Who may be able to join
- Individuals must meet the following criteria to be eligible for study participation:
- Male or female with a diagnosis of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) based on history.
- Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) for the 12 months prior to screening (with stable dose for > 3 months prior to screening) OR intolerant to UDCA (last dose of UDCA > 3 months prior to screening).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Seladelpar 10 mg in people with Primary Biliary Cholangitis, run by Gilead Sciences at 45 sites in 2 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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 45 sites in United States, Canada. 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. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Percentage of Participants Response defined as Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≤ 1.0× Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) AND ≥ 15% Decrease in ALP at Week 52. (time frame: 52 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 4 Jun 2026.
