Patients will be enrolled in the study if they meet all of the following criteria:
1. (Cohort 1) A Japense male or female patient, with diagnosis of PFIC Type 1 or 2 through identification of biallelic pathogenic variants in either the ATP8B1 or ABCB11 genes, between the ages of >=6 months and <18 years at Visit 1 (informed consent) with a body weight above 5 kg.
2. (Cohort 2) Among patients who do not meet item 1 above upon confirmation of gene examination, those with PFIC aged 3 months or older at Visit 1 (informed consent) and weighed above 5 kg.
After the enrollment period of Cohort 1, patients who are eligible for Cohort 1 will be included in Cohort 2.
3. During the screening period, patient must have elevated s-BA concentration, specifically measured to be >=100 micro mol/L, taken as the average of 2 samples at least 7 days apart (Visits 1 and 2) prior to randomization
4. Patient must have history of significant pruritus and a patient or guardian-reported observed scratching in the Patient Diary average of >=2 (on 0 to 4 scale) in the 2 weeks prior to Visit 3. However, if the patient in Cohort 2 is 18 years or older, the patient must have a history of significant pruritus and a patient -reported observed scratching in the Patient Diary with average itching score of >=2 (on 0 to 4 scale) in the 2 weeks prior to Visit 3.
5. Patient and/or legal guardian who can sign informed consent (or assent if the patient is below 15 years old) as appropriate. Patients who turn 18 years of age (or legal age per country) during the study will be required to re-consent in order to remain in the study
6. Patients who are judged by the investigator or subinvestigator to be able to continue treatment with the study drug for at least 24 weeks.
7. Patients will be expected to have a consistent guardian for the duration of the study (Parents and grandparents are preferred as guardians. It is preferable that the same guardian will answer the patient diary and other questionnaires, but parents and grandparents can be changed if it is unavoidable).
For Cohort 2, if the patient is 18 years of age or older at the time of Visit 1 (when informed consent is obtained), setting of the guardian in this study is not mandatory.
8. Guardians and age-appropriate patients (>=8 years of age) and patients who achieve 8 years of age during the study must be willing and able to use an Patient Diary as required by the study
Patients who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from the study:
1. Patient with pathologic variations of the ABCB11 gene that predict complete absence of the BSEP protein
2. Patient with past medical history or ongoing complication of liver disaese other than underlying disease, but not limited to, the following:
a) Biliary atresia of any kind
b) Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis, indicated by any test results of normal s-Bas
c) Suspected or proven liver cancer or metastasis to the liver on imaging studies
d) Histopathology on liver biopsy is suggestive of alternate non-PFIC related etiology of cholestasis
3. Patient with a past medical history or ongoing presence of any other disease or condition known to interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism (specifically bile acid metabolism), or excretion of drugs in the intestine, including but not limited to, inflammatory bowel disease
4. Patient with past medical history or ongoing chronic (i.e., >3 months) diarrhea requiring intravenous fluid or nutritional intervention for treatment of the diarrhea and/or its sequelae
5. Patient who has the followings:
a) A confirmed past diagnosis of infection with human immunodeficiency virus
b) Present and active, clinically significant, acute, or chronic infection
c) Past medical history of any major episode of infection requiring hospitalization within 4 weeks of treatment start (study Day 1)
d) Treatment with parenteral anti-infective treatment within 4 weeks of treatment start (study Day 1)
e) Completion of oral anti-infective treatment within 2 weeks prior to start of Screening Period
6. Patient who have diagnosis and treatment history of malignancy within 5 years prior to obtaining concent.
7. Patient with a past medical history of chronic kidney disease with an impaired renal function and a glomerular filtration rate <70 mL/min/1.73 m2 at Screening.
8. Patient with surgical history of endobiliary or extrabiliary fistula within 6 months prior to start of Screening Period.
9. Patient who has a history of liver transplantation or plan to undergo liver transplantation within 6 months after obtaining consent
10. Decompensated liver disease, coagulopathy, history or presence of clinically significant ascites, variceal hemorrhage, and/or encephalopathy
11. International normalized ratio (INR) >1.4 at Screening
(the patient who is treated with Vitamin K intravenously, and the INR is =<1.4 at resampling may be enrolled)
12. Serum ALT >10^ upper limit of normal (ULN) at Screening
13. Serum ALT >15^ ULN at any time point during the last 6 months and the alternate etiology for the elevation is not confirmed
14. Total bilirubin >10^ ULN at Screening
15. Patient suffers from uncontrolled, recalcitrant pruritic condition other than PFIC. Examples include, but not limited to, refractory atopic dermatitis or other primary pruritic skin diseases
16. Any patient who is pregnant or lactating or who is planning to become pregnan
17. Sexually active males and females who are not using a reliable contraceptive method with =<1% failure rate (such as hormonal contraception, intrauterine device, or complete abstinence) throughout the duration of the study and 90 days thereafter (from signed informed consent through 90 days after last dose of study drug).
18. Patient with a past medical history of alcohol or substance abuse will be excluded. Patient must agree to refrain from illicit drug and alcohol use during the study
