Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Evaluation of the efficacy of different doses of nor UDCA vs. placebo for the treatment of Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC). Identification of optimal dose(s)for the treatment of PSC.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Double-blind, randomized, multi-center, placebo-controlled, comparative exploratory phase II-finding trial.The study will be conducted with four treatment groups in the form of a parallel-group comparison and will serve to compare oral treatment with either 500 mg/d, 1000 mg/d or 1500 mg/d norursodeoxycholic acid capsules vs. Placebo capsules for the treatment of PSC.
