This study will collect information from patients with ALGS who are using odevixibat in their daily lives. Odevixibat is a medication that helps patients with ALGS, a rare disease that affects the liver and causes itching. The main aim of this study is to observe the long-term, everyday safety of the drug odevixibat in patients with ALGS who are receiving ongoing treatment.Show more

This study will collect information from patients with Alagille syndrome (ALGS) as they use odevixibat (Bylvay) in their daily lives. Odevixibat is a medicine that helps patients with ALGS, a rare disease that harms their liver and causes itching. The main aim of this study is to observe the long-term, everyday effectiveness and safety of the drug odevixibat in patients with ALGS who are receiving ongoing treatment.Show more

This registry-based study will collect information from people with Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis (PFIC) who take odevixibat (Bylvay) as part of routine clinical care in China. PFIC is a rare genetic liver disease that affects bile secretion and can cause bile acids to build up in the liver, which may lead to symptoms such as severe itching (pruritus). Odevixibat was first allowed to be used for PFIC in babies older than 6 months by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) on 16 July 2021 and by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on 20 July 2021 for itching in babies older than 3 months. Odevixibat is approved for the treatment of pruritus in PFIC and was approved in China on 01 December 2024 for patients 6 months of age and older with PFIC. The main aim of this registry is to assess long-term real-world safety (based on adverse events) and to describe effectiveness outcomes.Show more

The participants in this registry study will have fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP). FOP is an ultra-rare, severely disabling disease characterized by new bone formation in areas of the body where bone is not normally present (heterotopic ossification (HO)). HO is often preceded by painful, recurrent episodes of soft tissue swelling (flare-ups). This registry study will take place in countries where the treatment, known as palovarotene, has been approved for use. Participants will either be treated with palovarotene (i.e already be receiving palovarotene as prescribed by their treating physician according to locally approved product information) or untreated with palovarotene. The main aim of this registry study will be to collect and assess real-world safety data on children and adult participants with FOP treated with palovarotene. This registry study will also describe the effectiveness of palovarotene in exposed participants, including the effect on everyday activities and physical performance. In addition, this registry study aims to descriptively compare key safety outcomes (i.e. flare-up episodes, growth outcomes, and bone fractures) between participants exposed and unexposed to palovarotene.Show more

The participants of this study will have confirmed Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) and cirrhosis (scarring of the liver). PBC is a slowly progressive disease, characterised by damage to the bile ducts in the liver, leading to a build-up of bile acids which causes further damage. The liver damage in PBC may lead to cirrhosis. PBC may also be associated with multiple symptoms. Many patients with PBC may require liver transplant or may die if the disease progresses and a liver transplant is not done. This study will compare a daily dose of elafibranor (the study drug) to a daily dose of placebo (a dummy treatment) and will last up to 3.5 years for each participant. The main aim of this study is to determine if elafibranor is better than placebo in preventing clinical outcome events showing disease worsening (including progression of disease leading to liver transplant or death). This study will also study the safety of long-term treatment with elafibranor, as well as the impact on symptoms such as itching and tiredness.Show more

This study will collect information from people with Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis (PFIC) as they use odevixibat in their daily lives. Odevixibat is a medicine that helps people with PFIC, a type of rare disease that makes their liver not work well and causes itching and yellow skin. Odevixibat was first allowed to be used for PFIC in babies older than 6 months by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) on 16 July 2021 and by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on 20 July 2021 for itching in babies older than 3 months. Obevixibat was approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) in South Korea on 23 August 2024. This study will collect information to see how well and how safe odevixibat is in the long run for participants in South Korea.Show more

The purpose of this study is to find out how well and safely elafibranor works compared to placebo in adult participants with Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). PSC is a rare disease that causes inflammation and scarring of the bile ducts in the liver. Over time, this can lead to liver damage and serious health problems, including the need for a liver transplant and death. In this study, about 350 participants with large duct PSC will take part. Participants will be randomized to receive either elafibranor 120 mg once daily or a placebo (a tablet with no active medicine). The study includes a screening period, an treatment period, and a post-treatment safety follow-up. During the study, participants will undergo routine clinical assessments, laboratory testing, imaging evaluations, and complete patient-reassessments to evaluate liver disease progression, symptoms, quality of life and safety. Following the end of treatment, participants will complete a safety follow-up period at approximately four weeks. Participants may withdraw from the study at any time. Each participant may be in the study for several years, as the treatment period will continue until the study reaches enough health events among participants, which is expected to take about 5 years.Show more
