Comparing two drugs for liver inflammation from immunotherapy
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a bile acid pill (UDCA) works better than steroids for treating liver inflammation caused by immunotherapy cancer treatment. It may help patients who have moderate to severe liver side effects from their cancer drugs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have any type of cancer except liver cancer (hepatocellular or bile duct cancer)
- You have had at least one dose of immunotherapy (immune checkpoint inhibitor)
- You have been diagnosed with a grade 3 or 4 cholestatic hepatitis (a type of liver inflammation caused by immunotherapy)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests adding tauroursodeoxycholic acid (a bile acid supplement) to standard immunotherapy (PD-1/PD-L1 drugs) for people with advanced liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to see if the combination works better than immunotherapy alone.
This trial studies a way to treat inflammation of the liver (hepatitis) caused by immune cancer medicines (anti-PD-1/PD-L1, sometimes with anti-CTLA-4) without relying on high-dose steroids. It may help reduce steroid side effects while keeping liver inflammation under control.
This trial looks at whether slowly reducing UDCA (a medication for primary biliary cholangitis) is safe and still helpful in people whose liver tests have improved. It may help some patients avoid higher doses if their disease is well controlled.
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.
This trial tests an experimental drug (CS0159) for people with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) who either didn't respond well to or couldn't take the standard treatment UDCA. It aims to improve liver function and reduce symptoms.
This trial tests whether using low-dose steroids can safely manage liver inflammation caused by immunotherapy. It may help patients who have moderate liver problems from their cancer treatment but haven't yet started high-dose steroids.
