A Post-Authorisation Non-Interventional Observational of Patients in France With Primary Biliary Cholangitis Treated With Obeticholic Acid in Real Life

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Post-authorisation non-interventional observational study of patients with Primary Biliary Cholangitis who started Ocaliva® treatment between October 1st, 2016 and December 31, 2017.

Detailed Description
-----------------
This is a non-interventional, multi-site, ambispective, national follow-up study of patients with Primary Biliary Cholangitis who started Ocaliva® treatment between October 1st, 2016 and December 31, 2017. This represents approximately 150 patients to date, who are therefore the first patients to have received treatment with Ocaliva® in France outside of pre-approval clinical trials. All patients who received treatment within the context of the ATU (conditional marketing authorization in France) or after EU marketing authorization approval for the product will be followed up for 18 months (this follow-up will be partly retrospective and partly prospective). The study therefore involves retrospective recruitment with retrospective and prospective data collection.
