About this study

To Evaluate the Effect of Seladelpar on Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) and Compensated Cirrhosis.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

Individuals must meet the following criteria to be eligible for study participation:

  • Must be at least 18 years old.
  • Must have a confirmed prior diagnosis of PBC
  • Evidence of cirrhosis
  • CP Score A or B
  • Females of reproductive potential must use at least 1 barrier contraceptive and a second effective birth control method during the study and for at least 90 days after the last dose. Male individuals who are sexually active with female partners of reproductive potential must use barrier contraception, and their female partners must use a second effective birth control method during the study and for at least 90 days after the last dose
  • Individuals must be able to comply with the instructions for study drug administration and be able to complete the study schedule of assessments (SOA)

Exclusion criteria

Individuals must not meet any of the following criteria to be eligible for study participation:

  • Prior exposure to seladelpar
  • A medical condition other than PBC that, in the Investigator's opinion, would preclude full participation in the study
  • History of liver transplantation or actively listed for cadaveric or planned living donor transplant.
  • Decompensated cirrhosis
  • Evidence of portal vein thrombosis based on imaging at time of Screening by Doppler ultrasound or prior evidence by CT or MRI
  • Hospitalization for liver-related complication within 12 weeks of Screening
  • Laboratory parameters at Screening:
  • Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) < 1.5× Upper limit of normal (ULN) or ≥ 10×ULN
  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≥5×ULN
  • Total bilirubin (TB) ≤ 0.6 × ULN or ≥ 5 × ULN
  • Platelet count ≤50×10^3/µL
  • Albumin ≤2.8 g/dL
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <45 mL/min/1.73 m^2
  • MELD score >12. For individuals on anticoagulation medication, baseline International normalized ratio (INR) determination for MELD score calculation should take anticoagulant use into account, in consultation with the Medical Monitor.
  • Serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) >20 ng/mL
  • INR >1.7
  • CP-C cirrhosis
  • History or presence of other concomitant liver diseases

Treatment and study plan

Seladelpar

Drug
  • Seladelpar 10 mg one capsule daily for up to 36 months in participants with CP-A cirrhosis or
  • Seladelpar 5 mg one capsule daily for up to 36 months in participants with CP-B cirrhosis.

Other names: Livdelzi®

Placebo

Drug

One capsule daily for up to 36 months.

Primary outcomes

  1. Event Free Survival (EFS)

    Time frame: 36 months

    EFS as measured by the time from start of treatment to the first occurrence of any of the following clinical events:

    • Death by any cause;
    • Liver transplantation;
    • MELD score ≥15;
    • Ascites requiring treatment;
    • Hospitalization for any of the following:
    • Esophageal or gastric variceal bleeding
    • Hepatic encephalopathy
    • Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall survival

    Time frame: 36 months

    Time from start of treatment to death from any cause.

  2. Liver transplant-free survival

    Time frame: 36 months

    Time from start of treatment to the first occurrence of liver-related death or liver transplantation.

  3. Time to hospitalization

    Time frame: 36 months

    Time from start of treatment to the first occurrence of hospitalization for qualifying PBC clinical events

  4. Time to Event Free Survival (EFS)

    Time frame: 36 months

    • MELD score ≥15
    • Ascites requiring treatment
