Frequently asked questions about Ursodiol

What is Ursodiol?

Ursodiol is a small molecule drug developed by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited. It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development. The specific medical conditions it is being studied for have not been disclosed. It has been evaluated in two completed Phase 1 trials involving healthy adult volunteers.

What does Ursodiol target?

Ursodiol targets NR1H4, also known as the farnesoid X receptor, and acts as an agonist at this receptor. Agonist activity at NR1H4 means the drug activates the receptor to trigger a biological response. This target class places Ursodiol among compounds that modulate NR1H4 signaling.

Who makes Ursodiol?

Ursodiol is developed by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, which trades under the ticker TEVA. Teva is the sponsor of the clinical trials evaluating this small molecule drug. The company holds the development program for Ursodiol as it advances through Phase 1 testing.

What phase is Ursodiol in?

Ursodiol is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and is not approved for any indication based on the available development information. The program has completed two Phase 1 trials and currently has no active trials listed.

What clinical trials is Ursodiol in?

Ursodiol has been studied in two completed Phase 1 trials. NCT00909753 evaluated Ursodiol 500 mg tablets under fed conditions in 92 healthy volunteers in Canada. NCT00909610 evaluated Ursodiol 500 mg tablets under fasting conditions in 80 healthy volunteers in Canada. Both trials enrolled adults aged 18 and older.

What is Ursodiol used for?

Ursodiol is being studied in Phase 1 clinical development, and the specific indications have not been disclosed. The completed trials enrolled healthy adult volunteers rather than patients with a defined disease, which is typical of early-phase pharmacokinetic and bioavailability studies. No approved indication is established for this development program.
