  • 1.1.AMA or PBC-specific ANA at a clinically diagnostic level
  • 1.2.Elevated alkaline phosphatase (above the upper limit of normal (ULN) for the relevant laboratory)
  • 1.3.Compatible or diagnostic liver biopsy
  • 2. Ongoing elevation of alkaline phosphatase (=15% above ULN) at screening
  • 3. Disease duration of <6 months from date of diagnosis at the time of consent
  • 4. Use of UDCA for <3 months at the time of consent
  • 5. Pre-treatment Ursodeoxycholic Acid Response Score with a predicted risk of future non-remission of liver biochemistry (ie ALP>ULN) with UDCA alone of >20%
  • 6. For people of childbearing potential: an agreement to use at least an acceptable effective method contraception or to practise sexual abstinence to avoid pregnancy for entire duration of the study period.
  • 7. Willing to complete the study assessment protocols
  • 8. Ability to consent, able to comply with study protocol and attend clinic visits

  • 1. Clinical contraindication to obeticholic acid use
  • 2. Untreated, clinically significant pruritus (patients with effectively treated pruritus are eligible for inclusion)

  • 4. Clinical suspicion of cirrhosis evidenced by a history of one or more of the following:
  • 4.1. ascites requiring diuretic therapy or percutaneous drainage
  • 4.2. endoscopically-confirmed varices
  • 4.3. liver biopsy suggesting cirrhosis
  • 4.4. platelet count <150 x109/L
  • 4.5. transient elastography score >16.9 kPa within 3 months prior to or at screening
  • 4.6. hepatocellular carcinoma confirmed by biopsy or 2 imaging modalities
  • 4.7. hepatic encephalopathy
  • 5. Bilirubin >twice the upper limit of normal
  • 6. Evidence of complete biliary obstruction
  • 7. Previous exposure to obeticholic acid (either in clinical trials or in clinical practice) or other potential PBC-modifying therapy
  • 8. Regular (more than one week per month) alcohol consumption in excess of recommended safe limits (14 units per week)
  • 9. Active participation in another interventional trial or exposure to another experimental drug within 5 half-lives
  • 10. Pregnancy or planning to get pregnant within duration of participation in the trial
  • 11. Currently breastfeeding
  • 12. Overlapping features of an additional liver disease, including autoimmune hepatitis (using the Paris criteria for autoimmune hepatitis overlap)
  • 13. Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients
  • 14. If the participant’s treating clinician deems the patient is not suitable to participate in the trial based on other criteria apparent during screening or from medical history
