Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis in Children

Investigating new treatments for children with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis.

2-25 years
All
Phase N/A

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare liver disease that harms the bile ducts. These are tiny tubes that help move bile, a liquid from the liver, to the small intestine. Bile helps us digest and use nutrients from our food. In PSC, bile gets stuck in the liver, leading to damage and scarring. This study focuses on kids with PSC to understand more about the disease's progress, find out what might speed it up, and see how it affects daily life.

The study will collect information and samples like DNA from children with PSC. This will help researchers find out more about the causes and long-term effects of PSC. The study will also look at how PSC affects children's lives and explore new imaging techniques to see the liver's condition better.

  • The study includes children ages 2-25 with PSC and lasts several years.
  • Participants will need to visit clinical sites and share medical information and samples.
  • Participants must not have had previous liver transplants or certain other medical conditions.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
