Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Time to Liver Transplantation or Death Through 1 Year After Randomization: Percentage of Participants With an Event
Up to Day 361

Time to one-year transplant-free survival was calculated as earlier of \[(date of liver transplantation or date of death) - randomization date + 1\] for participants who died or had liver transplant within the analysis period of 361 days. Participants who neither died nor had liver transplant within analysis period had their time to event censored at earlier of date of last contact or cut-off date. Participants who terminated early for reasons other than death were followed up at months 3, 6, and 12 to collect information on liver transplantation and death, these events if reported by cut-off Day 361, were considered for the endpoint. The percentage of participants with events are presented. The percentage of participants was calculated as \[(participants with an event up to the analysis cut-off Day 361) / (number of participants in the ITT group)\].

Secondary Endpoints
