Investigational PPAR-delta Agonist for PBC Treatment and Race-Based Considerations for PBC Diagnosis: Conference Coverage of AASLD

During the 2023 American Association of the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) conference, exciting and important results from many primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) clinical trials were reported, including 3 late-breaking studies on the PPAR-delta agonist seladelpar, the dual PPAR agonist elafibranor, and the combination of the FXR agonist obeticholic acid and a fibrate.In this episode, Stuart C. Gordon, MD, FAASLD, discusses topline results from one of these late-breaking studies and more, including: A phase III study of an investigational PPAR-delta agonist (seladelpar) in people with PBC who had failed to respond to ursodeoxycholic acidA study that explored racial differences as they relate to the presentation and diagnosis of PBCPresenter: Stuart C.
