Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of simtuzumab (GS-6624) in patients with fibrosis of the liver.

Up to 20 participants will be enrolled into two sequential cohorts. Cohort 1 will consist of 10 participants who will receive simtuzumab every other week for a total of 3 infusions. Participants in Cohort 2 (10 subjects) will also receive simtuzumab every other week for a total of 3 infusions; the dose will depend on the safety and tolerability of simtuzumab seen in Cohort 1.

Participants from both cohorts who have completed the main study will be allowed to continue on simtuzumab treatment for an additional extension period, and will receive up to 13 additional infusions of simtuzumab at a fixed dose of 700 mg for an additional 24 weeks.
