Active clinical trials for "Liver Cirrhosis, Biliary"

Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) has been the only treatment for primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) approved by US and European drug administrations. Long-term use of UDCA(13-15 mg/kg/day) in patients with PBC improves serum liver biochemistries and survival free of liver transplantation However, about 40% of patients do not respond to UDCA optimally as assessed by known criteria for biochemical response. Those patients represent the group in need for additional therapies, having increased risk of disease progression and decreased survival free of liver transplantation. Both lab research and some clinical studies suggest that fenofibrate could improve cholestasis in multiple ways including reduce of bile acid synthesis, increase of biliary secretion and anti-inflammation effect. Here we start a random, open and parallel clinical research to explore the effect of fenofibrate in the PBC treatment.

To evaluate the treatment effect of seladelpar on composite biochemical improvement in cholestasis markers based on ALP and total bilirubin and to evaluate the safety of seladelpar over 12 months of treatment compared to placebo

To evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of OP-724 and to determine the recommended dose of OP-724 against Primary Biliary Cholangitis patients.

The main objectives of the study were to assess the effects of Obeticholic Acid (OCA) on serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and total bilirubin, together as a composite endpoint and on safety in participants with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC).

The purpose of this open-label study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of HDT1801 (BUDCA) over 12 weeks in adult subjects with PBC who have an inadequate response to standard therapy. Inadequate response is defined as persistently elevated serum alkaline phosphatase at greater than or equal to1.5 times the upper limits of normal for the testing lab in spite of having been on adequate doses of standard therapy with UDCA (ursodeoxycholic acid) at 13-15 mg/kg for at least 6 months.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of GKT13783 in patients with Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) who are taking a stable dose of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) treatment, and have persistently high levels of a liver enzyme called Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP).

This study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of GSK2330672 administration for the treatment of pruritus (itch) in participants with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). Participants will receive either placebo or one of the 4 dose regimens of GSK2330672 (20 milligram [mg], 90 mg or 180 mg taken once daily or 90 mg twice daily). Participants on GSK2330672 will also receive placebo tablets to maintain blinding. The study has a prospectively defined adaptive design that will utilize interim data to further inform and potentially optimize the doses under investigation. Hence, additional dose regimen may be added during study. The total duration of a participant in the study will be up to 45 days of screening and 24 weeks of study including follow-up.

prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate safety, tolerability and efficacy of saroglitazar magnesium 2 mg, 4 mg in Patients with Primary Biliary Cholangitis. A total 36 subjects will be enrolled in a ratio of 1:1:1 to receive either saroglitazar magnesium 2 mg or saroglitazar magnesium 4 mg or placebo.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Ursofalk 500 mg tablets versus Ursofalk 500 mg capsules in the treatment of Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC).

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and activity of extended treatment with NGM282 in patients with Primary Biliary Cirrhosis.
