Recruiting studies
- NCT06051617RecruitingPhase 3

This trial is testing a new way to see how well patients do after a liver transplant. It includes people with severe cirrhosis, other end-stage liver diseases, or liver cancer.
Ghent, BelgiumAges 18–70 - NCT06675604Recruiting
Liver transplant data collection study
This study collects data from adults listed for liver transplants due to severe liver disease or liver cancer. It aims to improve transplant care by learning from real-world patient information.
ViennaAges 18–70 - NCT07216235RecruitingPhase 3
Long-term study of saroglitazar for PBC with cirrhosis
This study tests a new drug called saroglitazar to see if it can improve long-term outcomes in people with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) who have cirrhosis. It may be an option if you are already on UDCA or cannot take it, and if your liver function tests meet certain levels.
Marietta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03445585Recruiting
Biobank study for primary sclerosing and primary biliary cholangitis
This study collects and stores samples from people with PSC (primary sclerosing cholangitis), PBC (primary biliary cholangitis), and some related liver conditions. Researchers use these samples to better understand these diseases and support future research.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–85 - NCT04514965Recruiting
Bezafibrate for primary biliary cholangitis patients
This trial studies whether bezafibrate, a medication, can help people with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). You may be considered if your care team is already considering bezafibrate and you meet safety requirements.
Aarhus N, Central JutlandAges 18–99 - NCT05151809Recruiting
Italy-wide database study for adults with primary biliary cholangitis
This study creates a national registry (database) of adults in Italy living with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). Being included can help doctors better understand the condition and improve future care.
AnconaAges 18 years+ - NCT05749822RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Fenofibrate for primary biliary cholangitis with stable cirrhosis
This trial studies whether fenofibrate (a cholesterol medicine) can improve outcomes in people with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) who already take ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) but still have abnormal liver blood tests. It specifically looks at people with “compensated” (stable) cirrhosis—meaning the liver disease is present but not causing severe complications right now.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05751967RecruitingPhase 3
Fenofibrate plus ursodeoxycholic acid for primary biliary cholangitis
This trial tests whether adding fenofibrate to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) can improve liver test results in people with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) who did not respond enough to UDCA alone. It aims to see if the combination works better and is safe for adults with persistent, abnormal liver markers.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 18–75 - NCT05919433Recruiting
Program to find people with primary biliary cholangitis
This trial is testing a “find patients who are missing from care” program for people with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). It may help connect you to follow-up sooner if you’ve been hard to reach through usual clinic records.
Terrassa, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06365424RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Fenofibrate for Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC)
This trial tests whether the drug fenofibrate can help people with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), a chronic liver disease. It is for patients who have already taken fenofibrate in a previous study and want to continue treatment.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT06755151RecruitingPhase 3
Fenofibrate for primary biliary cholangitis: a real-world study
This study tests fenofibrate, a medicine that may help lower liver enzymes in people with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). It looks at how well the drug works in everyday medical practice.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT06755541RecruitingPhase 3
Fenofibrate plus ursodeoxycholic acid for PBC: a real-world study
This trial is testing whether adding fenofibrate to the standard PBC medicine ursodeoxycholic acid helps people with primary biliary cholangitis. It's a real-world study, meaning it looks at how treatments work in everyday practice. You can join only if you have already completed an earlier fenofibrate study.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT06767605Recruiting
Spanish registry for autoimmune liver diseases
This study collects information from people with autoimmune or cholestatic liver diseases to better understand them and improve care. It does not test a new treatment, but your participation can help future research.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07161245Recruiting
Fatigue relief study for primary biliary cholangitis
This trial tests a program of exercise, nutrition, and education to help reduce fatigue in people with primary biliary cholangitis. It aims to see if this program can improve energy and quality of life.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18–80 - NCT07205874Recruiting
Finding PBC early in people with positive AMA
This study looks for early signs of Primary Biliary Cholangitis in people who have a positive AMA blood test but normal liver enzyme levels. It aims to find the disease before it causes symptoms.

Testing vancomycin for certain pediatric bile duct conditions
This early-phase study tests whether the antibiotic vancomycin can help children with primary sclerosing cholangitis or biliary atresia, and related gut/bile duct problems. It may work by changing gut bacteria, but you would need to avoid certain medicines beforehand.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 2 weeks–40 years - NCT07449793Recruiting
PBC treatment response and long-term health outcomes
This research study tracks how well Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) responds to standard medication (UDCA) and what happens to patients' health over time. It may help doctors understand which treatments work best for different people.

Digital Health Monitoring for Primary Biliary Cholangitis
This study uses a smartphone app or digital platform to track how you're feeling day-to-day if you have primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), a liver condition where your immune system damages bile ducts. Researchers want to see if this digital monitoring helps them better understand and manage PBC symptoms.

Prednisone Plus Ursodeoxycholic Acid for PBC Patients
This trial tests adding prednisone (a steroid) to ursodeoxycholic acid (a bile acid medicine) for people with primary biliary cholangitis who have a specific type of liver inflammation. The goal is to see if the combination works better at controlling the disease than standard care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for primary biliary cholangitis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 45 recruiting primary biliary cholangitis studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a primary biliary cholangitis trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a primary biliary cholangitis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
