IDEAL Trial Summary

This trial will study if a new drug, Seladelpar, can help treat PBC, a liver disease, in people who have not fully responded to other treatments.

Participants must have certain levels of alkaline phosphatase, use dual contraception methods if they're of reproductive potential, and not have a history of drug abuse or recent treatments that could interfere with the study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The IDEAL trial is testing whether Seladelpar can normalize alkaline phosphatase levels in PBC patients compared to a placebo. It's designed for those who don’t respond well to standard treatment. The participants will be randomly assigned either Seladelpar 10 mg or a placebo.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from Seladelpar may include digestive issues, liver enzyme changes, fatigue, itching (pruritus), abdominal pain, and rash. As it targets liver function specifically, monitoring for any liver-related symptoms would be particularly important.
