AASLD/EASL: Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) Endpoint

Description

The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) and the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) have jointly led a multi-stakeholder Consensus Process focused on the use of surrogate endpoints and real-world evidence in the design of clinical trials for Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC).

This collaborative initiative culminated in a Consensus Conference held during the 2025 EASL Congress in Amsterdam, bringing together global experts, regulatory authorities, patient representatives, and industry stakeholders.

The final recommendations from this Consensus Process will be presented in the current session.
