LIVDELZI
LIVDELZI (seladelpar lysine) is a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-delta agonist indicated for the treatment of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) in adult patients. It is used in combination with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) for those with an inadequate response to UDCA, or as a monotherapy for patients who cannot tolerate UDCA. The drug received accelerated approval based on its ability to reduce alkaline phosphatase levels, though its impact on survival or the prevention of liver decompensation has not been established. Use is not recommended for patients who have or develop decompensated cirrhosis.
How LIVDELZI Works
Seladelpar is a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-delta agonist. While the exact mechanism by which it exerts its therapeutic effects in PBC is not fully understood, it is thought to reduce bile acid synthesis by downregulating CYP7A1—the rate-limiting enzyme in the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids. This downregulation is mediated through the activation of Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 (FGF21).

ProIndications & Usage
FDA Label (PDF)LIVDELZI is indicated for the treatment of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) in combination with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in adults who have had an inadequate response to UDCA, or as monotherapy in patients unable to tolerate UDCA. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on a reduction of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) [see Clinical Studies ] . Improvement in survival or prevention of liver decompensation events have not been demonstrated. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trial(s)....
