Week 192: Percentage of Participants With Histologic Improvement (Efficacy Evaluable Cohort)Baseline to Week 192

The Knodell Histologic Activity Index scores stage of necrosis and grade of inflammation in liver biopsies. Components are necrosis near the portal vein, intralobular degeneration and focal necrosis, portal inflammation, and fibrosis. The 4 components are scored from 1 to 4 and 1 to 10 (necrosis near the portal vein) and combined for a total score, with 22 being the highest possible score. Higher the score for each component=greater liver damage. Histologic improvement=a ≥2-point reduction in total Knodell score and no worsening in fibrosis. Cohort participants had to have adequate baseline and long-term biopsy samples and baseline Knodell necroinflammatory scores ≥2.

Week 192: Percentage of Participants With Improvement in Fibrosis (Efficacy Evaluable Cohort)Baseline to Week 192

The Ishak Modification for Hepatic Activity Index (HAI) scores necroinflammatory activity in chronic hepatitis. 0=no fibrosis, 1=fibrosis expansion of some portal areas, 2=fibrosis expansion of most portal areas, 3=fibrosis expansion of most portal areas with occasional bridging, 4=fibrosis expansion of portal areas with marked bridging, 5=incomplete cirrhosis, 6=probable or definite cirrhosis. Higher score=more severe necrosis. Improvement in fibrosis=≥1-point reduction in HAI score. Cohort participants had to have adequate baseline and long-term biopsy samples and baseline Knodell scores ≥2.
