- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: The primary objective is to assess the effects of the combination of OCA and BZF on alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in comparison to BZF alone in subjects with PBC.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives are to assess the effects of the combination of OCA and BZF in comparison to BZF alone in subjects with PBC on the following: - Biochemical disease markers, including ALP, GGT, ALT, AST, total and conjugated bilirubin and a lipid panel - Biomarkers of bile acid synthesis and homeostasis, including 7a- hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one (C4) and bile acids - Safety and tolerability;Primary end point(s): Change in ALP from baseline to Week 12 in the DB Period
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary end point(s):The response rates of =10%, =20%, =30%, and =40% reduction from baseline and normalization rates of ALP at Week 12;Secondary end point(s):Normalization rates at Week 12 of GGT, ALT, AST, ALP, total and conjugated bilirubin, and a lipid panel;Secondary end point(s):Change from baseline to Week 12 in GGT, ALT, AST, and total and conjugated bilirubin, and a lipid panel;Secondary end point(s):Change from baseline to Week 12 in 7a-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one (C4) and bile acids
