- Conjugated bilirubin > 1 mg/dL.
- Fat soluble vitamin deficiency otherwise unexplainable.
- GGT > 3x ULN for age.
- Intractable pruritus explainable only by liver disease.
- Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test during Screening.
- Males and females of child-bearing potential who are sexually active, or are not currently sexually active during the study, but become sexually active during the period of the study and 30 days following the last dose of study drug, must agree and use acceptable contraception during the trial.

- Caregivers (and age-appropriate participants) must complete at least 10 eDiary reports (morning or evening) during each of two consecutive weeks of the screening period (maximum possible reports = 14 per week).
- Average daily score >2 on the Itch Reported Outcome (ItchRO™) questionnaire (maximum possible daily score of 4) for two consecutive weeks in the screening period, prior to dosing.

- History of non-adherence to medical regimens, unreliability, mental instability or incompetence that could compromise the validity of informed consent or lead to nonadherence with the study protocol based upon investigator judgment.
- Any other conditions or abnormalities which, in the opinion of the investigator or sponsor medical monitor, may compromise the safety of the participant, or interfere with the participant participating in or completing the study.
