Overview
Brief Summary
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, open-label, single dose and multi-dose, dose-finding study with an optional open-label extension (OLE) to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of obeticholic acid (OCA) in pediatric subjects with biliary atresia with successful hepatoportoenterostomy (HPE, also known as a Kasai portoenterosomy). The OLE will continue to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of OCA. In addition, a change in vitamin A and D levels, and where possible the degree of change in liver stiffness, will be assessed during the OLE.

Arms & Interventions
SD (1.5mg adult-equivalent dose of OCA) + MD Low dose (1.5mg adult-equivalent dose of OCA)
At Single Dose (SD) phase, eligible subjects will receive a 1.5 mg adult-equivalent, body weight-based single dose of OCA on Day 1. Enrollment in the Multiple Dose (MD) Phase will occur in a sequential fashion. At Day 28, the first 8 (±1) eligible subjects will be assigned to the Low Dose Cohort and will receive a 1.5 mg adult-equivalent dose of OCA daily for 4 weeks. The adult-equivalent dose is based on a 70-kg adult. 2 OCA tablet dose strength (0.1mg and 1.5mg) are available in the study and dose will be determined using weight based dosing chart.
Intervention: OCA 0.1mg
SD (1.5mg adult-equivalent dose of OCA) + MD Low dose (1.5mg adult-equivalent dose of OCA)
At Single Dose (SD) phase, eligible subjects will receive a 1.5 mg adult-equivalent, body weight-based single dose of OCA on Day 1. Enrollment in the Multiple Dose (MD) Phase will occur in a sequential fashion. At Day 28, the first 8 (±1) eligible subjects will be assigned to the Low Dose Cohort and will receive a 1.5 mg adult-equivalent dose of OCA daily for 4 weeks. The adult-equivalent dose is based on a 70-kg adult. 2 OCA tablet dose strength (0.1mg and 1.5mg) are available in the study and dose will be determined using weight based dosing chart.
Intervention: OCA 1.5mg
SD (1.5mg adult-equivalent dose of OCA) + MD Medium dose (5mg adult-equivalent dose of OCA)
At Single Dose (SD) phase, eligible subjects will receive a 1.5 mg adult-equivalent, body weight-based single dose of OCA on Day 1. Upon safety and tolerability assessment in the Low Dose Cohort, 8 (±1) eligible subjects will be assigned to the Medium Dose Cohort and will receive a 5 mg adult-equivalent dose of OCA daily for 4 weeks. The adult-equivalent dose is based on a 70-kg adult. 3 OCA tablet dose strength (0.1mg, 1.5mg and 5mg tablets) are available in the study and dose will be determined using weight based dosing chart.
