Brief Summary:

A 52-week, placebo-controlled, randomized, Phase 3 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of seladelpar in subjects with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and an inadequate response to or intolerance to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA)

The participants might enter the ongoing open-label safety study (NCT03301506) following this double-blind study.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Primary Biliary Cholangitis Drug: seladelpar 5-10 mg Drug: seladelpar 10 mg Drug: Placebo Phase 3

Detailed Description:

Primary:

  • To evaluate the safety and effect on cholestasis of two seladelpar regimens (5 mg/day titrated to 10 mg/day and 10 mg/day) over 52 weeks of treatment compared to placebo

Key Secondary:

  • To evaluate the effect of seladelpar on normalization of alkaline phosphatase (AP) levels
  • To evaluate the effect of seladelpar on pruritus

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Seladelpar 5-10 mg Drug: seladelpar 5-10 mg
Seladelpar 5 mg for 6 months and then titrating up to 10 mg based on tolerability and response for remainder of double-blind period. After completion of the 1-year double-blind period subjects will be offered the opportunity to enter an open label long term safety study. Subjects will continue the seladelpar dose (5 or 10 mg) received during the double-blinded study

Experimental: Seladelpar 10 mg Drug: seladelpar 10 mg
Seladelpar 10 mg for double-blind period. After completion of the 1-year double-blind period subjects will be offered the opportunity to enter an open label safety study. Subjects will continue the seladelpar dose (10 mg) received during the double-blinded study

Placebo Comparator: Placebo Drug: Placebo
One capsule daily for double-blind period. After completion of the 1-year double-blind period subjects will be offered the opportunity to enter an open label long term safety study. Subjects on placebo will be re-randomized to initiate seladelpar at 5 or 10 mg once daily




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants With Response to Composite Endpoint of ALP <1.67 × Upper Limit of Normal [ULN], ≥15% Reduction in ALP, and Total Bilirubin ≤ ULN) at Month 3 [ Time Frame: Month 3 ]

    Percentage of Participants with Response to Composite Endpoint of ALP <1.67 × Upper Limit of Normal [ULN], ≥15% reduction in ALP, and total bilirubin ≤ ULN) at Month 3. The mITT analysis set included all randomized subjects who received at least one study drug dose.

    The primary endpoint was analyzed using Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) test adjusted for both randomization stratification variables (ALP level: <350 U/L and 2:350 U/L; pruritus NRS: <4 and 2:4). The CMH tests were performed for the comparison of 10 mg versus placebo and 5 mg/10 mg versus placebo separately.



Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants With Response Defined by Normalized Alkaline Phosphatase Levels at Month 3 [ Time Frame: Month 3 ]
    The response was defined by normalized ALP levels (ALP ≤1.0 × ULN) at endpoint. The mITT analysis set included all randomized subjects who received at least one study drug dose.

  2. Change From Baseline in Pruritus NRS for Subjects With Baseline NRS ≥4 at Month 3 [ Time Frame: Month 3 ]
    Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) used to rate the intensity of the worst itching you experienced in the past 24 hours from no itching to worst possible itching by selecting a number from 0 to 10 on Itch Scale. Zero means no itching and 10 means worst imaginable itching. The analysis will be limited to those subjects in the mITT analysis set with a baseline NRS ≥ 4.
