Study of PFIC types and how bile diversion affects outlook
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at different genetic liver conditions called PFIC and follows how they progress over time. It also studies whether a procedure called biliary diversion may improve symptoms or long-term outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your doctor suspects you have PFIC, a rare inherited liver condition
- Your suspected PFIC type may involve FIC1, BSEP, or MDR3 genes
- This suspicion can be based on symptoms, blood tests, and/or other clinical findings (not just confirmed genetics)
- You may be asked for evaluations to better understand which PFIC subtype you have

This study tracks treatments and outcomes for people with a confirmed genetic form of PFIC, a rare liver disease. It helps doctors learn which treatments work best for each type.
This study looks at how genes affect bile flow problems in the liver. If you have a rare genetic condition like PFIC, researchers want to understand your specific type better by comparing your genes to your symptoms.
This study follows patients with PFIC (a rare liver disease affecting bile flow) who are taking or planning to take odevixibat (Bylvay), a medication that helps manage the condition. Researchers will track how well the medication works, any side effects, and long-term health outcomes in Chinese patients.
This study looks for new genes that might cause abnormal liver test results or specific bile duct diseases in adults, when standard testing hasn't found a clear cause. It also uses healthy blood donors as a comparison group.
This study creates a registry to track children with specific genetic liver conditions that cause cholestasis (slow bile flow). Being in the registry helps researchers better understand these diseases and may help future patients.
This study looks at whether certain family-related genes make people more likely to develop liver or bile duct cancers without a clear cause. If you had surgery or a transplant for one of these cancers and have had unexplained high liver enzymes or itching, this trial may help find genetic clues.
