Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of 3 doses of RhuDex vs placebo for the treatment of PBC in patients with an inadequate response to UDCA.;Secondary Objective: - To identify efficacious RhuDex dose(s) for the treatment of PBC for further evaluation in phase III - To study safety and tolerability of RhuDex;Primary end point(s): Primary Efficacy Endpoint: • Relative change (%) in Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) from baseline to End Of Trial (EoT). --- Safety Endpoints: • Adverse Events, • Vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate), body temperature, body weight and BMI, • Haematology, serum chemistry, urinalysis, coagulation, • ECG parameters (12 leads), • Patient’s tolerability of the IMP. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Throughout the study

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary Efficacy Endpoints: - ALP at each trial visit (screening to follow-up), - Absolute and relative changes (%) of ALP from baseline to each visit up to EOT, and from EOT to the follow-up visit, - ?-GT, AST, ALT, and total and conjugated bilirubin levels at each trial visit (screening to follow-up), - Absolute and relative changes (%) of ?-GT, AST, ALT and total and conjugated bilirubin levels from baseline to each visit up to EOT, and from EOT to the follow-up visit. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Throughout the study
