Drug Summary
Obeticholic acid (OCA) is a synthetic derivative of the endogenous primary bile acid, chenodeoxycholic acid. Obeticholic acid was developed primarily to treat liver and bile duct pathologies. It has established potency as an anti-cholestatic and antihepatotoxic agent. Currently, OCA has approval from the FDA to treat primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). The use of OCA for primary sclerosing cholangitis and NASH is still under development.
Mechanism of action
Obeticholic acid is a modified, synthetic bile acid that acts as a farnesoid X-activated receptor (FXR) agonist. Farnesoid X-activated receptors are primarily expressed in human enterocytes and hepatocytes, and naturally occurring bile acids are most often the ligands for FXRs. In the enterocytes, FXRs regulate the synthesis of bile acids and release fibroblast growth factor, specifically FGF-19, into the hepatic portal circulation.
In January 2023, the US FDA accepted the company’s NDA for OCA in pre-cirrhotic liver fibrosis due to NASH. FDA has assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of June 22, 2023, for the application. Intercept anticipates an advisory committee meeting as part of the FDA review process.
