Phase 4 Study of Obeticholic Acid Evaluating Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Primary
Biliary Cholangitis
Research Question:
Does the drug Obeticholic Acid help treat patients with primay biliary cholangitis?
Basic Study Information
Purpose:
Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) formerly known as primary biliary cirrhosis is a
serious, life-threatening, bile acid related liver disease of unknown cause. Without
treatment, it frequently progresses to liver fibrosis and eventual cirrhosis requiring

on clinical outcomes in PBC patients.
