The Foundation is very proud of its record in supporting and facilitating research about PBC.
There are more clinical trials in PBC than ever before with more pharmaceutical companies exploring possibilities to make a positive difference for PBC patients. Despite great strides in recent years, there are still many unanswered questions about PBC: what causes the disease? how best to treat the condition and its symptoms? and even what is the cure? Research can help answer these questions . People living with PBC may want to consider, if appropriate, taking part in clinical trials. Always ask your doctor for advice about clinical trials and whether you may be suitable to take part.
