Scientists probe common drug as clue to mysterious liver disease

NCT ID NCT05912387

Summary

This study aims to understand why patients develop a serious liver disease called Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC), which has no cure and often leads to cancer or transplant. Researchers will give 15 adult patients with PSC a common cholesterol-lowering drug (rosuvastatin) to see how it changes their gut bacteria and bile acids. The goal is to gather basic biological clues that could help guide future drug development, not to treat the disease directly.
