GSK Says Trial of Itch Treatment Linerixibat Meets Primary Endpoint

MT Newswires Live11-19

GSK (GSK) said Tuesday that an ongoing phase 3 trial evaluating linerixibat in adults with cholestatic pruritus, or relentless itching, associated with primary biliary cholangitis met its primary endpoint of significantly improving itch over 24 weeks compared with placebo.

The company said the improvement was demonstrated by a "statistically significant" reduction from baseline in monthly itch score. GSK said preliminary safety results are "generally consistent" with prior studies, but further data analysis continues.

Full results of the trial will be presented at a future scientific congress, GSK said.
