Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ICPT), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel therapeutics to treat progressive non-viral liver diseases, today announced that multiple OCA abstracts will be presented at the International Liver Congress 2019, the 54th Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL), in Vienna, Austria from April 10, 2019 through April 14, 2019.
‘We are thrilled to be presenting our groundbreaking Phase 3 REGENERATE results during the Opening Ceremony and General Session of the 2019 International Liver Congress, which promises to be a watershed event for the hepatology community,’ said Mark Pruzanski, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Intercept. ‘In addition to REGENERATE, we will be presenting a late-breaking poster on a placebo-controlled study of OCA showing physiologic improvement of liver function in NASH patients with fibrosis, as assessed by the HepQuant quantitative liver function test. In PBC, we are looking forward to a late-breaking oral presentation of an investigator-initiated study which showed that the addition of bezafibrate to OCA improved both cholestasis and pruritus, underscoring the rationale for our plan to develop a fixed dose combination of these two agents.’
