AI Summary

The U.S. FDA has granted accelerated approval for Ipsen’s Iqirvo® (elafibranor) 80 mg tablets to treat primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). Iqirvo is approved for use in combination with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in adults who have not responded well to UDCA, or as a stand-alone treatment for patients who cannot tolerate it. This approval allows doctors to prescribe Iqirvo immediately to eligible patients in the United States, offering a new treatment option for a rare liver disease that affects around 100,000 Americans.

The decision is based on findings from the Phase III ELATIVE trial, where significant improvements in the biochemical marker alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were observed. Although long-term outcomes like improved survival have not yet been confirmed, this accelerated approval meets an urgent need for PBC patients who previously had few effective treatment choices.
