Approach and Results: Patients were randomized 1:1:1 to oral seladelpar 5 mg (n=89), 10 mg (n=89), placebo (n=87) daily (with UDCA, as appropriate). Primary end point was a composite biochemical response [alkaline phosphatase (ALP) < 1.67×upper limit of normal (ULN), ≥15% ALP decrease from baseline, and total bilirubin ≤ ULN] at month 12. Key secondary end points were ALP normalization at month 12 and change in pruritus numerical rating scale (NRS) at month 6 in patients with baseline score ≥4. Aminotransferases were assessed. ENHANCE was terminated early following an erroneous safety signal in a concurrent, NASH trial. While blinded, primary and secondary efficacy end points were amended to month 3. Significantly more patients receiving seladelpar met the primary end point (seladelpar 5 mg: 57.1%, 10 mg: 78.2%) versus placebo (12.5%) (p < 0.0001). ALP normalization occurred in 5.4% (p=0.08) and 27.3% (p < 0.0001) of patients receiving 5 and 10 mg seladelpar, respectively, versus 0% receiving placebo. Seladelpar 10 mg significantly reduced mean pruritus NRS versus placebo [10 mg: −3.14 (p=0.02); placebo: −1.55]. Alanine aminotransferase decreased significantly with seladelpar versus placebo [5 mg: 23.4% (p=0.0008); 10 mg: 16.7% (p=0.03); placebo: 4%]. There were no serious treatment-related adverse events. Conclusions: Patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) with inadequate response or intolerance to UDCA who were treated with seladelpar 10 mg had significant improvements in liver biochemistry and pruritus. Seladelpar appeared safe and well tolerated. date: 2023-04-06 date_type: published publisher: Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health) official_url: https://doi.org/10.1097/hep.0000000000000395 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2038729 doi: 10.1097/hep.0000000000000395 lyricists_name: Thorburn, Douglas lyricists_id: DTHOR21 actors_name: Thorburn, Douglas actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: DTHOR21 actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner actors_role: impersonator full_text_status: public publication: Hepatology volume: 78 number: 2 pagerange: 397-415 citation: Hirschfield, Gideon M; Shiffman, Mitchell L; Gulamhusein, Aliya; Kowdley, Kris V; Vierling, John M; Levy, Cynthia; Kremer, Andreas E; ...
