First-line therapy for PBC is ursodeoxycholic acid, although up to 40% of treated individuals are incomplete responders, and there is no effective therapy for PSC, highlighting the need for better therapeutic options in these diseases. In addition, pruritus is a common symptom of cholestasis that has severe consequences for quality of life and is often undertreated or untreated. Nuclear receptors are pharmacological targets to treat cholestasis due to their multifactorial regulation of hepatic enzymatic pathways, particularly in bile acid metabolism. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) is of significant clinical interest due to its role in regulating bile acid synthesis and detoxification pathways. PPAR agonism by fibrates has traditionally been explored due to PPARα's expression in the liver; however, recent interest has expanded to focus on newer PPAR agonists that activate other PPAR isoforms, for example, δ, γ, alone or in combination.
