NCT03301506
An Open Label Long-Term Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Seladelpar in Subjects with Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC)
NCT02846896
PBC is a rare, autoimmune, cholestatic liver disease with genetic and environmental pathogenetic factors. Data about epidemiology of PBC in Switzerland are completely lacking. Epidemiology can be a powerful tool in yielding important clues as to burden and etiology of diseases. In addition, the investigators study will be the first one carried out in the country on PBC, and therefore will raise disease awareness and create a network.
NCT03112681
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 (PBC). 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.
NCT02963077
The primary objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of A4250 after single or multiple oral doses in healthy subjects. In addition, will evaluate A4250 in combination with cholestyramine.
NCT02321306
Open-label, multicenter study in adults with Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC) designed to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of daily dosing with LUM001.
NCT03489889
A manipulation and an integral part of the pharmaceutical practice, where, in addition to the supply of medicines and personalized products, they represent an alternative to the therapeutic schemes, manipulating drugs of almost all of them as therapeutic categories. One of the products and ursodeoxycholic acid, commercially known as Ursacol, a bile acid physiologically present in human bile, approved by Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (ANVISA), among several indications, for the treatment of the symptomatic form of primary biliary cholangitis, autoimmune etiology and predominant incidence in female. This is a prospective, cross-over, interventional and open-label study, where patients attending the inclusion and exclusion criteria are attended by the Instituto Central do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo (ICHC-FMUSP) Pharmacy Division in the Pharmaceutical Care sector. As patient information as well as the prescribed drugs, compiled by a data collection instrument from the ICHC-FMUSP Pharmacy Division and a semi-structured questionnaire.
NCT00364819
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of the anti-CD20 antibody rituximab in treating patients with Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC). Rituximab is a laboratory-made antibody currently used to treat some kinds of lymphoma. Rituximab may also help people with PBC, a disease of the immune system. However, the safety of rituximab in PBC patients must first be established.
NCT00805805
The University of Michigan is conducting a study investigating a potential new treatment aimed at slowing/halting progression of primary biliary cirrhosis. This will be a 2 arm double blind study in which half of the patients will be randomly selected to receive a placebo (capsule with no active ingredient) and half will receive the new treatment drug, tetrathiomolybdate. Neither the patient nor the treating physician will know which arm the patient is in. The length of the study for each patient is 24 months of drug therapy. Lab draws will be necessary weekly for the first 6 weeks of the study, followed by every other week for 3 weeks, and then monthly for the remainder of the 2 year period. In addition, intermittent history and physicals and urine samples will also be necessary. There is no cost to you for any experimental treatment. All patients in both arms will continue on ursodiol and receive standard of care treatment
NCT01249092
Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is cholestatic liver disease characterized by progressive destruction of small bile ducts within the liver that can lead to end stage liver disease and all its complications. Although ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is associated with increased survival in many patients with PBC, there is absence of an adequate response to UDCA in a significant proportion of PBC patients. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is a cytokine that plays an important role in the pathogenesis of PBC. Other fibrosis biomarkers such as tissue metallo proteinase 1 (TIMP-1) are associated with progression of liver fibrosis in PBC. Pentoxifylline (PTX) is a methylxanthine derivative that inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines and also has shown anti-fibrotic effects in serum of patients with PBC. Furthermore, PTX has well known clinical and safety profiles. The main hypothesis of this study is that therapy with pentoxifylline (PTX) will result in improvement of liver disease in PBC patients who are incomplete responders to UDCA. The focus of this proposal is on the effectiveness of PTX in improving laboratory parameters of liver disease and levels of cytokines involved in the pathogenesis of the disease in patients with PBC.
NCT01857284
Though ursodeoxycholate acid (UDCA) is the wellknown effective therapy for PBC, clinical effectiveness of UDCA may be limited by its poor absorption and extensive biotransformation. The more hydrophilic bile acid tauroursodeoxycholate (TUDCA) is the active ingredients of UDCA, and has been approved by state food and drug administration in China for treatment of cholesterol stones. So it is necessary to verify the efficacy and safety of TUDCA in the treatment of adult primary biliary cirrhosis. In this randomized, double-blinded, double-dummy, parallel-controlled and multicenter clinical trial, we detect the proportion of patients who had AKP decline more than 25% as the primary outcome; decline of AKP, total bilirubin, GGT, ALT and AST as secondary outcomes after patients were treated with TUDCA or UDCA for 24 weeks.
