An observational study in PFIC - Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis, sponsored by Ipsen. Active, not recruiting at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 3 Months to 100 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-01.
Sponsored by Ipsen · Observational
Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is a rare inherited liver disease that causes a build-up of bile acids in the liver. This can lead to severe itching (pruritus), poor sleep, impaired growth, liver damage, and in some cases the need for surgery or liver transplantation.
The purpose of this non-interventional, retrospective study is to compare long-term health outcomes in patients with PFIC. The comparison is between patients who received odevixibat in two odevixibat clinical trials (Studies A4250-005 and A4250-008) and an aligned, balanced external control cohort of patients with PFIC from the Natural course and Prognosis of PFIC and Effect of biliary Diversion (NAPPED) registry who were not treated with odevixibat (or other ileal bile acid transporter [IBAT] inhibitors). Outcomes such as liver transplantation, death, and surgical biliary diversion (SBD) will be examined to better understand how treatment with odevixibat compares to the natural course of PFIC. This study aims to provide a robust comparative evaluation of long-term clinical outcomes with odevixibat.
This study analysis consists of two parts: Part A will evaluate the effect of odevixibat on clinical outcomes in patients without prior SBD (i.e., SBD-naïve) who were treated with odevixibat versus SBD-naïve external controls who were not treated with odevixibat; Part B will evaluate the effect of odevixibat on clinical outcomes by comparing outcomes in patients without prior SBD who were treated with odevixibat versus external controls who underwent SBD and were not treated with odevixibat.
Ipsen is the lead sponsor of 282 studies on the registry; 16 are open to participants now.
Of its 24 completed or terminated interventional studies of FDA-regulated products, 19 (79%) have results posted.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
The study population source comprises patients of any age (paediatric and adults) with genetically confirmed PFIC who have either participated in odevixibat interventional trials (A4250-005 and A4250-008) or are included in the retrospective natural history registry (NAPPED).
