New study tests how liver problems affect PBC drug processing

NCT ID NCT04950764

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This completed Phase 1 study looked at how the drug seladelpar (Livdelzi) is processed in 24 people with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) who also have liver impairment. Researchers measured drug levels in the blood and urine to see how the liver condition affects the drug. The goal was to gather information for future dosing recommendations, not to treat the disease directly.

If successful, this study could help doctors determine the right dose of seladelpar for people with PBC who also have liver problems, making treatment safer and more effective.
