-
Gender: Male or Female
-
Other Inclusion Criteria:
- Participants are older than 18 years of age

- Participants must provide written informed consent and agree to comply with the study protocol
You may not be eligible for this study if the following are true:
-
- Participants who have current or past history of hepatic decompensation such as clinically significant ascites (requiring medical intervention), variceal bleeding, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, hepatic encephalopathy (Grade I or greater based on West Haven classification), or hepatorenal/hepatopulmonary syndromes

- Participants whose MELD score >12
- Participants who were hospitalized within 1 year of Day 1 for complications of cirrhosis
- Participants who have documented presence of varices based on prior endoscopy performed within 6 months of Day 1
- Participants who have a AST =5× upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Participants who have a ALT =5× ULN
- Participants whose calculated creatinine clearance <60 mL/min using Cockcroft-Gault method at Screening
- Participants who have a Platelet count =100000100 000/mm3 at Screening
- Participants who have total bilirubin >2 mg/dL (subjects with an established diagnosis of Gilbert’s syndrome and a normal hemoglobin and reticulocyte count may be enrolled despite a total bilirubin level >2 mg/dL if their conjugated (direct) bilirubin is <2x ULN)
- Participants who have Conjugated bilirubin =1.5x ULN
- Participants who have Albumin <3.25 g/dL.
- Participants who have International normalized ratio (INR) =1.7 (subjects with a known inherited blood disorder and INR =1.7 may be enrolled, and subjects on anticoagulant/antiaggregantanti-aggregant treatment and INR =1.7 may be enrolled by approval of Medical Monitor)
- Participants who have current or history of significant alcohol consumption for a period of more than 3 consecutive months within 1 year before Day 1 (significant alcohol consumption is defined as more than 2 units/day for females and more than 4 units/day for males, on average)
- Participants who have prior (at any point) or planned (during the study period) ileal resection, or prior (within 5 years before Screening) or planned (during the study period) bariatric surgery (eg, gastric bands, gastroplasty, roux-en-Y gastric bypass)
- Participants who have the inability to safely undergo a liver biopsy
- Participants who have a history of biliary diversion
- Participants who have evidence of other known forms of chronic liver disease.
- Participants who have history of liver transplant, current placement on a liver transplant list
- Participants who have hemoglobin A1c =9.5% within 60 days before Day 1.
- Participants who have low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol =190 mg/dL and already on a stable dose of statin and/or proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitor for =30days at Screening.
- Participants who have LDL cholesterol <50 mg/dL
- Participants who have known positivity for human immunodeficiency virus infection
- Participants with recent history (within 1 year of Day 1) of significant atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (myocardial infarction, unstable angina, acute coronary syndrome, cerebrovascular accident [stroke], cerebrovascular ischemia, transient ischemic attack, or peripheral vascular disease requiring intervention).
- Participants with current acute cholecystitis or acute biliary obstruction
- Participants with other medical conditions that may diminish life expectancy to <2years, including known cancers
- Participants with known substance abuse in the year before Screening
- Participants who have chronic use (=12 months) of drugs historically associated with drug-induced NAFLD within the 5 years before Day 1 (eg, amiodarone, methotrexate, systemic glucocorticoids, tetracyclines, tamoxifen, estrogens at doses greater than those used for hormone replacement, anabolic steroids, valproic acid, and other known hepatotoxins).
- Participants with pregnancy, planned pregnancy, potential for pregnancy (ie, unwillingness to use effective birth control during the study), or current or planned breast feeding
- Participants who have participated in a clinical research study and received any active investigational product being evaluated for the treatment of diabetes, weight loss, or NASH in the 6 months before Day 1
- Participants who have concurrent participation in any other interventional or noninterventional clinical trial.
- Participants who have received any investigational product from Screening to Day 1, within 30 days before Day 1, or within 5 half-lives of the compound (whichever was longer) before Day 1
- Participants who with previous exposure to OCA within 12 months of Day 1 Participants who have mental instability or incompetence, such that the validity of informed consent or ability to be compliant with the study, is uncertain
- Participants who have history of known or suspected clinically significant hypersensitivity to OCA or any of its components
- Participants who have any other condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might confound the results, or would impede compliance or hinder completion of the study
