Participant Flow

A total of 140 subjects from 26 US sites were screened, of whom 87 subjects were randomized. One subject randomized to placebo withdrew from the study before taking study drug. Disposition data is provided for the initial 3-month randomized, placebo-controlled phase on which the primary efficacy and safety analyses were based

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 Months

Population: FAS

The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) is a scoring system for assessing the severity of chronic liver disease and uses the subject's values for total bilirubin, serum creatinine, and the international normalized ratio (INR) for prothrombin time to predict survival. MELD is calculated according to the following formula: MELD = 3.78×ln\[serum bilirubin (mg/dL)\] + 11.2×ln\[INR\] + 9.57×ln\[serum creatinine (mg/dL)\] + 6.43 MELD scores are reported as whole numbers, so the result of the equation above is rounded. Notes: If the patient has been dialyzed twice within the last 7 days, then the value for serum creatinine used should be 4.0. Any value less than one is given a value of 1 (i.e. if bilirubin is 0.8, a value of 1.0 is used) to prevent the occurrence of scores below 0 (the natural logarithm of 1 is 0, and any value below 1 would yield a negative result). The higher the MELD score the more severe the disease state.
