What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Relative Change in Baseline Serum Alkaline Phosphatase (AP) at Week 24

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    TEAEs were planned to be collected up to 24 weeks. Due to the early study termination, data is reported up to Day 59.

    Measured: Up to Day 59

  2. Incidence of Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC)-Related Symptoms or Procedures

    Measured: Up to 24 weeks

  3. Incidence of Hepatic Disease Progression Events

    Hepatic disease progression events is defined by the first occurrence of the following events: liver transplantation, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score ≥ 15, hepatic decompensation events, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

    Measured: Up to 24 weeks

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Seladelpar in people with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis, run by Gilead Sciences at 10 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 16 inclusion and 19 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jan 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States, Canada, Poland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Jan 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Relative Change in Baseline Serum Alkaline Phosphatase (AP) at Week 24 (time frame: Baseline, Week 24). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Jan 2025.
