Study Summary

Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is a serious, life-threatening, bile acid related liver disease of unknown cause. Without treatment, it frequently progresses to liver fibrosis and eventual cirrhosis requiring liver transplantation or resulting in death. The investigational drug, Obeticholic Acid (OCA) is a modified bile acid and FXR agonist that is derived from the primary human bile acid chenodeoxycholic acid. The key mechanisms of action of OCA, including its choleretic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fibrotic properties, underlie its hepatoprotective effects and result in attenuation of injury and improved liver function in a cholestatic liver disease such as PBC. The study will assess the effect of OCA compared to placebo, combined with stable standard care, on clinical outcomes in PBC participants.

Primary Outcome

To assess the effect of OCA, compared to placebo in conjunction with the established local standard of care, on clinical outcomes in participants with PBC as measured by time to the first occurrence of any of the following adjudicated events, derived as a composite event endpoint of death, liver transplant, model of end-stage liver disease (MELD) ≥15, uncontrolled ascites, or hospitalization for new onset or recurrence of variceal bleed, hepatic encephalopathy (as defined by a West Haven score o
