Recruiting PHASE3 Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

New treatment option for Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

Official title A Study to Assess How Well and Safely Elafibranor Works in Adult Participants With Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07387549

What this study is testing

What is Elafibranor?

Elafibranor is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for primary sclerosing cholangitis.

Also referred to as IPN60190.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The purpose of this study is to find out how well and safely elafibranor works compared to placebo in adult participants with Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). PSC is a rare disease that causes inflammation and scarring of the bile ducts in the liver.
  • Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance.
