Filter by:The participants in this study will have confirmed PBC with inadequate response or intolerance to Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), which is a medication used in the management and treatment of cholestatic liver disease. Primary biliary cholangitis is a slowly progressive disease characterised by damage of the bile ducts in the liver, leading to a build-up of bile acids which causes further damage. The liver damage in PBC may lead to scarring (cirrhosis). PBC may also be associated with multiple symptoms. Many patients with PBC may require a liver transplant or may die if the disease progresses and a liver transplant is not done. This study will compare a daily dose of elafibranor (the study drug) to a daily dose of placebo (a dummy treatment). The main aim of this study is to determine if elafibranor is better than placebo in reducing ALP levels to a normal value. High ALP levels in the blood can indicate liver disease. There will be three periods in this study: A screening period (up to 8 weeks) to assess whether the participant can take part; a treatment period (up to 52 weeks) where eligible participants will be grouped as per their blood ALP levels and randomly assigned to either receive elafibranor or placebo, and a follow-up period (4 weeks) where participants' health will be monitored. Participants will be twice as likely to receive elafibranor than placebo (2:1 ratio). Participants will undergo blood sampling, urine collections, physical examinations, clinical evaluations, electrocardiograms (ECG: recording of the electrical activity of heart), ultrasound examinations (a noninvasive test that passes a probe over skin to look at the bladder, urinary tract, and liver), and Fibroscan® examinations (a noninvasive test that passes a probe on skin to measure stiffness of the liver). They will also be asked to fill in questionnaires. Each participant will be in this study for up to 64 weeks (15 months).
1. Explore the effect of Babaodan Capsule on the serum total bilirubin level of primary biliary cholangitis patients with elevated total serum bilirubin; 2. To observe the positive intervention effect of Babaodan Capsule on the clinical symptoms of primary biliary cholangitis patients with elevated total bilirubin.
An Open Label Long-Term Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Fenofibrate in Subjects with Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC)
In this study, patients with active mild to moderate UC with or without PSC will be randomized to receive either bromlein or placebo along with low FODMAP diet for 8 weeks. IBDQ, SCCAIQ, CRP, TAC, TNF-a will be measured before and after the intervention.
This is a prospective study, including approximately 64 patients with acute cholangitis accompanied with choledocholithiasis at Beijing Friendship Hospital. All patients will be randomly allocate into single-session or two-session endoscopic stone extraction. The investigators assessed the outcomes of single-session and two-session endoscopic stone extraction.
This is a retrospective study, including approximately 600 patients with acute cholangitis accompanied with choledocholithiasis, who treated with single-session or two-session endoscopic stone extraction at Beijing friendship hospital. The investigators assessed the outcomes of single-stage and two-stage endoscopic stone extraction.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare in the effectiveness of combining ursodeoxycholic acid and vitamin D in treating patients with primary biliary cholangitis.
Develop an appropriate real-world data comparator cohort to support the design, execution, and serve as an external control for interventional clinical trials in PSC.
FARGO is a randomised, phase IIa, multi-centre, placebo-controlled trial to compare Faecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT) with placebo in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and concomitant inflammatory bowel disease.
This study aims to use positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to diagnose and quantify PSC-related biliary tract fibrosis and to improve upon the currently available non-invasive diagnostic capabilities by investigating the ability of combined PET/MRI to detect and quantify fibrosis using a novel collagen-binding radiotracer. Specifically, the investigators will be comparing [68Ga]CBP8- and [18F]-FAPI-74 PET/MRI to a liver transient elastography scan in the diagnosis of biliary tree fibrosis.
