Study causes of primary sclerosing cholangitis using body scans
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at what drives primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and how it affects the body, using a team approach and medical tests like scans and blood work. It may help researchers understand PSC better and could improve future treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old (or willing/able to participate as an adult)
- You are able and willing to follow the study plan for its full length
- You have confirmed PSC from blood tests plus an imaging test (MRCP or ERCP) showing large bile-duct changes
- You agree to follow the study’s lifestyle rules (including probiotic restrictions during the study)
- If you can become pregnant: you must not be pregnant during the study and must use reliable birth control

This study follows children and young adults with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) to understand the condition and how it shows up on scans or biopsy. It may help doctors better recognize PSC and choose the best next steps for care.
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.
This study creates a national database for people diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). It may help researchers learn more about the condition by collecting health information from participants.
This study collects bile and uses it to grow small lab models (organoids) from people with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and from people without PSC. Researchers want to better understand how PSC changes bile cells, which could improve future diagnosis or treatments.
This study checks whether annual liver scans using MRI (including a special MRI procedure and possibly contrast dye) can help people with primary sclerosing cholangitis. It may improve how the condition is monitored over time.
This Phase 2 trial studies a “detoxification” approach to improve liver and bile-duct function in people with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). It may help lower abnormal bile flow markers and see whether the treatment is safe for your liver.
