Total bilirubin \< 2 x ULN at screening (Visit 1)
Must provide written informed consent and agree to comply with the trial protocol.

Criterios de exclusión

Consumption of 2 standard alcohol drinks per day if male and 1 standard alcohol drink per day if female for at least 3 consecutive months (12 consecutive weeks) within 5 year before screening (Note: 1 unit = 12 ounces of beer, 4 ounces of wine or 1 ounce of spirits/hard liquor).

I. ALP \> 2 x ULN or GGT \> 5 x ULN. II. AMA positive III. Florid bile duct lesion on histology. AND
At least two of the following three features:
I. ALT \> 5 x ULN. II. Immunoglobulin G serum levels \> 2 x ULN or smooth muscle autoantibody positive.
III. Moderate to severe interface hepatitis on histology. e. Hemochromatosis. f. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) on historical biopsy. 3.Cirrhosis with complications, including history or presence of: spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, hepatocellular carcinoma, ascites requiring treatment, encephalopathy, known large esophageal varices or history of variceal bleeding within one year prior to screening or history of hepatorenal syndrome.

b. History/current unstable cardiac dysrhythmias. c. Uncontrolled hypertension at screening. d. Stroke or transient ischemic attack in the 24 weeks before screening. 12.History of intracranial hemorrhage, arteriovenous malformation, bleeding disorder, coagulation disorders, or screening blood tests that, in the opinion of the Investigator, indicate altered coagulability (e.g., PT, INR, aPTT) at screening.
An uncontrolled thyroid disorder
Uncontrolled hyperthyroidism: defined as any history of hyperthyroidism that has either not been treated with either radioactive iodine and/or surgery or that has been treated with radioactive iodine and/or surgery, but has required ongoing continuous or intermittent use of thyroid hormone synthesis inhibitors (i.e., methimazole or propylthiouracil) in the 24 weeks before screening.
Uncontrolled hypothyroidism: defined as initiation of thyroid hormone replacement therapy or dose adjustment of replacement therapy in the 12 weeks before screening.
History of myopathies or evidence of active muscle disease demonstrated by CPK ≥ 5 x ULN at screening.
Subjects whose ALT, AST, or ALP exceeds by more than 50% on Visit 2 reading compared to Visit 1. Note: If the ALT, AST, or ALP values on Visit 2 exceed by more than 50% from Visit 1, then a third value will be measured (within 1- 2 weeks) to assess for the trend. If the third value shows continued increase ≥ 10%, then subject is considered ineligible for randomization.
Any of the following laboratory values at screening:
a. Platelets \< 50 × 109/L b. Albumin \< 2.8 g/dL c. eGFR \< 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 d. ALP \> 10 x ULN e. ALT or AST \> 250 U/L 17.Participation in another interventional clinical study and receipt of any other investigational medication (within 12 weeks prior to randomization up to end of study).

Refer Appendix 8 Contraceptive Guidance 22.History or other evidence of severe illness or any other conditions that would make the subject, in the opinion of the Investigator, unsuitable for the study (such as poorly controlled psychiatric disease, HIV, coronary artery disease, or active gastrointestinal conditions that might interfere with drug absorption).
