1. Decompensated liver disease: coagulopathy, history, or presence of clinically significant ascites, variceal hemorrhage, and/or encephalopathy
2. Sexually active males and females who are not using a reliable contraceptive method with ≤1% failure rate (such as hormonal contraception, intra-uterine device, or complete abstinence) throughout the duration of the study and 90 days thereafter (from signed informed consent through 90 days after last dose of study drug).
3. Patients not compliant with treatment in study A4250-005
4. Any other conditions or abnormalities which, in the opinion of the investigator or Medical Monitor, may compromise the safety of the patient, or interfere with the patient participating in or completing the study
Cohort 2:
1. Known pathologic variations of the ABCB11 gene that have been
demonstrated to result in complete absence of the BSEP protein
2. Patient with past medical history or ongoing presence of other types of liver disease.
3. Patient has had a liver transplant, or a liver transplant is planned within 6 months of the Screening/Inclusion Visit
4. Decompensated liver disease, coagulopathy, history, or presence of clinically significant ascites, variceal hemorrhage, and/or encephalopathy
5. INR >1.4 (the patient may be treated with Vitamin K intravenously, and if INR is ≤1.4 at resampling the patient may be randomized)
6. Serum ALT >10 × upper limit of normal (ULN) at Screening
7. Serum ALT >15 × ULN at any time point during the last 6 months unless an alternate etiology was confirmed for the elevation
8. Total bilirubin >10 × ULN at Screening
9. Patient suffers from uncontrolled, recalcitrant pruritic condition other than PFIC.
10. Administration of bile acid or lipid binding resins and medications
that slow GI motility
11. Any other conditions or abnormalities which, in the opinion of the investigator or Medical Monitor, may compromise the safety of the patient, or interfere with the patient participating in or completing the study |
