New study tracks blood sugar in liver disease patients on common drug
NCT ID NCT07629128
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how a type of medication called PPAR agonists affects blood sugar levels in 30 adults with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), a chronic liver disease. Researchers will measure changes in blood sugar and other metabolic markers over three months. The goal is to better understand how to manage both liver and metabolic health in these patients.
