Evaluate the Efficacy And Safety Of TUDCA Compare UDCA In The Treatment Of Cholestatic Liver Disease-PBC by A Randomized,Double-Blind,Double Dummy,Parallel-Controlled,Multicenter Trial and The Consecutive Treatment By TUDCA
tauroursodeoxycholic
+ ursodeoxycholic acid
Treatment Study
Summary
Study start date: August 1, 2009
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.This is a double-blind, randomized, parallel controlled, multicenter, clinical trial. Subjects inclusion by randomization after passing the screening, continuous administration the test drug (Taurolite) or control drug (Ursofalk) treatment for 24 weeks. Compare the safety and efficacy of Taurolite vs Ursofalk. At the end of the double-blind period,enroll 100 subjects from both two group randomly ,for a consecutive treatment use TUDCA up to 24 weeks. Further evaluate the efficacy and safety of tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) in the treatment of adult primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) for a long time up to one year. Also evaluate the regimen's efficacy and safety that udca take placed by TUDCA in the treatment of adult primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) for the patients who use udca treatment for 24 weeks.
