PBC Summit Centers the Voices of People Living With the Disease

The PBC Foundation International Summit is a conference where people living with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC)—a rare liver disease—share their experiences and perspectives. Unlike typical medical conferences focused mainly on doctors and research, this summit puts patients' voices at the center of discussions. A woman with PBC explains what makes this event different and valuable for the community.

WHY IT MATTERSPatient-centered conferences like this one help people with PBC connect with others, learn directly from their peers' experiences, and ensure their needs shape future research and treatment discussions.

New Recruiting Trial: Exploration of Systemic and Portal Hemostasis in Patients Undergoing Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt Placement

Researchers are looking for patients who need a procedure called a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) to help study how blood clotting works in patients with liver disease. This trial will examine blood clotting patterns before and after the procedure to better understand how TIPS affects the body's ability to form and break down blood clots. The study is recruiting patients starting in April 2026 and is being run by hospitals in Paris.

WHY IT MATTERSThis trial is now recruiting patients undergoing TIPS placement — if you have advanced liver disease with portal hypertension and are scheduled for this procedure, you may be eligible to contribute to research that could improve how doctors manage bleeding risks in liver disease patients.
