1. | The drug causes hepatocellular injury, generally shown by a higher incidence of ≥3xULN of ALT or AST than the (nonhepatotoxic) control drug or placebo. |
2. | Among trial subjects showing such AT elevations, often with ATs much greater than 3xULN, one or more also show elevation of serum TBL to >2xULN, without initial findings of cholestasis (elevated serum ALP). |
3. | No other reason can be found to explain the combination of increased AT and TBL, such as viral hepatitis A, B, or C; preexisting or acute liver disease; or another drug capable of causing the observed injury. |
