Summary

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.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-75 with Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) who haven't responded well to or can't tolerate Ursodeoxycholic Acid. They must have a certain level of ALP enzyme and be using effective contraception if applicable. Exclusions include HIV, pregnancy, alcohol abuse, previous Elafibranor use, certain liver conditions, high levels of liver enzymes or bilirubin, low albumin or abnormal blood clotting.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effects of daily oral Elafibranor (80mg) versus placebo on bile flow impairment in PBC patients intolerant or unresponsive to standard treatment. Participants are randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive either Elafibranor or placebo.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects for Elafibranor aren't listed here, common side effects for drugs treating PBC may include itching, fatigue, abdominal pain and discomfort; however individual experiences with medications can vary.
