Obeticholic Acid (OCA) 5 mg to 10 mg
Obeticholic Acid (OCA) 5 mg for a minimum 3 months and then titrating up to a maximum 10 mg for the remainder of the trial (based on tolerability and CP Score).
Obeticholic Acid (OCA)
Non-cirrhotic and classified as CP Class A: 5 mg tablet of OCA once daily titrating up to a maximum of 10 mg OCA once daily based on tolerability at 3 months for the duration of the study (majority of participants).
Cirrhotic and classified as CP Class B and C: 5 mg tablet of OCA once weekly for at least 3 months, subsequently titrating up to a maximum dose and frequency of 10 mg OCA twice weekly based on tolerability and biochemical response for the duration of the study.
Placebo
Placebo
One tablet daily (or a lower frequency depending on CP score) for the remainder of the study

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* History of elevated Alkaline phosphatase levels for at least 6 months
* Positive antimitochondrial antibody (AMA) titer or if AMA negative or in low titer (\<1:80) PBC-specific antibodies (anti-GP210 and/or anti-SP100 and/or antibodies against the major M2 components \[PDC-E2, 2-oxo-glutaric acid dehydrogenase complex\])
* Liver biopsy consistent with PBC
2. A mean total bilirubin \>ULN and ≤5x ULN and/or a mean ALP \>3x ULN
3. Either is not taking UDCA (no UDCA dose in the past 3 months) or has been taking UDCA for at least 12 months with a stable dose for ≥3 months prior to Day 0
Exclusion Criteria
* Hepatitis C virus infection
* Active Hepatitis B infection; however, subjects who have seroconverted (hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis B e antigen negative) may be included in this study after consultation with the medical monitor
* Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC)
* Alcoholic liver disease
* Definite autoimmune liver disease or overlap hepatitis
* Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)
* Gilbert's Syndrome
2. Presence of clinical complications of PBC or clinically significant hepatic decompensation, including:
* Cirrhosis with complications, including history (within the past 12 months) or presence of:
* Variceal bleed
* Uncontrolled ascites
* Encephalopathy
* Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis
* Known or suspected HCC
* Prior transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt procedure
* Hepatorenal syndrome (type I or II) or screening (Visit 1 or 2) serum creatinine \>2 mg/dL (178 μmol/L)
3. Mean total bilirubin \>5x ULN
4. Subjects who have undergone gastric bypass procedures (gastric lap band is acceptable) or ileal resection or plan to undergo either of these procedures
5. Other medical conditions that may diminish life expectancy, including known cancers (except carcinomas in situ or other stable, relatively benign conditions)
6. If female: plans to become pregnant, known pregnancy or a positive urine pregnancy test (confirmed by a positive serum pregnancy test), or lactating
7. Known history of human immunodeficiency virus infection
8. Medical conditions that may cause nonhepatic increases in ALP (eg, Paget's disease or fractures within 3 months)
9. Other clinically significant medical conditions that are not well controlled or for which medication needs are anticipated to change during the study
10. History of alcohol abuse or other substance abuse within 1 year prior to Day 0
11. Participation in another investigational product, biologic, or medical device study within 30 days prior to Screening. Participation in a previous study of OCA is allowed with 3 months washout prior to enrollment in this study
12. Mental instability or incompetence, such that the validity of informed consent or ability to be compliant with the study is uncertain
13. History of known or suspected clinically significant hypersensitivity to OCA or any of its components
