Experimental: PRI-724
Dose: 140, 280, 380 mg / m 2/4 hr Administration method: 【Phase I Phase】 (Level 1) 140 mg / m 2/4 hr (Level 2) 280 mg / m 2/4 hr (Level 3) 380 mg / m 2/4 hr Twice weekly, continuous 4-hour intravenous administration (tolerance of administration time: ± 15 minutes). This is one cycle and 12 cycles (12 weeks in total) are carried out. However, in Phase I phase, single dose is administered on Day - 7 (tolerance: - 7 days). 【Phase IIa phase】 Continuous intravenous administration for 4 hours twice a week at the recommended dose determined in Phase I. This is one cycle and 12 cycles (12 weeks in total) are carried out. |

- liver stiffness from Fibro Scan [ Time Frame: 12 weeks after administration ]Amount of change from measurement of liver stiffness by baseline from Fibro Scan at 12 weeks after administration
- Child Pugh score [ Time Frame: 12 weeks after administration ]Amount of change from baseline of Child-Pugh Score at 12 weeks after administration Child Pugh score (scale range 5-15) is obtained by adding the score for each parameter (encephalopathy, ascites, bilirubin, albumin, PT or INR).
- MELD score [ Time Frame: 12 weeks after administration ]
Amount of change from baseline for MELD score at 12 weeks after administration
The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) is a scoring system for assessing the severity of chronic liver disease and uses the subject's values for total bilirubin, serum creatinine, and the international normalized ratio (INR) for prothrombin time to predict survival. MELD is calculated according to the following formula:
MELD = 3.78×ln[serum bilirubin (mg/dL)] + 11.2×ln[INR] + 9.57×ln[serum creatinine (mg/dL)] + 6.43

- Serum fibrosis marker level(s) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks after administration ]Changes of level
- Ascitic fluid level [ Time Frame: 12 weeks after administration ]Changes of level
