Abstract

The present invention relates to the use of compound 1-[4-methylthiophenyl]-3-[3,5-dimethyl-4-carboxydimethylmethyloxyphenyl]prop-2-en-1-one (Elafibranor or GFT505) for treating cholestatic diseases, and more specifically PBC and/or PSC.

Claims (15)

1. A method for improving lipid parameters in a subject having primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), the method comprising orally administering to the subject a composition comprising elafibranor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of elafibranor at a dose between 70 mg and 130 mg per administration.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the treatment improves triglyceride levels in the subject.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the treatment improves low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-cholesterol) level in the subject.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the treatment improves high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-cholesterol) level in the subject.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises elafibranor.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said composition is formulated in a form selected from the group consisting of a gel, an oil, a pill, a tablet, a powder, a gel cap, a capsule, and a galenic form or device assuring a prolonged and/or slow release.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein said composition is formulated in a form of a tablet.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein elafibranor is administered once a day.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the administration dose is of 80 mg per administration.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the administration dose is of 120 mg per administration.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject having primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) has an inadequate response to ursodeoxycholic acid.

12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising administering to the subject another anti-cholestatic agent.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the other anti-cholestatic agent is ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA).

14. The method according to claim 1 , the method comprising orally administering elafibranor at a dose of 80 mg per administration and ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), to the subject.

15. The method according to claim 1 , the method comprising orally administering elafibranor at a dose of 80 mg per administration and ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), to a subject having primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and an inadequate response to UDCA.
