A 52-week, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomized, Phase 3 study Intended to Determine the Effects of seladelpar on normalization of Alkaline phosphatase Levels in Subjects with Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) and an Incomplete Response or Intolerance to Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA)
Recruiting
The purpose of this research study is to determine if seladelpar (study drug) is effective at normalizing the disease marker alkaline phosphatase in subjects with PBC who are currently on ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) treatment or intolerant to UDCA. This will be done by looking at changes in blood tests. This research study is also measuring whether seladelpar makes itching (pruritus) better. This will be done using information about itching that subjects enter on a device or app on their phone.
