A43 LONG-TERM EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF OBETICHOCLIC ACID IN PRIMARY BILIARY CHOLANGITIS: RESPONDER ANALYSIS OF OVER 5 YEARS OF TREATMENT IN THE POISE TRIAL
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Background Obeticholic acid (OCA), a potent farnesoid X receptor agonist, is approved as second-line treatment for primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) in patients with an incomplete response or intolerance to ursodeoxycholic acid. Aims We evaluated the effect of OCA in PBC patients enrolled in the POISE trial, comparing those who did or did not achieve the POISE response criteria. Methods The phase 3, randomized, double-blind, 1-year POISE trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of OCA 5 and 10 mg vs placebo in patients with PBC; a 5-year open-label extension followed in which all patients received OCA. This analysis evaluated longer-term efficacy and safety in patients who achieved the POISE primary endpoint of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) <1.67 × upper limit of normal (ULN), total bilirubin 15% from baseline after 1 year of OCA and in patients who were incomplete responders. Results The analysis included 86 patients who achieved the POISE primary endpoint at year 1 of OCA treatment and 107 incomplete responders (mean baseline ALP, 268 vs 356 U/L, respectively; P<0.0001). Mean change from baseline in ALP at year 5 was –101 U/L for responders and –121 U/L for incomplete responders (P<0.0001; Figure). Median (Q1, Q3) baseline GLOBE 10-year risk of event scores were 16 (11, 23) for responders and 25 (15, 43) for incomplete responders. Change from baseline in median (Q1, Q3) GLOBE 10-year risk of event at year 1, which includes age and thus increases with time, was –2 (–4, 2) for responders and –2 (–6, 4) for incomplete responders; at year 5, these changes were 2 (–2, 7) and 4 (–4, 11), respectively. Median (Q1, Q3) baseline UK-PBC 10-year risk of event scores were 5 (3, 8) for responders and 8 (4, 16) for incomplete responders. Change from baseline in median (Q1, Q3) UK-PBC 10-year risk of event at year 1 was –1 (–3, 0.2) for responders and –1 (–3, 1) for incomplete responders; at year 5, these changes were –0.8 (–2, 0.2) and –0.05 (–2, 2), respectively. The most frequently reported AEs among responders and incomplete responders were pruritus (67%, 86%) and fatigue (35%, 31%). Conclusions OCA treatment improved key biochemical markers of PBC, regardless of achieving the POISE primary endpoint after 1 year of OCA treatment. Changes in biochemical parameters over time were often similar between groups. Funding Agencies Intercept Pharmaceuticals

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
