Trial Outcomes & Findings for Real-World Data Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of OCA on Hepatic Outcomes in PBC Patients (NCT NCT05292872)

NCT ID: NCT05292872

Last Updated: 2025-01-24

Results Overview

The primary analysis outcome was assessed with hazard ratio (HR) comparing hazard of first event of the composite endpoint among OCA-treated participants and SMR-weighted non-OCA-treated PBC participants indexes. It included all-cause death, liver transplant, hospitalization for hepatic decompensation based on first occurrence of: variceal bleed, ascites (including hepatic hydrothorax and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis) and hepatic encephalopathy. OCA-treated indexes were censored 90 days after OCA discontinuation, or if fibrates were initiated. Control indexes were censored if a participant-initiated OCA therapy, initiated fibrate therapy, reinitiated UDCA for participants who had discontinued UDCA for \>6 months, or end of study period (31 Dec 2021), whichever came first. The 2.5th and 97.5th percentile of nonparametric bootstrap samples were used to estimate 95% CI for HR and to perform a test of hypothesis. Risk is presented using the number of composite event and components.

Participant Flow

This study was conducted in the United States (US) and data was analyzed from Komodo Health claims database between 01 Jun 2015 to 31 Dec 2021.

Participants were included if, between 01Jun2015 and 31Dec2021, they met criteria for PBC diagnosis: At least 1 inpatient claim with an associated PBC International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 code, or at least 2 outpatient claims separated by \>1 day with a PBC ICD-9 or ICD-10 code. Patient records (indexes) were selected from a healthcare database. The unit of analysis were indexes, not participants. Analysis was conducted using weighted index methods.

OCA-treated
PBC participants with a history of Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) failure (inadequate response, intolerance, or discontinuation) who initiated Obeticholic acid (OCA) in the study window were included.
Non-OCA Treated
PBC participants with a history of UDCA failure who were eligible but not treated with OCA for the study. This was a real-world study, and it was conducted in a population of participants selected from a database using weighted index methods.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 67 months

Population: Weighted index population. The unit of analysis is Indexes.

Timeframe: Up to 67 months

Population: Weighted index population. The unit of analysis is Indexes.

The primary source for death was the Social Security Death Index (SSDI) along with obituary search, which was compared to Komodo Health claims and LabCorp/Quest laboratory data. The secondary objectives were to estimate the effect of OCA treatment versus non-OCA treatment on each component of the composite endpoint, with the same censoring rule applied as in the primary composite endpoint. Risk is presented using the the number of all-cause death within the risk period (prior to censoring).
