Inclusion Criteria

1. Must have given written informed consent (signed and dated) and any authorizations required by local law
2. 18 to 75 years old (inclusive)
3. Male or female with a diagnosis of PBC by at least two of the following criteria:
• History of AP above ULN for at least six months
• Positive AMA (Anti-Mitochondrial Antibodies) titers (>1/40 on immunofluorescence or M2 positive by ELISA) or positive PBC-specific antinuclear antibodies
