Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Change in ALP at Week 24 Compared to Baseline | Baseline (Day 1) and Week 24 | Change in ALP at Week 24 Compared to Baseline, ratio of week 24 value to baseline value. |
| Secondary | Change in Fatigue at Week 24 Compared to Baseline, as Assessed by the PROMIS Short Form-Fatigue 7b Daily | Baseline (Day 1) and Week 24 | The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Fatigue Short Form 7b measures the severity of fatigue since waking. There are 7 questions, each scored between 1 and 5, with a total score between 7 to 35. A higher score indicates worse fatigue. This raw score is converted to a T score (a standardized score with a mean of 50 and a SD of 10). |
| Secondary | Change in Fatigue at Week 24 Compared to Baseline, as Assessed by the Patient's Global Impression of Severity (PGIS) Fatigue | Baseline (Day 1) and Week 24 | The Patient's Global Impression of Severity (PGIS)-Fatigue is a global index where subjects are asked to rate the severity of fatigue on a 5-point scale within the past 7 days, with choices of 1=None, 2=Mild, 3=Moderate, 4=Severe and 5=Very Severe. Higher scores indicate a worse assessment for fatigue. |
| Secondary | Change in Fatigue at Week 24 Compared to Baseline, as Assessed by the Patient's Global Impression of Change (PGIC) Fatigue | Week 24 | The Patient's Global Impression of Change (PGIC)-Fatigue is a 7-point scale reflecting a subject's rating of overall improvement where subjects are asked to rate their overall improvement with fatigue with 1=Very much improved, 2=Much improved, 3=Minimally improved, 4=No change, 5=Worse, 6=Much worse, 7=Very much worse. Higher scores indicate a worse outcome for change in fatigue. |
| Secondary | Change in Fatigue at Week 24 Compared to Baseline, as Assessed by the PBC-40 Questionnaire (PBC 40) Fatigue Domain | Baseline (Day 1) and Week 24 | PBC-40 fatigue domain includes 11 item questions, items scores range from 1 to 5. The individual item scores are summed to obtain a total domain score (Range for fatigue domain: 11 to 55), high scores represent high impact and low scores indicate low impact of PBC on the quality of life. |
| Secondary | Change in Liver Stiffness at Week 24 Compared to Screening | Screening (Day -28) and Week 24 | Change in liver stiffness at Week 24 compared to Screening, as assessed by transient elastography (FibroScan®) |
| Secondary | Change in Pruritus at Week 24 Compared to Baseline, as Assessed by the Worst Itch Numerical Rating Scale (WI-NRS) | Baseline (Day 1) and Week 24 | WI-NRS is a daily patient-reported measure of itch intensity using an 11-point scale where 0=no itch and 10=worst itching imaginable. The WI-NRS score is calculated by averaging the daily WI-NRS scores before the visit date (inclusive). Higher scores indicate worse functioning for pruritus on the WI-NRS. |
| Secondary | Change in Pruritus at Week 24 Compared to Baseline, as Assessed by the PBC-40 Itch Domain | Baseline (Day 1) and Week 24 | Pruritus was assessed by answering 3 questions on the PBC-40 Itch domain from 1 to 5, which was also summed to obtain a total domain score (range 3 to 15). A high score represents a high impact, and a low score indicates low impact of pruritus on the quality of life. |
| Secondary | Change in Pruritus at Week 24 Compared to Baseline, as Assessed by the PGIS Pruritus | Baseline (Day 1) and Week 24 | PGIS-Pruritus is a global index where subjects are asked to rate the severity of pruritus on a 5-point scale within the past 7 days, with choices of 1=None, 2=Mild, 3=Moderate, 4=Severe and 5=Very Severe. Higher scores indicate a worse assessment for pruritus. |
| Secondary | Change in Pruritus at Week 24 Compared to Baseline, as Assessed by the PGIC Pruritus | Week 24 | The PGIC-Pruritus is a 7-point scale reflecting a subject's rating of overall improvement where subjects are asked to rate their overall improvement with fatigue with 1=Very much improved, 2=Much improved, 3=Minimally improved, 4=No change, 5=Worse, 6=Much worse, 7=Very much worse. Higher scores indicate a worse outcome for change in pruritus. |
