Study summary

The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the combination of study drugs seladelpar and cilofexor. The study will assess, the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of the combination drugs versus both seladelpar alone and placebo, in participants with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC).

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether the combination of seladelpar + cilofexor leads to greater alkaline phosphatase (ALP) reduction than seladelpar alone and describe the safety and tolerability of seladelpar + cilofexor.

Eligibility criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Have a diagnosis of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) as defined by a history of any 2 of the following criteria:

    1. ALP above 1.0 × the for at least 6 months
    2. Positive antimitochondrial antibody titer (> 1:40 on immunofluorescence or M2 positive by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) or positive PBC-specific antinuclear antibodies
    3. Documented liver results consistent with PBC
  • Used ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) for the past 12 months (stable dose for > 6 months prior to screening), or intolerant to UDCA (last dose of UDCA > 90 days prior to screening)
  • Have an ALP ≥ 1.67 × ULN at screening
  • Have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Have other causes of liver disease including viral, alcoholic, , and metabolic associated steatohepatitis (MASH).
  • Cirrhosis with Score ≥ 7, corresponding to Class B or C. Individuals with compensated cirrhosis (ie, Child-Pugh Class A) are allowed if they meet all other criteria.
  • Have evidence of portal hypertension or hepatic decompensation (historic or current), including but not limited to: hepatic encephalopathy, known esophageal or gastric varices, history of liver transplantation, current placement on liver transplant list, Model for End Stage Liver Disease score ≥ 12, ascites, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, hepatorenal syndrome.
  • Have previous exposure to seladelpar or cilofexor
  • Used obeticholic acid, fenofibrate, bezafibrate, elafibranor, pemafibrate, or saroglitazar within 6 weeks (42 days, inclusive) of screening date
  • Require or expect to require treatment with ≥ 5 mg prednisone (or systemic equivalents) for > 2 weeks during the study
  • Are on any systemic drug for antipruritic treatment that has required a dose adjustment in the 30 days before screening, or initiated a systemic antipruritic drug in the 30 days before screening

Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Child-Pugh class

A score of how well the liver works in people with liver disease such as cirrhosis: class A is mild, B moderate and C severe.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Seladelpar (SEL) 10 mg + Placebo-to-Match (PTM) Cilofexor (CILO) Dose A + CILO Dose B

    Participants will receive a dose of SEL 10 mg capsule along with PTM CILO Dose A tablets and CILO Dose B tablets, once daily up to 24 weeks. At completion of Week 24, participants will continue in an Active Treatment Extension (ATE) Period, during which they will receive SEL 10 mg along with either CILO Dose A or Dose B at the original randomized dose in a blinded fashion, up to Week 312.
