Brief Summary

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

Research project in which biological material is sampled and health-related medical data is collected. In addition, already existing health-related medical data are used for further research. Coded data are used.

Detailed Description

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

Enrolment visit and one follow-up visit at least once a year are planned.

Whole blood is collected for biobanking once a year. Optionally, if available and collected during normal clinical procedures, liver fragments are obtained.

To collect high quality prospective data on a rare disease in order to elucidate epidemiology, natural history, response to treatment and outcome. In addition, the biobank allows addressing specific scientific issues on a variety of open questions. The cohort will provide a platform for carrying out scientific research projects on PBC. In addition, the cohort will allow collaboration with reference networks on PBC abroad.
