What this trial studies

This study evaluates the safety and tolerability of combining fenofibrate with ursodeoxycholic acid in patients with Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC). It is an open-label, long-term study designed for individuals who have previously participated in a related PBC study involving fenofibrate. Participants will be monitored for adverse effects and overall treatment response throughout the study duration.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include individuals with Primary Biliary Cholangitis who have previously participated in a fenofibrate study.

Not a fit: Patients with treatment-related adverse events from previous studies or other confounding medical conditions may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this combination therapy could improve treatment outcomes for patients with Primary Biliary Cholangitis.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is being evaluated in this specific context, similar studies have shown promise in exploring combination therapies for PBC.
