• 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

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:
•If female: pregnant, lactating, or positive serum or urine pregnancy test.
•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 umol/L (>1.5 mg/dL)
•History or presence of hepatic decompensation (e.g., variceal bleeds, encephalopathy, or poorly controlled ascites)
