NCT ID NCT07525401

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

Summary

This study tests whether a medicine called ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) can help lower bilirubin levels in people with acute viral hepatitis (types A or E). Bilirubin is a waste product that builds up when the liver is inflamed, causing jaundice. The trial will compare 88 adults who get UDCA plus standard supportive care against those who get supportive care alone, measuring bilirubin changes after 7 days.
