logp1p=−3.8520+1.1941*Treatment(OCA=1, PBO=0) −1.8836* baseline NAS(1 when<=5; 0

P-value of the AUROC determined by a chi-square test.

For use of the clinical model, the selected parameters are input into the model and if the resultant probability is above 0.39 then the patient is predicted to achieve histologic response at Week 72.

AUROC: area under the receiver operator characteristic curve; PPV: positive predictive value; NPV: negative predictive value; AIC: Akaike information criterion; BIC: Bayesian information criterion; OCA: obeticholic acid; NAS: nonalcoholic fatty liver disease activity score; AST: aspartate aminotransferase; ALT: alanine aminotransferase; INR: international normalized ratio
