【Phase I Phase】 To evaluate safety and pharmacokinetics when PRI-724 is administered to patients with HCV or HBV liver cirrhosis , and determine the recommended dose of PRI-724.

【Phase IIa phase】 To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the recommended dose of PRI-724 administered to patients with HCV or HBV liver cirrhosis.
