Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include individuals with Primary Biliary Cholangitis who have previously participated in a fenofibrate study.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with treatment-related adverse events from previous studies or other confounding medical conditions may not benefit from this study.

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.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this combination therapy could improve treatment outcomes for patients with Primary Biliary Cholangitis.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is being evaluated in this specific context, similar studies have shown promise in exploring combination therapies for PBC.
