Title: Prospective Non-Interventional, Phase Iv Multicentre Study To Assess The Effectiveness, Safety And Tolerability Of Elafibranor 80 Mg/Day In Patients With Primary Biliary Cholangitis Receiving Treatment In A Real-World Setting
Brief Title: ELFINITY CLIN-60190-461
Brief Summary: This study will collect information from participants with Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) as they use the drug elafibranor in real world setting. PBC is a progressive rare liver disease in which tubes in the liver called bile ducts are damaged. The liver damage in PBC may lead to scarring (cirrhosis). PBC may also be associated with multiple symptoms. Many participants with PBC may require liver transplant or may die if the disease progresses and a liver transplant is not done. In this study the main aim is to observe the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of elafibranor in participants with PBC who are receiving treatment in real world setting. The total study duration for each participants will be 24 months.

Title: Immune and metabolic characterization of patients with alcohol-associated hepatitis
Brief Title: Characterization of AH
Brief Summary: This research study aims to establish a clinical database and biorepository to gain a deeper understanding of the causes and mechanisms of illnesses like alcoholic-associated hepatitis and other diseases. This involves the collection of blood samples (referred to as biological samples) and personal health information from both healthy and sick participants for potential use in future investigations into alcoholic-associated hepatitis or other diseases. A biological sample typically refers to blood but may include any bodily fluid. Personal Health Information encompasses details such as name, age, gender, race, and medical history, as well as data from prior research participation or routine medical examinations.

Title: Alcoholic Hepatitis Network Clinical Study
Brief Title: AlcHepNet Clinical Study
Brief Summary: The purpose of this research study is to create a clinical database and bio-repository. To do this, we will obtain blood, urine, saliva, and stool samples (e.g., biological samples) and personal health information from you to use in future research studies related to alcoholic hepatitis or other diseases. Part of your blood sample will be used to extract your DNA. DNA is the genetic material that gives us unique characteristics. We are doing this research study because we are trying to find out more about how and why illnesses related to alcoholic hepatitis or other diseases occur in people. To do this, we will study the biological samples and personal health information from healthy and sick people. A "biological sample" is usually blood, but can be any body fluid. "Personal Health Information" includes such items as your name, age, gender, race, and/or your medical information. It can also include data from measurements and tests that you had while participating in another research study or that were done during the course of your regular medical care or doctor visits.
