Clinical Trials

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).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of modafinil for the treatment of fatigue in patients who have Primary Biliary Cirrhosis.

Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC) is a serious, life--threatening, bile acid related liver disease of unknown cause. Without treatment, it frequently progresses to liver fibrosis and eventual cirrhosis requiring liver transplantation or resulting in death. The investigational drug, Obeticholic Acid (OCA) is a modified bile acid and FXR agonist that is derived from the primary human bile acid chenodeoxycholic acid. The key mechanisms of action of OCA, including its choleretic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fibrotic properties, underlie its hepatoprotective effects and result in attenuation of injury and improved liver function in a cholestatic liver disease such as PBC. The study will assess the ...

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

The primary objective of the study is to compare the effect of daily oral administration of elafibranor 80mg and 120 mg on change in serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) to that of placebo in patients with PBC and inadequate response to Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA).

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of LJN452 for the treatment of patients who have primary biliary cholangitis.

The participants of this study will have confirmed Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) and cirrhosis (scarring of the liver).

PBC is a slowly progressive disease, characterised by damage to the bile ducts in the liver, leading to a build-up of bile acids which causes further damage.

The liver damage in PBC may lead to cirrhosis. PBC may also be associated with multiple symptoms. Many patients with PBC may require liver transplant or may die if the disease progresses and a liver transplant is not done.

This study will compare a daily dose of elafibranor (the study drug) to a daily dose of placebo (a ...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of two doses of MBX-8025 in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis and an inadequate response to ursodeoxycholic acid

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of GS-9674 in adults with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC).

This is a 5-year, longitudinal, observational study of patients with PBC designed to specifically address important clinical questions that remain incompletely answered from registration trials. In addition to the study database, a bio specimen repository will also be included so that translational studies of genomics and biomarkers of response may be performed.

Primary biliary cirrhosis is a serious, life-threatening, bile acid related liver disease of unknown cause. Without treatment, it frequently progresses to liver fibrosis and eventual cirrhosis requiring liver transplantation or resulting in death. The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of obeticholic acid compared to a placebo, both combined with stable standard care, on the clinical outcomes of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis. 

The purpose of this study is investigating the safety and effectiveness of Volixibat in the treatment of cholestatic pruritis. 

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a new ultrasound technique for non-invasive evaluation of liver fibrosis.

The overall objective of this proposal is to conduct a systematic approach to dissect both genetic underpinnings and non-genetic factors in the development of adult autoimmune liver diseases including autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), overlap AIH with Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (AIH-PBC), overlap AIH with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (AIH-PSC), and drug-induced autoimmune-like hepatitis (DIAIH).

This study is a biobank of specimens and clinical data for use in current and future research to better understand the cholestatic liver diseases primary biliary cirrhosis/cholangitis (PBC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).

The purpose of this research study is to improve our understanding of normal liver and gallbladder function and liver and gallbladder diseases including PBC, PSC, ADPKD (Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease), and ARPKD (Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease) and gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis).

The purpose of this study is to establish the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD), assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of subcutaneous PHIN-214 in participants with compensated and decompensated cirrhosis. In addition, various exploratory markers of effectiveness will be analyzed. 

The purpose of this study is to facilitate discovery and development of novel biomarkers of risk and early detection, etiologic factors relating to liver disease, and novel targeted therapeutic and chemopreventive strategies for liver disease such as PSC, PBC, PLD, NAFLD, NASH, ASH, HCC, donors (non-diseased and diseased) for liver transplant or non-liver diseased subjects scheduled for surgery will serve as controls.

We purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnosis accuracy of the Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP) measured by FibroScan® (both with M and XL probes) in all patients who are undergoing liver biopsy for any liver disease.
