- Agree to have one liver biopsy at Screening, one at Year 1, and one at the end of
study treatment (Year 2)

- AST and ALT ≤ 5 × upper limit of normal (ULN)

Exclusion Criteria:

- Hepatitis B surface Antigen (HBsAg) positive

- Hepatitis C antibody (HCVAb) positive with the following 2 exceptions:

1. Subjects previously treated for viral hepatitis C with at least a 1-year period
since documented sustained virologic response at Week 12 (post-treatment) may be
eligible if all other eligibility criteria are met

2. Subjects with presence of hepatitis C antibody but negative hepatitis C virus RNA
without treatment (i.e., spontaneous clearance) may be eligible if all other
eligibility criteria are met

- HIV-1 or HIV-2 infection

- Weight reduction through bariatric surgery in the past 5 years or planned during the
conduct of the study (including gastric banding)

with the dosing and protocol requirements.
