Key Highlights from the Primary Biliary Cholangitis Market Report
• The Primary Biliary Cholangitis market was valued at nearly USD 1.15 billion in 2023 and is expected to expand at a noteworthy CAGR throughout the forecast timeline (2020-2034).
• In March 2026, GSK finalized a late-stage agreement granting Alfasigma commercialization rights for linerixibat, an IBAT inhibitor currently under regulatory review globally for treating cholestatic pruritus in PBC. The deal includes an upfront payment of $300 million, with additional milestone-based payments tied to regulatory approvals and sales performance.
• In September 2025, Zydus Therapeutics announced plans to file for US FDA approval of saroglitazar magnesium following strong Phase IIb/III EPICS-III trial outcomes, particularly in patients unresponsive to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA).
• In the same month, Intercept Pharmaceuticals withdrew Ocaliva (obeticholic acid) from the US market after FDA concerns regarding serious liver injury risks, alongside halting ongoing clinical trials.
• Zydus Therapeutics further reported that saroglitazar achieved a 48.5% improvement in biochemical response versus placebo, marked by reductions in alkaline phosphatase levels-an important marker of disease progression.
• In May 2025, Dr. Falk Pharma's norucholic acid demonstrated statistically significant improvements in a Phase III trial for PSC, including reductions in alkaline phosphatase levels and slowing disease progression.
• Galmed Pharmaceuticals also reported promising preclinical findings for Aramchol, highlighting its anti-fibrotic potential and ability to modulate key signaling pathways in cholangiopathies.
• Chemomab Therapeutics shared positive results from the extension phase of its SPRING trial for nebokitug, showing continued patient participation and extended treatment benefits.
• COUR Pharmaceuticals received FDA Orphan Drug Designation in January 2025 for CNP-104, targeting immune-mediated pathways in PBC.
• Gilead Sciences received a positive CHMP opinion for seladelpar in December 2024, with final European Commission approval anticipated shortly thereafter.
• Interim Phase III data from the ASSURE study showed strong biochemical response rates with seladelpar, including normalization of ALP levels in a significant proportion of patients.
• Ipsen secured conditional EU approval for elafibranor (Iqirvo®), a dual PPARα/δ agonist targeting bile acid regulation, inflammation, and fibrosis.
• The FDA granted accelerated approval to seladelpar in August 2024 for use in PBC patients with inadequate response or intolerance to UDCA.
• The United States accounted for the largest diagnosed patient population in 2023, with numbers expected to rise steadily through 2034.
• Among European countries, Germany reported the highest diagnosed prevalence, exceeding 34,000 cases in 2023.
• Age-wise analysis indicates peak prevalence between 40-70 years, with a significant rise in cases as age increases.
• Gender-based analysis shows a strong female predominance, accounting for approximately 82% of cases in the US.
• Leading companies operating in the PBC space include CymaBay Therapeutics, Zydus Therapeutics, Gannex Pharma, Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Enanta Pharmaceuticals, Novartis, Merck & Co., Mirum Pharmaceuticals, Genfit, Calliditas Therapeutics, and others.
• Key therapies in development and commercialization include seladelpar, saroglitazar, ASC42, obeticholic acid, bezafibrate, elafibranor, volixibat, setanaxib, and multiple pipeline candidates.
• The PBC market is projected to grow significantly due to increasing disease awareness, improved diagnosis rates, and the launch of innovative therapies that are expected to transform treatment paradigms.

Primary Biliary Cholangitis Overview
Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC), formerly referred to as primary biliary cirrhosis, is a chronic autoimmune disorder affecting the small bile ducts in the liver. Progressive inflammation and damage lead to bile accumulation, resulting in liver injury and eventual fibrosis or cirrhosis.
