PrimaryDB Phase: Composite Endpoint Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) And Total Bilirubin, 10 mg OCA Versus PlaceboDB Month 12Percentage of participants at Month 12 with ALP \< 1.67 x upper limit of normal (ULN) and total bilirubin ≤ ULN and ALP decrease of ≥ 15% from baseline.
PrimaryLTSE Phase: Composite Endpoint ALP And Total BilirubinBaseline (DB Month 12), LTSE Months 24, 36, 48, and 60Percentage of participants at Months 24, 36, 48, and 60 with ALP \< 1.67x ULN and total bilirubin ≤ ULN and ALP decrease of ≥ 15% from baseline. DB Month 12 is the baseline for the LTSE phase.

SecondaryDB Phase: Total Bilirubin Absolute Change From Baseline To Month 12Baseline, DB Month 12Blood samples were evaluated for bilirubin levels. Total bilirubin absolute change from baseline (total bilirubin at Month 12 - total bilirubin at Baseline) is presented.
SecondaryDB Phase: Direct Bilirubin Absolute Change From Baseline To Month 12Baseline, DB Month 12Blood samples were evaluated for bilirubin levels. Direct bilirubin absolute change from baseline (direct bilirubin at Month 12 - direct bilirubin at Baseline) is presented.
SecondaryDB Phase: Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) Absolute Change From Baseline To Month 12Baseline, DB Month 12Blood samples were evaluated for ALT levels. ALT absolute change from baseline (ALT at Month 12 - ALT at Baseline) is presented.
SecondaryDB Phase: Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) Absolute Change From Baseline To Month 12Baseline, DB Month 12Blood samples were evaluated for AST levels. AST absolute change from baseline (AST at Month 12 - AST at Baseline) is presented.
