The patient agreed to use adequate method of contraception during the study, starting from the time of Informed Consent signing and until completion of the Follow-up Period. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Intolerance or hypersensitivity to the active ingredient or other components of the study drug Myrcludex B. 2.

Total bilirubin \> 34.2 µM/L. Patients with higher total bilirubin may be enrolled upon consultation with the study Medical Monitor, if there is clear evidence that the elevated bilirubin is caused by Gilbert's syndrome. 8.

Signs of drug- or alcohol-induced liver disease or any other medical conditions associated with chronic liver disease (e.g. autoimmune hepatitis, hemochromatosis, thalassaemia, alcoholic hepatitis, toxic liver disease). 12. Contraindications for liver biopsy. 13. Concurrent malignancy (current diagnosed or suspected malignancy; risk of a previous malignancy recurrence). 14. Severe decompensated cardiovascular diseases, including unstable and poorly controlled conditions, over 6 months before Screening. 15. History of poorly controlled thyroid conditions or clinically significant signs of thyroid dysfunction at Screening. 16. Previous or current severe renal failure or significant renal dysfunction at Screening. 17. Previous or current chronic pulmonary disease with respiratory distortion at Screening. 18. Previous or current severe retinopathy, significant ophthalmology disorders associated with diabetes mellitus or hypertension. 19.

Signs of drug and/or alcohol dependence (80 g of alcohol/day for men and 40 g of alcohol/day for women) within 1 year before Screening. 23. History of immune disorders (e.g. idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, lupus erythematosus, sclerodermia, severe psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis). 24. Need for concomitant use of glucocorticoids or myelotoxic agents. 25. Participation in another clinical study within 30 days prior to enrollment into this study. 26. Pregnant or breast-feeding females. 27. Any other condition that, in the opinion of Investigator, precludes the patient from taking part in this study.
