has formed a partnership with PANTHERx Rare to distribute LIVDELZI, a treatment for adults with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC).
The collaboration aims to provide patients with the selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPAR未) agonist.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently granted accelerated approval for LIVDELZI (seladelpar) to treat PBC in adults.
The approval is contingent upon the treatment demonstrating reduced alkaline phosphatase levels.
LIVDELZI is intended to be used in combination with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) for PBC patients with an inadequate response to UDCA, or as a single agent for those who cannot tolerate it.
A rare, chronic liver disease, PBC predominantly affects middle-aged women, though men can also be diagnosed.
