E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Type of Patient and Disease Characteristics [1] Male or female patients who are at least 18 years of age. [2] Have a diagnosis of PBC (consistent with American Association for the Study of Liver Disease [AASLD] and European Association for Study of the Liver [EASL] Practice Guidelines; [Lindor 2009; EASL 2017]), as demonstrated by the presence of at least 2 of the following 3 diagnostic factors: ¿ History of elevated ALP levels for at least 6 months ¿ Positive antimitochondrial antibodies titer ¿ Liver biopsy consistent with PBC [3] Have ALP =1.67 x ULN but <6 x ULN [4] Taking UDCA for at least 52 weeks (stable dose for at least 12 weeks) prior to Visit 3 (Week 0), or have previously taken, but are intolerant (in the opinion of the investigator) to UDCA and have not received UDCA for at least 12 weeks prior to Visit 3 (Week 0). Patient Characteristics [5] Nonpregnant, nonbreastfeeding female patients of childbearing potential: a. Patients who are abstinent (if this is complete abstinence, as their preferred and usual lifestyle) or in a same-sex relationship (as part of their preferred and usual lifestyle) must agree to either remain abstinent or stay in a same-sex relationship without sexual relationships with the opposite sex during the entirety of the study and for at least 1 week following the last dose of investigational product. Total abstinence is defined as refraining from intercourse during the entirety of the study and for at least 1 week following the last dose of investigational product. Periodic abstinence such as calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, postovulation methods, and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception b. Otherwise, patients must agree to use for the entirety of the study and for at least 1 week following the last dose of investigational product, 2 effective methods of contraception, where at least 1 form is highly effective (such as combination oral contraceptives, implanted contraceptives or intrauterine devices). Effective contraception (such as male or female condoms with spermicide, diaphragms with spermicide or cervical sponges) may be used as the second therapy. Barrier protection methods without concomitant use of a spermicide are not a reliable or acceptable method. Female patients of nonchildbearing potential may participate without requirements for contraception. This includes female patients who are: a. Infertile due to surgical sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or tubal ligation), congenital anomaly such as mullerian agenesis; or b. Postmenopausal – defined as either i. A woman at least 50 years of age with an intact uterus, not on hormone therapy, who has had either 1. Cessation of menses for at least 1 year, or 2. At least 6 months of spontaneous amenorrhea with a follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) >40 mIU/mL; or ii. A woman 55 years of age or older not on hormone therapy, who has had at least 6 months of spontaneous amenorrhea; or iii. A woman at least 55 years of age with a diagnosis of menopause prior to starting hormone replacement therapy. |
