A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Dose-ranging, Multicenter Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Rifaximin Soluble Solid Dispersion (SSD) Tablets for the Prevention of Complications in Subjects With Early Decompensated Liver Cirrhosis

The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of rifaximin SSD versus placebo
in preventing complications of liver cirrhosis, such as all-cause mortality (death due to all
causes) or hospitalization, in subjects with early decompensated liver cirrhosis.

Rifaximin, a non-systemic antibacterial agent, is currently marketed as a 550 mg tablet for
the reduction in risk of recurrent overt hepatic encephalopathy, a complication of liver
cirrhosis. The rifaximin SSD tablet was formulated to maximize the efficacy of rifaximin.

Subjects will receive 1 of 5 doses of rifaximin SSD tablets or placebo tablets every day for
24 weeks.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Diagnosis of liver cirrhosis and documented ascites.

- Model End Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score of at least 12, MELD Na of at least 12, or
Child-Pugh B (score of 7 - 9).

- If applicable, has a close family or other personal contacts who can provide
continuing oversight to the patient and will be available to the patient during the
conduct of the trial.

- If female of childbearing potential, have a negative serum pregnancy test at study
start and agree to use an acceptable method of contraception during the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Had prophylactic variceal banding within 2 weeks or is scheduled to undergo
prophylactic banding during the study.

- Diagnosed with an infection for which the patient is currently taking oral or
parenteral antibiotics.

- Significant hypovolemia, or any electrolyte abnormality that can affect mental
function (eg, serum sodium < 125 mEq/L, serum calcium > 10 mg/dL).

- Severe hypokalemia, defined as serum potassium concentration < 2.5 mEq/L.

- Anemic, defined as hemoglobin concentration ≤ 8 g/dL.

- Renal insufficiency with a creatinine of ≥ 1.5 mg/dL.

- Presence of intestinal obstruction or inflammatory bowel disease.

- Uncontrolled Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes.

- History of seizure disorders.

- Unstable cardiovascular or pulmonary disease, categorized by a worsening in the

skin, or if female, in situ cervical carcinoma that has been surgically excised).

- Has hepatocellular carcinoma.

- Known human immunodeficiency virus, varicella, herpes zoster, or other severe viral
infection within 6 weeks of study start.

- Positive stool test for Yersinia enterocolitica, Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella,

during the screening period prior to study start.

- History of tuberculosis infection and/or has received treatment for a tuberculosis
