Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This study is gathering health information from 2,000 adults with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) to build a real-world data comparator group. The goal is to help design and run future drug trials more efficiently by providing a control group from real patient experiences. Participants will share medical history, symptoms, and biomarkers over quarterly and annual visits.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adult patients between 18 and 75 years of age (inclusive) who can comprehend instructions, follow the study procedures and are willing to sign an Informed Consent Form (ICF). 2. Confirmed clinical diagnosis of large duct PSC. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Clinically significant acute or chronic liver disease of an etiology other than PSC (including but not limited to metabolic-dysfunction associated steatohepatitis (MASH), PBC, HCV, HBV, or alcoholic hepatitis, Wilson's disease, alpha-1 antitryp-sin deficiency, acute or chronic drug-induced liver injury) * Patients with PSC and elements of AIH overlap are allowed to enroll * Patients with metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) or benign steatosis are allowed to enroll 2. Small-Duct PSC. 3. Clinically diagnosed secondary or IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis. 4. Clinically diagnosed infections (including acute cholangitis) and receiving treatment within the past 7 days; patients on chronic suppressive antibiotics for acute cholangitis will be allowed to enroll 5. Hospitalization in the past 7 days 6. UDCA dose \>28 mg/kg 7. Evidence of current or historical decompensated cirrhosis based on the following clinical events: * Ascites \> Grade 2 and requiring treatment * Esophageal or gastric variceal bleeding requiring hospitalization * Hepatic encephalopathy (as defined by a West Haven score ≥ 2) * Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis defined as ascites absolute neutrophil count \>250/mm3 in the absence of an intra-abdominal source of infection * AKI-HRS according to AASLD Guidelines (Flamm 2021) * Portal hypertension based on a platelet count \< 150 × 109/L and LSM \> 15 kPa with clinical, laboratory, imaging and/or other relevant parameters 8. Prior liver transplantation 9. MELD 3.0 Score \>15. For subjects on anticoagulation medication, baseline INR determination for MELD score calculation should take this use into account. 10. History, evidence, or high suspicion of hepatobiliary malignancies or active colon cancer based on imaging, screening laboratory values, and/or clinical symptoms. Patients with a history of colon cancer who have undergone a colectomy and have no current evidence of colon cancer will be allowed to enroll in the study. 11. Participants with current clinical or laboratory evidence of any severe, progressive, or uncontrolled disease, related or unrelated to PSC and which, in the opinion of the investigator, has an expected survival of less than 52 weeks. 12. Participants who are impaired, incapacitated, or incapable of completing study-related assessments or giving informed consent. 13. Prisoners or participants who are involuntarily incarcerated. 14. Participants who are currently participating in an investigational PSC therapy clinical study or who have participated in such a study within the past 12 weeks 15. Absence of data in medical records to assess inclusion and exclusion criteria.
