History of intracranial hemorrhage, arteriovenous malformation, bleeding disorder, coagulation disorders, or screening blood tests that, in the opinion of the Investigator, indicate altered coagulability (e.g., PT, INR, aPTT) at screening. 13. An uncontrolled thyroid disorder a. Uncontrolled hyperthyroidism: defined as any history of hyperthyroidism that has either not been treated with either radioactive iodine and/or surgery or that has been treated with radioactive iodine and/or surgery, but has required ongoing c

| Main Objective: To demonstrate superiority of Saroglitazar Magnesium Optimal Dose (1 or 2 mg) dosed once daily relative to Placebo with respect to biochemical response based on the composite endpoints of ALP and total bilirubin at Week 52 in subjects with PBC.;Secondary Objective: 1. To evaluate the effect of Saroglitazar Magnesium 1 mg/Optimal Dose (1 or 2 mg)and Saroglitazar Magnesium 2 mg/Optimal Dose (1 or 2 mg) relative to Placebo with respect to biochemical response based on the composite endpoints of ALP and total bilirubin at Weeks 4, 8, 16, and 24. 2. To evaluate the effect of Saroglitazar Magnesium Optimal Dose (1 or 2 mg) relative to Placebo with respect to change from baseline in ALP at Weeks 24 and 52. 3. To evaluate the effect of Saroglitazar Magnesium Optimal Dose (1 or 2 mg) relative to Placebo with respect to improvement in liver stiffness measurement (LSM) of at least 25% at Weeks 24 and 52 relative to baseline assessed by FibroScan®. 4. To evaluate the effect of Saroglitazar Magnesium 1 mg/Optimal Dose (1 or 2 mg) and Saroglitazar Magnesium 2 mg/Optimal Dose (1 or 2 mg) relative to Placebo at Weeks 16, 24, and 52. ...........;Primary end point(s): Proportion of subjects with biochemical response based on the composite endpoints of ALP and total bilirubin [ALP < 1.67 x ULN, = 15% decrease in ALP relative to baseline, and total bilirubin = ULN or direct bilirubin = ULN in patients with known Gilbert’s syndrome] at Week 52.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 52 | — |
