sexual partners during the study unless they have had a prior vasectomy.
• Proven or likely PBC, as demonstrated by the patient presenting with at least 2 of
the following 3 diagnostic factors:
o History of increased AP levels for at least 6 months prior to Day 0
o Positive AMA titer (>1:40 titer on immunofluorescence or M2 positive by
ELISA) or PBC-specific antinuclear antibodies (antinuclear dot and
nuclear rim positive)
o Liver biopsy consistent with PBC
• Screening AP level between 1.5 and 10 × ULN.
• Willing and able to give written informed consent
Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion Criteria

Patients with the following characteristics will be excluded from the study:
• Administration of the following drugs at any time during the 3 months prior to
screening for the study: ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA, Urso®), colchicine,
methotrexate, azathioprine, or systemic corticosteroids.
• Screening conjugated (direct) bilirubin >2 × ULN.
• Screening ALT or AST >5 × ULN.
• Screening serum creatinine >133 µmol/L (1.5 mg/dL).
• History or presence of hepatic decompensation (e.g., variceal bleeds,
encephalopathy, or poorly controlled ascites).
• History or presence of other concomitant liver diseases including hepatitis due to
hepatitis B or C virus (HCV, HBV) infection, primary sclerosing cholangitis

metabolism in the large intestine (e.g., inflammatory bowel disease).
• Other clinically significant medical conditions, including renal insufficiency.
• Other medical conditions that are not well controlled or for which medication
needs are anticipated to change during the study. Concomitant medications must be stable for 14 days prior to the first dose of study medication, and should be
expected to remain stable during the course of the study.

per week; or the equivalent of 14 4-ounce glasses of wine, or 14 12-ounce
cans/bottles of beer or wine coolers) or other substance abuse within the prior
1 year.
• Participation in another investigational drug, biologic, or medical device study
within 30 days prior to Day 0.
• History of noncompliance with medical regimens, or patients who are considered
to be potentially unreliable.
• Blood or plasma donation within 30 days prior to dosing.
• Mental instability or incompetence, such that the validity of informed consent or
compliance with the study is uncertain.
