Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are individuals who have previously participated in a PBC study involving Fenofibrate and meet the inclusion criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with other liver diseases or those who have experienced adverse events leading to discontinuation of Fenofibrate will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of Fenofibrate in patients diagnosed with Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC). It is an open-label, long-term interventional study that includes participants who have previously taken part in another PBC study involving Fenofibrate. The study aims to gather data on how well Fenofibrate works in managing this liver condition over an extended period.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could improve liver function and quality of life for patients with Primary Biliary Cholangitis.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using Fenofibrate for liver conditions, suggesting potential for success in this approach.

Inclusion Criteria: * Must have given written informed consent (signed and dated) * Participated in the PBC study with fenofibrate (NCT02823353) * Females of reproductive potential must use at least one barrier contraceptive and a second effective birth control method during the study and for at least 90 days after the last dose. Male subjects who are sexually active with female partners of reproductive potential must use barrier contraception and their female partners must use a second effective birth control method during the study and for at least 90 days after the last dose Exclusion Criteria: * Treatment-related adverse event (AE) leading to fenofibrate discontinuation * A medical condition, other than PBC, that in the investigator's opinion would preclude full participation in the study or confound its results (e.g., cancer) * Known history of other liver diseases * For females, pregnancy or breast-feeding * Long-term use of immunosuppressive agents * Any other condition(s) that would compromise the safety of the subject or compromise the quality of the clinical study, as judged by the Investigator
