4. The determination of AH may be based on typical serum chemistry (as determined by local laboratory) or liver biopsy at any time during the current episode of AH:
* Serum total bilirubin \> 3.0 mg/dL
* 50 \< AST \< 400 IU/L
* ALT \< 400 IU/L
* AST/ALT \> 1.5
5. Maddrey discriminant function (MDF) ≥ 32 assuming a control prothrombin time of 12 seconds.
6. Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) score: 21-30.
7. Liver biopsy is not required, but may be used to confirm the diagnosis of AH at the Investigator's discretion. Biopsy, if used as a diagnostic criterion, must have occurred during the current episode.
8. Male or female subjects 18 years of age or older.
9. Subjects must agree to use effective methods to prevent pregnancy while participating in the study.
