New hope for controlling rare liver disease in japanese patients

NCT ID NCT06730061

Summary

This study is testing whether a daily pill called elafibranor can help control primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), a rare liver disease that damages bile ducts. It will involve about 18 Japanese adults whose current treatment isn't working well enough. Researchers will check if the drug lowers key liver markers and improves symptoms like itching and fatigue over several years.
