Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Obeticholic Acid in Subjects With Compensated Cirrhosis Due to Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate whether obeticholic acid (OCA; INT-747) can lead to histological improvement in fibrosis with no worsening of NASH in adults with compensated cirrhosis due to NASH.

Stanford is currently accepting patients for this trial.

Stanford Investigator(s):

Intervention(s):

  • drug: Obeticholic acid (10 mg)
  • drug: Obeticholic acid (10 mg to 25 mg)
  • drug: Placebo

   ascites, hepatic encephalopathy (HE), or variceal bleeding

   2. Current or past history of CP score ≥7 points

   3. Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) score > 12

   4. ALT ≥ 5 X ULN
