• •Severe complications of cirrhosis with any of the following: active bleeding from esophageal or gastric varices; severe/advanced ascites or pleural effusion requiring paracentesis or drainage and albumin supplementation; hepatorenal syndrome; or any other condition deemed by the investigator as unsuitable for study participation.
• •Participants with poorly controlled hypertension (systolic blood pressure \>160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \>100 mmHg) or heart rate \>120 bpm (allow two repeat measurements).
• •Any history of severe disease other than the primary liver disease itself, or any medical history or clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings considered by the investigator as likely to affect the trial results, including but not limited to history of circulatory, endocrine, neurological, digestive, urinary, hematological, immunological, psychiatric, or metabolic disorders.
• •Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and/or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \>5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) at screening.
