New Options and Opportunities for Personalised Treatment of
Primary Biliary Cholangitis: Have You Updated Your Approach?
Learning Objectives
Describe the contemporary approach to pharmacologic treatment of primary
biliary cholangitis (PBC)
Identify individuals with PBC who may benefit from initiation of second-line
treatment options or a transition in second-line treatment approach
Apply available data to guide the personalisation of second-line treatment
choice for individuals with PBC based on person- and disease-specific
characteristics (eg, presence of moderate-to-severe pruritus or compensated
cirrhosis, prior treatment with fibrates or obeticholic acid [OCA])

PBC: Association Between Response to UDCA and Outcomes
| Patients treated with UDCA
show a longer
transplantation-free survival
than non-treated patients at
5,10, and 15 years
Monitoring biochemical liver
levels in response to UDCA
treatment is recommended in
clinical practice to monitor
disease progression and
treatment response
