BCD-085 is an innovative drug, anti-interleukin-17 monoclonal antibody. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BCD-085 in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC).
This is an open-label proof-of-concept phase 2A study. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BCD-085 in combination with ursodeoxycholic acid in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) with compensated liver function with an inadequate (suboptimal) response to ursodeoxycholic acid. In this study the inadequate (suboptimal) response to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is defined as screening alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level \> 1.67 ULN (the upper limit of normal) despite treatment with UDCA in stable dose for at least 6 months before signing the ICF.

The proportion of patients with alkaline phosphatase (ALP) decrease > 40% from Baseline (day 1 week 0) or with normal ALP level (Barcelona criteria) after 24 weeks of treatment with BCD-085 in combination with UDCA.
Biochemical response is defined as ALP decrease \> 40% from Baseline or normalisation of ALP level (Barcelona criteria).
