PBC Research Studies

Here you'll find the latest clinical trials available for Biliary Tract Diseases. This website lets you know whether these studies are recruiting, what the purpose of the study is and gives you contact e-mail addresses if you wish to enroll. One study currently underway and still recruiting is for sufferers of itching. The medicine being offered and studied is Sertraline - an antidepressant (mood elevator) used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and panic attacks.

Finally, if you wish for more pointers into researching PBC. Then consider buying the book: The Official Patient's Sourcebook on Primary Biliary Cirrhosis. This is a "must have" reference book for patients, parents, caregivers, and libraries with medical collections. This sourcebook is organized into three parts. Part I explores basic techniques to researching primary biliary cirrhosis (e.g. finding guidelines on diagnosis, treatments, and prognosis), followed by a number of topics, including information on how to get in touch with organizations, associations, or other patient networks dedicated to primary biliary cirrhosis.

If you need help locating specific research, then please don't hesitate to contact me. I will do all I can to assist you if the research is available. Meanwhile, if you find research that you believe will be beneficial to sufferers of PBC, then please do pass it along to me so that I may share it with other readers here. Thank you.
