This is a Phase 2, multicenter, open-label, single dose and multi-dose, dose-finding study with an optional open-label extension (OLE) to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of obeticholic acid (OCA) in pediatric subjects with biliary atresia with successful hepatoportoenterostomy (HPE, also known as a Kasai portoenterosomy). The OLE will continue to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of OCA. In addition, a change in vitamin A and D levels, and where possible the degree of change in liver stiffness, will be assessed during the OLE.

Safety and tolerability as assessed by the incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) including serious adverse events (SAEs)
Time frame: Day 1, 21, and 56.
The plasma concentration of OCA and its conjugates (glyco-OCA and tauro-OCA)
Change in plasma concentrations of unconjugated OCA and its conjugates (glyco-OCA and tauro-OCA) will be quantitated, and total OCA concentration will be calculated in the SD and MD Phase.
Time frame: Day 1, 21, and 56.
Biomarkers of FXR-activation: change from baseline of the plasma value of Fibroblast Growth Factor-19 (FGF-19)
Time frame: Day 1, 21, and 56
Biomarkers of FXR-activation: change from baseline of the plasma value of 7-hydroxyl-4-cholesten-3-one (C4)
