Summary

This early-phase study tested whether adding fenofibrate to standard treatment (ursodeoxycholic acid) helps people newly diagnosed with primary biliary cholangitis, a chronic liver disease. Thirty adults participated to see if the combination could normalize liver enzyme levels and reduce symptoms like itching and fatigue. The goal is better disease control, not a cure.
