Data from the Mayo Clinic trial in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) of
the liver conducted between 1974 and 1984. A total of 424 PBC
patients, referred to Mayo Clinic during that ten-year interval, met
eligibility criteria for the randomized placebo controlled trial of
the drug D-penicillamine. The first 312 cases in the data set
participated in the randomized trial and contain largely complete
data.
