Higher doses of liver drug tested for hepatitis c patients
NCT ID NCT00200343
Summary
This study tested whether higher daily doses of the medication ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) were better than a low dose at reducing liver inflammation in people with chronic hepatitis C. Nearly 600 participants in Japan took different doses of the drug for 24 weeks. The main goal was to see which dose most improved key markers of liver health found in blood tests.
