Key

Exclusion Criteria

    2. Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis, indicated by any history of normal s BAs
    3. Suspected or proven liver cancer or metastasis to the liver on imaging studies
    4. Histopathology on liver biopsy that is suggestive of alternate non-PFIC related etiology of cholestasis
  • Participant with past medical history or ongoing chronic diarrhea

  • Any participant with suspected or confirmed cancers except for basal cell carcinoma

  • Participant with a past medical history of chronic kidney disease with an impaired renal function and a glomerular filtration rate <70 mL/min/1.73 m^2

  • Participant with surgical history of disruption of the enterohepatic circulation (biliary diversion surgery) within 6 months prior to start of Screening Period

  • Participant has had a liver transplant or a liver transplant is planned within 6 months of randomization

  • Decompensated liver disease

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Experiencing at Least a 70% Reduction in Fasting s-BA Concentration From Baseline to the End of Treatment or Reaching a Level <= 70 μmol/L After 24 Weeks of Treatment (European Union and Rest of the World Primary Endpoint)Over 24 weeks of treatment

Fasting s-BA baseline was calculated as the average of the last 2 values prior to the first dose. The end value was the average of the values at Weeks 22 and 24 after the start of double-blind treatment. Participants who had at least 70% reduction in Fasting s-BA from baseline to the end of treatment or reached \<=70 μmol/L after 24 weeks of treatment were considered as responder. Participants with missing average at the end of treatment were classified as non-responder. Full analysis set was used for the analysis.

Proportion of Positive Pruritus Assessments at the Participant Level Over the 24-week Treatment Period Based on the Albireo Observer-reported Outcome (ObsRO) Instrument (United States Primary Endpoint)Over 24 weeks of treatment

ObsRO instrument was used to assess severity of observed scratching twice a day (AM and PM) with score from 0 to 4 where 0 is no scratching and 4 is worst possible scratching. A positive pruritus assessment was defined as a scratching score of \<= 1 or at least one point drop from baseline. At each post baseline assessment over the 24-week treatment period, the AM score was compared to the baseline AM average and the PM score was compared to the baseline PM average. Both AM and PM pruritus assessments were included in the analysis. Any intermittently missing assessment or missing planned assessment after premature treatment discontinuation, death, or initiation of rescue treatment was classified as negative assessment. Proportion of positive pruritus assessments at the participant level over the 24-week was then calculated. Full analysis set was used for the analysis.
