Participants will be administered with FDC tablets once daily.
Number of participants reporting adverse events (AE) and serious adverse event (SAE)
Time frame: Up to 60 months
Number of participants with 50 percent (%) reduction of pruritus determined by visual analogue scale (VAS) score
The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) measures pain intensity. The VAS consists of a 10-centimeter (cm) line, with two end points representing 0 ('no pain') and 10 ('pain as bad as it could possibly be').
Time frame: Up to 60 months
Number of participants reporting all-cause mortality
Time frame: Up to 60 months
Number of participants with Adjudicated Liver Related Clinical Outcomes - Liver transplant
Time frame: Up to 60 months
Number of participants with Adjudicated Liver Related Clinical Outcomes - Progression to hepatic decompensation
Time frame: Up to 60 months
Number of participants with Adjudicated Liver Related Clinical Outcomes - Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) Score ≥15
MELD is a scoring system for assessing the severity of chronic liver disease and to assess prognosis and suitability for liver transplantation. It uses the participant's values for total bilirubin, serum creatinine, and the international normalized ratio (INR) for prothrombin time to predict survival. MELD score ranges from 6 (less ill) to 40 (gravely ill) with scores and mortality probability being: Score 40=71.3% mortality; Scores 30-39=52.6% mortality; Scores 20-29=19.6% mortality; Scores 10-19=6.0% mortality; Score 9 or less=1.9% mortality. Higher scores indicated greater disease severity. Adjudication was performed under the review of HSAC of all available data for each identified participant to determine liver injury status.
Time frame: Up to 60 months
