New hope for PBC patients: Long-Term safety trial of seladelpar underway
NCT ID NCT03301506
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing the long-term safety of a drug called seladelpar in people with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), a chronic liver disease. About 340 adults who have taken seladelpar before will receive either 5 mg or 10 mg daily for several years. Researchers will monitor side effects, liver function, and overall health to see if the drug remains safe over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Seladelpar (also known as MBX-8025, Livdelzi®)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm seladelpar as a safe long-term treatment option for managing primary biliary cholangitis, potentially slowing disease progression.
- What could go wrong
- This is an open-label study without a placebo group, so results may be less definitive. Side effects are possible, and long-term benefits are not guaranteed.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Must have given written informed consent (signed and dated) 2. Participated in a PBC study with seladelpar 3. Females of reproductive potential must use at least one barrier contraceptive and a second effective birth control method during the study and for at least 90 days after the last dose. Male individuals who are sexually active with female partners of reproductive potential must use barrier contraception and their female partners must use a second effective birth control method during the study and for at least 90 days after the last dose Exclusion Criteria: Exclusion criteria are only applicable for individuals with a seladelpar interruption greater than 4 weeks prior to Day 1 of this study and for individuals who participated in CB8025-21838 irrespective of seladelpar interruption. 1. Treatment-related adverse event (AE) leading to study drug discontinuation in a previous PBC study with seladelpar 2. A medical condition, other than PBC, that in the Investigator's opinion would preclude full participation in the study or confound its results (eg, cancer, any active infection) 3. AST or ALT above 3 × the upper limit of normal (ULN) 4. Total bilirubin above 2 × ULN 5. MELD score ≥ 12. For individuals on anticoagulation medication, evaluation of the baseline INR, in concert with any current dose adjustments in anti-coagulant medications, will be taken into account when calculating this score. This will be done in consultation with the medical monitor. 6. Evidence of advanced PBC as defined by the Rotterdam criteria: albumin below 1× the lower limit of normal (LLN) AND total bilirubin above 1 × ULN) 7. eGFR ≤45 mL/min/1.73 m2 (calculated by MDRD formula) 8. Auto-immune hepatitis 9. Primary sclerosing cholangitis 10. Known history of alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency 11. Known history of chronic viral hepatitis 12. For females, pregnancy or breast-feeding 13. Use of colchicine, methotrexate, azathioprine, or long-term use of systemic steroids (eg prednisone, prednisolone, budesonide) (\>2 weeks) within 2 months prior to Screening 14. Current use of fibrates or use of fibrates within 3 months prior to Screening 15. Current use of obeticholic acid or use of obeticholic acid within 3 months prior to Screening 16. Use of an experimental or unapproved treatment for PBC within 3 months prior to Screening 17. History of malignancy diagnosed or treated, actively or within 2 years, or active evaluation for malignancy; localized treatment of squamous or non-invasive basal cell skin cancers and cervical carcinoma in-situ is allowed if appropriately treated prior to Screening 18. Treatment with any other investigational therapy or medical device within 30 days or within 5 half-lives, whatever is longer, prior to Screening 19. Any other condition(s) that would compromise the safety of the individual or compromise the quality of the clinical study, as judged by the Investigator 20. Immunosuppressant therapies (eg, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, anti-TNF or other immunosuppressive biologics) 21. Other medications that effect liver or GI functions such as absorption of medications or the roux-en-y gastric bypass procedure may be prohibited and should be discussed with the medical monitor on a case-by-case basis 22. Positive for: 1. Hepatitis B, defined as the presence of hepatitis B surface antigen 2. Hepatitis C, defined as the presence of hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (RNA) 3. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody 23. Active COVID-19 infection during screening Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
