Barrier methods of contraception: condom OR occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository 8. Female subject with childbearing potential who is pregnant (confirmed by urine or serum pregnancy test) or lactating 9. Having participated other investigational study within 4 weeks of entering this study 10. Has a known allergy to study intervention or its excipients. If there is suspicion that the subject may have an allergy, the subject should be excluded.
11. With ongoing infection requiring systemic treatment such as HIV, syphilis or acute infectious disease except HBV or HCV Note: HIV = human immunodeficiency virus 12.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change from Baseline to Week 48 in The METAVIR score
Time Frame: 48 weeks
|
The METAVIR score is a tool used to evaluate the severity of fibrosis seen on a liver biopsy sample. The METAVIR score grades the degree of fibrosis on a 5-point scale from 0 to 4 as follows: F0: No fibrosis F1: Portal fibrosis without septa F2: Portal fibrosis with few septa F3: Numerous septa without cirrhosis F4: Cirrhosis |
48 weeks
|
Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change from Baseline to Week 24 in The METAVIR score
Time Frame: 24 weeks
|
The METAVIR score is a tool used to evaluate the severity of fibrosis seen on a liver biopsy sample. The METAVIR score grades the degree of fibrosis on a 5-point scale from 0 to 4 as follows: F0: No fibrosis F1: Portal fibrosis without septa F2: Portal fibrosis with few septa F3: Numerous septa without cirrhosis F4: Cirrhosis |
24 weeks
|
Change from baseline to Weeks 24, and 48 in Fibroscan® score for liver elasticity
Time Frame: 24 weeks, 48 weeks
|
Fibroscan® is a non-invasive modality to measure elasticity of liver tissue. A fibroscan® score is a numerical result between 2-75. A 'normal' Fibroscan range tends to be between 2-7 with an average result being roughly around 5. Scarring of the liver is measured by four stages. F0 = no scarring F1 = mild fibrosis F2 = moderate fibrosis F3 = severe fibrosis F4 = cirrhosis or advanced fibrosis |
24 weeks, 48 weeks
|
Change from baseline to Weeks 12, 24, 36, and 48 in the MELD score
Time Frame: 12 weeks, 24 weeks, 36 weeks, 48 weeks
|
The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease, or MELD, is a scoring system for assessing the severity of the chronic liver disease.
MELD score is calculated according to the subject's values for serum total bilirubin, serum creatinine, and INR.
|
12 weeks, 24 weeks, 36 weeks, 48 weeks
|
Change from baseline to Weeks 12, 24, 36, and 48 in the Child-Pugh score
Time Frame: 12 weeks, 24 weeks, 36 weeks, 48 weeks
|
The Child-Pugh score is used to assess the prognosis of chronic liver disease, mainly cirrhosis.
The score employs five clinical measures of liver disease.
Each measure is scored 1-3, with 3 indicating most severe derangement.
|
12 weeks, 24 weeks, 36 weeks, 48 weeks
|
Incidence of adverse event(AE) and SAE
Time Frame: 0-48 weeks
|
An adverse event (AE) can be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not relate with the medicinal (investigational) product.
|
0-48 weeks
|
Incidence of serious adverse event (SAE)
Time Frame: 0-48 weeks
|
An adverse event (AE) or suspected adverse reaction is considered "serious" if, in the view of either the investigator or sponsor, it results in any of the following outcomes (based on ICH GCP):
|
0-48 weeks
