles of Good Clinical Practice, as 
outlined in 21 CFR 312, subpart D, “Responsibilities of Sponsors and Investigators,” 21 CFR, 
part 50, 1998, and 21 CFR, part 56, 1998.
The investigator and all applicable subinvestigators will comply with 21 CFR, Part 54, 1998, 
providing documentation of their financial interest or arrangements with Gilead, or proprietary 
interests in the investigational drug under study. This documentation must be provided prior to 
the investigator’s (and any subinvestigator’s) participation in the study. The investigator and 
subinvestigator agree to notify Gilead of any change in reportable interests during the study and 
for 1 year following completion of the study. Study completion is defined as the date when the 
last subject completes the protocol-defined activities.
9.1.2.
Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC)/ 
Ethics Committee (EC) Review and Approval
The investigator (or sponsor as appropriate according to local regulations) will submit this 
protocol, informed consent form, and any accompanying material to be provided to the subject 
(such as advertisements, subject information sheets, or descriptions of the study used to obtain 
informed consent) to an IRB/IEC/EC. The investigator will not begin any study subject activities 
until approval from the IRB/IEC/EC has been documented and provided as a letter to the 
investigator.
Before implementation, the investigator will submit to and receive documented approval from 
the IRB/IEC/EC any modifications made to the protocol or any accompanying material to be 
provided to the subject after initial IRB/IEC/EC approval, with the exception of those necessary 
to reduce immediate risk to study subjects.
9.1.3.
Informed Consent
The investigator is responsible for obtaining written informed consent from each individual 
participating in this study after adequate explanation of the aims, methods, objectives, and 
potential hazards of the study and before undertaking any study-related procedures. The 
investigator must use the most current IRB/IEC/EC-approved consent form for documenting

written informed consent. Each informed consent (or assent as applicable) will be appropriately 
signed and dated by the subject or the subject’s legally authorized representative and the person 
conducting the consent discussion, and also by an impartial witness if required by the 
IRB/IEC/EC or local requirements. The consent form will inform subjects about genomic testing 
and sample retention.
9.1.4.
Confidentiality
The investigator must assure that subjects’ anonymity will be strictly maintained and that their 
identities are protected from unauthorized parties. Only subject initials, date of birth, another 
unique identifier (as allowed by local law) and an identification code will be recorded on any 
form or biological sample submitted to the Sponsor, IRB/IEC/EC or laboratory. Laboratory 
specimens must be labeled in such a way as to protect subject identity while allowing the results 
to be recorded to the proper subject. Refer to the Central Laboratory Services Manual for specific 
laboratory instructions. NOTE: The investigator must keep a screening log showing codes, 
names, and addresses for all subjects screened and for all subjects enrolled in the study. Subject 
data will be processed in accordance with all applicable regulations.
The investigator agrees that all information received from Gilead, including but not limited to the 
investigator brochure, this protocol, eCRF, the study drug, and any other study information, 
remain the sole and exclusive property of Gilead during the conduct of the study and thereafter. 
This information is not to be disclosed to any third party (except employees or agents directly 
involved in the conduct of the study or as required by law) without prior written consent from 
Gilead. The investigator further agrees to take all reasonable precautions to prevent the 
disclosure by any employee or agent of the study site to any third party or otherwise into the 
public domain.
9.1.5.
Study Files and Retention of Records
The investigator must maintain adequate and accurate records to enable the conduct of the study 
to be fully documented and the study data to be subsequently verified. These documents should 
be classified into at least the following two categories: (1) investigator’s study file, and 
(2) subject clinical source documents.
The investigator’s study file will contain the protocol/amendments, CRF and query forms,
IRB/IEC/EC and governmental approval with correspondence, informed consent, drug records, 
staff curriculum vitae and authorization forms, and other appropriate documents and 
correspondence.
The required source data should include sequential notes containing at least the following 
information for each subject:

Subject identification (name, date of birth, gender);

Documentation that subject meets eligibility criteria, ie, history, physical examination, and 
confirmation of diagnosis (to support inclusion and exclusion criteria);

GS-9674
Protocol GS-US-402-1852
Final
Gilead Sciences, Inc. 
Original
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 73
28 June 2016

Documentation of the reason(s) a consented subject is not enrolled;

Participation in study (including study number);

Study discussed and date of informed consent;

Dates of all visits;

Documentation that protocol specific procedures were performed;

Results of efficacy parameters, as required by the protocol;

Start and end date (including dose regimen) of GS-9674, including dates of dispensing and 
return;

Record of all adverse events and other safety parameters (start and end date, and including 
causality and severity);

Concomitant medication (including start and end date, dose if relevant; dose changes);

