Clinical Trial Summary

The study is a multicenter randomized double blind placebo controlled trial. The study will be conducted on pregnant women with a diagnosis of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) in third level hospitals (that are also Academic Hospitals).

Pregnant women at the time of ICP diagnosis will be randomized in two groups:

Group 1 - will receive placebo and obstetrical monitoring until delivery Group 2 - will receive UDCA at the dose of 20 mg/Kg/day and obstetrical monitoring until delivery.

The hypotheses are that UDCA treatment will be superior to placebo and effective in:

reducing the rate of prematurity; improving maternal biochemical parameters and symptoms.
