NCT ID NCT07205874
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks for early signs of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) in adults who have certain antibodies (AMA) but normal liver enzyme levels (ALP). Researchers will perform liver biopsies and special blood tests on 80 participants to find clues that could lead to earlier diagnosis. The goal is to catch the disease sooner, when treatment might be more effective.
