Background and study aims
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is an uncommon autoimmune chronic liver disease in which the bile ducts of the liver reduce in size over time as a result of inflammation and scarring (fibrosis). It often occurs in patients that have an inflammatory disease of the colon, for example, ulcerative colitis. Bile ducts are tubes which take bile (a liquid produced by the liver) to the intestines. Bile is like as detergent breaking up fat from the food we eat into small droplets that can then be absorbed into the body. It also allows us to absorb vitamins A, D, E and K from our diet. In people suffering from PSC, bile that is normally carried by these ducts builds up within the liver. This blockage to bile flow results in damage to liver cells, leading to inflammation and scarring. Over time, this scarring can affect the whole liver. The liver does have regenerative abilities and can usually re-grow without scarring when damaged. However, in PSC, this healing process does not work properly. A combination of scar tissue and irregular re-growth of the liver can lead eventually to cirrhosis. There are, at present, no treatments for patients with PSC and most patients with symptomatic disease eventually need a liver transplant. This study tests whether the antibody, BTT1023, which targets a protein involved in inflammation and scarring, is safe as well as effective in the treatment of PSC. BTT1023 targets a protein called VAP-1 and this enzyme has been studied in many autoimmune diseases including PSC, where studies show it to be important. PSC is diagnosed by MRI scans usually but blood tests can be used to follow the disease, including in particular elevations in one particular marker of bile duct inflammation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP). The aim of this study is to see whether the study drug can be given safely to patients diagnosed with PSC and whether it reduces inflammation and scarring.

Who can participate?
Adults aged 18-75 diagnosed with PSC

What does the study involve?
Participants undergo an initial screening process to see whether they can take part in the study, involving two visits over a period of 8 weeks. They are then given 7 infusions of the BTT1023 drug over a period of 11 weeks. Participants are followed up though 2 visits over a 6 week period. Blood tests and scans are used to see whether the drug is working.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The study is intended to see whether this new drug can reduce the level of inflammation and scarring in the liver. If so, this could potentially slow down liver damage. Possible risks of this study include side effects from the drug, the drug not being effective, and the drug dose being too low. If the TB blood test (tested for as part of screening) indicates TB exposure, then a follow-up chest x-ray is recommended, which involves a very small dose of x-rays equivalent to a few days of background radiation in the UK. The risk from this dose is negligible. BTT1023 has previously been used in studies involving patients with rheumatoid arthritis and with psoriasis. To date no major safety concern has been seen and participants are monitored carefully throughout the study.

2. John Radcliffe Hospital (UK)

InterventionCurrent interventions as of 12/02/2019:
BTT1023 will be given to patients using intravenous infusion. With informed consent, patients who have been diagnosed with PSC and whose ALP is elevated, will be eligible to be screened to take part in the study.