Date of study completion and reason for early discontinuation, if it occurs.
All clinical study documents must be retained by the investigator until at least 2 years or 
according to local laws, whichever is longer, after the last approval of a marketing application in 
an ICH region (ie, United States, Europe, or Japan) and until there are no pending or planned 
marketing applications in an ICH region; or, if no application is filed or if the application is not 
approved for such indication, until 2 years after the investigation is discontinued and regulatory 
authorities have been notified. Investigators may be required to retain documents longer if 
specified by regulatory requirements, by local regulations, or by an agreement with Gilead. The 
investigator must notify Gilead before destroying any clinical study records.
Should the investigator wish to assign the study records to another party or move them to another 
location, Gilead must be notified in advance.
If the investigator cannot provide for this archiving requirement at the study site for any or all of 
the documents, special arrangements must be made between the investigator and Gilead to store 
these records securely away from the site so that they can be returned sealed to the investigator 
in case of an inspection. When source documents are required for the continued care of the 
subject, appropriate copies should be made for storage away from the site.
9.1.6.
Case Report Forms
For each subject consented, an electronic case report form (eCRF) will be completed by an 
authorized study staff member whose training for this function is documented according to study 
procedures. eCRF should be completed on the day of the subject visit to enable the sponsor to 
perform central monitoring of safety data. The Eligibility Criteria eCRF should be completed 

GS-9674
Protocol GS-US-402-1852
Final
Gilead Sciences, Inc. 
Original
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 74
28 June 2016
only after all data related to eligibility have been received. Subsequent to data entry, a study 
monitor will perform source data verification within the electronic data capture (EDC) system. 
Original entries as well as any changes to data fields will be stored in the audit trail of the 
system. Prior to database lock (or any interim time points as described in the clinical data 
management plan), the investigator will use his/her log in credentials to confirm that the forms 
have been reviewed, and that the entries accurately reflect the information in the source 
documents. The eCRF capture the data required per the protocol schedule of events and 
procedures. System-generated or manual queries will be issued to the investigative site staff as 
data discrepancies are identified by the monitor or internal Gilead staff, who routinely review the 
data for completeness, correctness, and consistency. The site coordinator is responsible for 
responding to the queries in a timely manner, within the system, either by confirming the data as 
correct or updating the original entry, and providing the reason for the update (eg, data entry 
error). At the conclusion of the study, Gilead will provide the site with a read-only archive copy 
of the data entered by that site. This archive must be stored in accordance with the records 
retention requirements outlined in Section 9.1.5.
9.1.7.
Investigational Medicinal Product Accountability and Return
Where possible, study drug should be destroyed at the site. If the site does not have acceptable 
procedures in place for drug destruction, arrangements will be made between the site and 
Gilead Sciences (or Gilead Sciences’ representative) for return of unused study drug supplies.
The study monitor will provide instructions for return.
The study monitor will evaluate each study center’s study drug disposal procedures and provide 
appropriate instruction for destruction of unused study drug supplies. If the site has an 
appropriate standard operating procedure (SOP) for drug destruction as determined by Gilead 
QA, the site may destroy used (empty or partially empty) and unused study drug supplies in 
accordance with that site’s approved SOP. A copy of the site’s approved SOP will be obtained 
for central files. 
If study drug is destroyed on site, the investigator must maintain accurate records for all study 
drug destroyed. Records must show the identification and quantity of each unit destroyed, the 
method of destruction, and the person who disposed of the study drug. Upon study completion, 
copies of the study drug accountability records must be filed at the site. Another copy will be 
returned to Gilead. Refer to the Pharmacy Binder for study drug disposal/return instructions.
The study monitor will review study drug supplies and associated records at periodic intervals.
9.1.8.
Inspections
The investigator will make available all source documents and other records for this study to 
Gilead’s appointed study monitors, the IRB/IEC/EC, or to regulatory authority or health 
authority inspectors.

eCRF.
The monitor is responsible for routine review of the eCRF at regular intervals throughout the 
study to verify adherence to the protocol and the completeness, consistency, and accuracy of the 
data being entered on them. The monitor should have access to any subject records needed to 
verify the entries on the eCRF. The investigator agrees to cooperate with the monitor to ensure 
that any problems detected through any type of monitoring (central, on site) are resolved.
9.3.3.
Monitoring and Oversight of Biomarker Specimens 
Biomarker research specimens will be tracked in a manner consistent with Good Clinical 
Practice by a quality-controlled, auditable, and appropriately validated laboratory information 
management system, to ensure compliance with data confidentiality as well as adherence to 
authorized use of specimens as specified in this protocol and in the Informed Consent Form.  
9.3.4.
Access to Information for Auditing or Inspections
Representatives of regulatory authorities or of Gilead may conduct inspections or audits of the 
clinical study. If the investigator is notified of an inspection by a regulatory authority the 
investigator agrees to notify the Gilead medical monitor immediately. The investigator agrees to 
provide to representatives of a regulatory agency or Gilead access to records, facilities, and 
personnel for the effective conduct of any inspection or audit.

