Urso 250

Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic liver disease that can cause fatigue, itching, brain fog, and emotional distress, all of which can lower quality of life. While the standard treatment, ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), helps slow the disease, it does not relieve these symptoms. Research shows that mind-body practices-such as breathing exercises, meditation, and gentle movement-can help improve mental and physical well-being in people with chronic conditions, but their benefits for PBC are not yet well understood. This study will test a 10-week online wellness program designed for women with PBC. The program will include guided breathing, meditation, and movement exercises, plus optional weekly group sessions and educational videos. Some participants will also receive nutrition guidance on the Mediterranean diet to see if it adds extra benefits. The study will evaluate feasibility via recruitment, adherence, and retention. To assess acceptability, participants will provide feedback through surveys and interviews. The study will also explore early signs of effectiveness by measuring changes in symptoms like anxiety, depression, fatigue, and stress, as well as biological markers, brain activity, physical function, and data from wearable devices. The results will help determine whether an online mind-body program, with or without nutrition support, could be a simple and effective way to help people with PBC manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.

Open-Label Extension Study of Saroglitazar Magnesium in Participants With Primary Biliary Cholangitis

The participants in this study will have confirmed PBC with inadequate response or intolerance to Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), which is a medication used in the management and treatment of cholestatic liver disease. Primary biliary cholangitis is a slowly progressive disease characterised by damage of 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 scarring (cirrhosis). PBC may also be associated with multiple symptoms. Many patients with PBC may require a 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 dummy treatment). The main aim of this study is to determine if elafibranor is better than placebo in reducing ALP levels to a normal value. High ALP levels in the blood can indicate liver disease. There will be three periods in this study: A screening period (up to 8 weeks) to assess whether the participant can take part; a treatment period (up to 52 weeks) where eligible participants will be grouped as per their blood ALP levels and randomly assigned to either receive elafibranor or placebo, and a follow-up period (4 weeks) where participants' health will be monitored. Participants will be twice as likely to receive elafibranor than placebo (2:1 ratio). Participants will undergo blood sampling, urine collections, physical examinations, clinical evaluations, electrocardiograms (ECG: recording of the electrical activity of heart), ultrasound examinations (a noninvasive test that passes a probe over skin to look at the bladder, urinary tract, and liver), and Fibroscan® examinations (a noninvasive test that passes a probe on skin to measure stiffness of the liver). They will also be asked to fill in questionnaires. Each participant will be in this study for up to 64 weeks (15 months).

Study to investigate the efficacy and safety of two doses of K-808 (pemafribate) in subjects with PBC.

This trial is testing Seladelpar, a medication that may help people with a specific liver disease called Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) and early-stage cirrhosis. The drug aims to reduce liver inflammation and damage, potentially improving liver health. Seladelpar has shown promising results in previous studies for PBC, despite initial safety concerns.

This trial is testing elafibranor, a medication for people with Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) who do not respond to or cannot take the usual treatment. PBC is a liver disease that can lead to severe damage if untreated. Elafibranor aims to reduce harmful substances in the liver to prevent further damage. The study will also check if the medication is safe and helps with symptoms like itching and tiredness. Elafibranor is being tested as a new treatment option for PBC patients who do not respond to or cannot tolerate the standard treatments.

This trial is testing a medicine called volixibat that may help reduce itching in people with a liver disease that often causes severe itching. Volixibat works by blocking certain chemicals in the body that cause itching. The study also aims to see if the medicine can slow down the progression of the liver disease.

This trial is testing a drug called elafibranor on patients with Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) who haven't responded to standard treatment. The goal is to see if elafibranor can lower a specific liver enzyme and improve symptoms. Initially, participants will receive different treatments, and later, all will receive elafibranor for an extended period. Elafibranor has shown promise in improving symptoms in previous trials.
