- Child-Pugh B7 or B8 cirrhosis at screening and within 7 days prior to study treatment

- Adequate hematologic and end-organ function

- Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks

- Female participants of childbearing potential must be willing to avoid pregnancy and egg donation General

Exclusion Criteria:
