This study tests a drug called elafibranor in 68 adults with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), a rare liver disease that damages bile ducts. The main goal is to check the drug's safety and side effects compared to a placebo. Researchers will also look at blood tests to see if…

This Phase 2 trial tests an experimental drug called CS0159 in 50 people with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), a rare liver disease. The study has a 12-week placebo-controlled phase followed by a 40-week open-label period to check safety and how well the drug works. Research…

This study looks at whether a gluten-free diet can help people with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Researchers will track changes in symptoms, gut bacteria, and lab results in 60 adults over time. The goal is to see if avoiding gluten c…

This Phase 3 trial tests whether taking 40 mg of simvastatin daily for 5 years can improve outcomes for people with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), a rare liver disease. About 560 patients will receive either simvastatin or a placebo. Researchers will track survival, need f…

This study compares two endoscopic procedures—EUS-BD and ERCP-BD—for draining blocked bile ducts caused by cancers near the pancreas or bile duct. Forty adults with distal malignant bile duct obstruction will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures. The main goal is to …

This study looks at whether measuring certain substances in bile and blood can more accurately diagnose cancer in people with bile duct blockages. Researchers will compare these new tests with standard methods in 500 adults undergoing a procedure called ERCP. The goal is to find …

This Phase 3 trial tests whether maralixibat, an oral solution, can safely reduce severe itching (pruritus) in children and adults with rare cholestatic liver diseases. The study enrolls 90 participants aged 6 months and older who have not responded to other treatments. Over 20 w…

This study tests a medicine called volixibat to see if it can reduce severe itching in people with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), a rare liver disease. About 182 participants will receive either volixibat or a placebo, and researchers will track itch scores using a daily d…

This study is a registry that will review medical records of 1,000 patients treated for benign or malignant gastrointestinal diseases between 2005 and 2030. Researchers will look at survival, symptoms like heartburn and swallowing trouble, and quality of life. The goal is to lear…

This observational study follows 1,222 adults with liver cirrhosis to understand why some develop serious complications like fluid buildup or bleeding. Participants have check-ups every six months, including questionnaires, physical exams, and imaging. The goal is to build better…

This observational study plans to enroll 120,000 people with various chronic diseases like pancreatitis, diabetes, and arthritis. Researchers will collect blood samples and health data to study how genetics and lifestyle affect disease progression. The goal is to find common dise…

This study watches 200 people with lung, gut, or hormone diseases over time using special brain scans (PET). It aims to see how these diseases change brain activity and whether those changes can predict tumor return, spread, or survival. No new treatment is tested—just observatio…
