To evaluate the safety and efficacy of MBX-8025 2 mg, 5 mg, and 10 mg over 52 weeks of treatment

To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of MBX-8025

Exploratory:

To evaluate the effect of MBX-8025 on bile acids, additional markers of inflammation and renal function

MBX-8025 doses of 1 mg and 15 mg may be evaluated if dose adjustment occurs

Enrollment: 119 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 75 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

6. Females of reproductive potential must use at least one barrier contraceptive and a second effective birth control method during the study and for at least 90 days after the last dose. Male subjects who are sexually active with female partners of reproductive potential must use barrier contraception and their female partners must use a second effective birth control method during the study and for at least 90 days after the last dose

Exclusion criteria

2. AST or ALT > 3 × ULN
3. Total bilirubin > 2.0 mg/dL
4. Total bilirubin > ULN AND albumin < LLN with the exception to subjects with Gilbert's Syndrome. Subjects with Gilbert's syndrome are excluded if Direct Bilirubin > ULN.
5. Auto-immune hepatitis
6. Primary sclerosing cholangitis
7. Known history of alpha-1-Antitrypsin deficiency
8. Known history of chronic viral hepatitis
9. Creatine kinase above ULN
10. Serum creatinine above ULN
11. For females, pregnancy or breast-feeding
12. Use of colchicine, methotrexate, azathioprine, or systemic steroids in the two months preceding screening
13. Current use of fibrates or simvastatin
14. Current use of obeticholic acid
15. Use of an experimental or unapproved treatment for PBC
16. Use of experimental or unapproved immunosuppressant
17. Adverse event leading to MBX-8025 discontinuation from CymaBay's phase 2 PBC study (CB8025-21528)
18. Any other condition(s) that would compromise the safety of the subject or compromise the quality of the clinical study, as judged by the Investigator
