Who will benefit best from Seladelpar?

Seladelpar (Seladelpar) is a drug used to treat primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) . Its efficacy is affected by individual differences among patients. However, based on existing clinical studies and data analysis, certain groups of people may experience more significant effects when using Siladepa.

First of all, patients who have a poor response to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) are the group who have better effects on Siladepa. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is a commonly used drug to treat PBC, but not all patients respond well to it. Especially in patients with more severe disease or significantly impaired liver function, UDCA may not be able to effectively control the progression of the disease. For these patients, Siladepa, as an alternative or combination therapy, can significantly improve liver function indicators, reduce inflammatory reactions, and effectively control the symptoms of PBC. Especially for patients who have already developed bile duct damage and liver fibrosis, Siladepa can help reduce further liver damage.

Secondly, patients who cannot tolerate UDCA can also benefit from treatment with Siladepa. Although UDCA is very common in the treatment of PBC, some patients may not be able to tolerate the drug due to side effects, such as diarrhea, abdominal pain and other gastrointestinal reactions. For these patients, the introduction of Siladepa provides an effective treatment alternative and can avoid the side effects of UDCA.

In addition, patients with early-stage PBC generally do better with Siladepa. Although Siladepa can be used to treat patients with PBC at all stages, drug treatment in the early stages of the disease can more effectively control the disease and avoid the progression of liver fibrosis. For these patients, timely initiation of treatment can significantly delay the decline of liver function and maintain quality of life for a longer period of time.