Pregnancy Precautions, Definition for Female of Childbearing 
Potential, and Contraceptive Requirements
1) Definitions
a. Definition of Childbearing Potential
For the purposes of this study, a female born subject is considered of childbearing potential 
following the initiation of puberty (Tanner stage 2) until becoming post-menopausal, unless 
permanently sterile or with medically documented ovarian failure.
Women are considered to be in a postmenopausal state when they are > 54 years of age with 
cessation of previously occurring menses for > 12 months without an alternative cause. In 
addition, women of any age with amenorrhea of > 12 months may also be considered 
postmenopausal if their follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level is in the postmenopausal range 
and they are not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy.
Permanent sterilization includes hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral 
salpingectomy in a female subject of any age.
b. Definition of Male Fertility
For the purposes of this study, a male born subject is considered fertile after the initiation of 
puberty unless permanently sterile by bilateral orchidectomy or medical documentation.
2) Contraception Requirements for Female Subjects
a.
Study Drug Effects on Pregnancy and Hormonal Contraception
The risks of treatment with GS-9674 during pregnancy have not been evaluated. There are no 
pre-clinical data available to determine whether GS-9674 is teratogenic or fetotoxic in early 
human pregnancy. Pregnancy must therefore be excluded before the start of treatment with study 
drug and prevented thereafter by reliable, highly effective contraceptive methods. Pregnancy 
tests will be performed regularly throughout this study. Please refer to the latest version of the 
investigator’s brochure for additional information.
Drug-drug interaction (DDI) with hormones used for contraception is not available. There are 
insufficient data to exclude the possibility of a clinically relevant interaction between GS-9674 
and hormonal contraceptives that result in reduced contraception efficacy. Therefore, the use of 
hormonal contraception with GS-9674 is not recommended.
b. Contraception Requirements for Female Subjects of Childbearing Potential
The inclusion of female subjects of childbearing potential requires the use of highly effective 
contraceptive measures. They must also not rely on hormone-containing contraceptives as a form 
of birth control during the study. They must have a negative serum pregnancy test at Screening 
and a negative pregnancy test on the Baseline/Day 1 visit prior to randomization. Pregnancy tests

will be performed at monthly intervals thereafter. Female subjects must agree to one of the 
following from Screening until 30 days following the last dose of the study drug, GS-9674.

Complete abstinence from intercourse of reproductive potential. Abstinence is an acceptable 
method of contraception only when it is in line with the subject’s preferred and usual 
lifestyle.
Or

Consistent and correct use of 1 of the following methods of birth control listed below. 
Intrauterine device (IUD) with a failure rate of <1% per year
Tubal sterilization
Essure micro-insert system (provided confirmation of success 3 months after procedure)
Vasectomy in the male partner (provided that the partner is the sole sexual partner and 
had confirmation of surgical success 3 months after procedure)
Female subjects must also refrain from egg donation and in vitro fertilization during treatment 
and until at least 30 days after the last dose of the study drug, GS-9674.
3) Contraception Requirements for Male Subjects
It is theoretically possible that a relevant systemic concentration may be achieved in a female 
partner from exposure of the male subject’s seminal fluid. Therefore, male subjects with female 
partners of childbearing potential must use condoms (plus spermicide) during treatment and until 
90 days after the last dose of GS-9674. Additional contraception recommendations should also 
be considered if the female partner is not pregnant.
Male subjects must also refrain from sperm donation during treatment and until at least 90 days 
after the last dose of the study drug, GS-9674.
4) Unacceptable Birth Control Methods
Birth control methods that are unacceptable include periodic abstinence (eg, calendar, ovulation, 
symptothermal, postovulation methods), withdrawal (coitus interruptus), spermicides only, and 
lactational amenorrhea method (LAM). Female condom and male condom should not be used 
together.
5) Procedures to be Followed in the Event of Pregnancy
Subjects will be instructed to notify the investigator if they become pregnant at any time during 
the study, or if they become pregnant within 30 days (or 90 days for the partner of male subjects)
of last study drug dose. Subjects who become pregnant or who suspect that they are pregnant 
during the study must report the information to the investigator and discontinue study drug 
immediately. Subjects whose partner has become pregnant or suspects she is pregnant during the 
study must report the information to the investigator. Instructions for reporting pregnancy, 
partner pregnancy, and pregnancy outcome are outlined in Section 7.6.2.1.
