In episode 45 of the Living with PSC Podcast, Host Niall McKay talks with Tom Karlsen, MD, PhD, Co-Chair of the 2024 PSC Partners 20th Anniversary Annual Conference, and Clinical Specialist in Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology, Oslo University Hospital, Norway. "I've worked on PSC for more than 20 years, and that aligns nicely with the 20-year anniversary of the Conference, because I've seen PSC Partners throughout this entire career." Dr. Karlsen has partnered with the PSC Partners' team to create a dynamic agenda for the Conference. "I am fortunate to be co-chairing this meeting together with PSC Partners," says Dr. Karlsen. "(The Conference) is a mixture of basic knowledge and the research agenda as it currently stands," adding that cutting-edge research results are also on the agenda. "This is a big honor for me." The conversation also covers the gut microbiome, the benefits of slowing PSC progression, and the search for a cause. "I think to achieve a full-stop in PSC development, you need to know the cause," he says. "There's alot of activity in this space for the first time in many, many years. So, it will be an exciting 3-5 years from now." Each month, this podcast explores the latest research and knowledge about PSC. From patient stories to the latest research updates from PSC experts to collaborations that are necessary to find better treatments and a cure, this podcast has it all!…

In episode 44 of the Living with PSC Podcast, Host Niall McKay talks with Jesse Kirkpatrick, Ph.D., a third-year Harvard University medical student, researcher at MIT, PSC Partners board member, and family member of a person with PSC. They discuss Dr. Kirkpatrick's research on early detection of Cholangiocarcinoma, a rare cancer for which people with PSC are susceptible. It is often difficult to treat in our population, because Cholangiocarcinoma is typically detected late in people with PSC. Kirkpatrick and others are working to develop better diagnostic and screening tests for bile duct cancers to enable earlier detection and better outcomes for patients. In 2023, he was the winner of the American Medical Association Research Challenge for his work in this area.…

They also discuss the differences between PSC and PBC, clinical trials searching for treatments and a cure, studies exploring the cause of PSC, and how IBD, particularly colitis, may reduce the risk of post-transplant recurrence. "In retrospective studies, our group and others around the world have found that people who have colitis and have had their large bowel removed (and have kept their stoma), lower their risk of developing recurrence of PSC," says Dr. Trivedi.…

I think alot of it was not having control over the situation." says Jessica. According to the couple, their story involves lots of assistance and kindness from others along the way.…

"(Drug repurposing) is an opportunity to utilize existing drugs that are in development or already approved and redirect for the rare disease space," says Korsunska. "It's potentially cheaper than novel drug development, potentially faster. It's potentially easier to get these drugs into a position that a doctor can actually prescribe them."…

In episode 35 of the Living with PSC Podcast, Host Niall McKay talks with Dr. Kidist Yimam, Medical Director of the Autoimmune Liver Disease Program at California Pacific Medical Center. She is also a member of the PSC Partners Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Working Group. In this podcast, they discuss health inequalities in PSC, including provider bias, lack of access to care, delay in diagnosis, importance of diversity in clinical trials, and more. "It is not unusual to hear from some of our minority patients that they've been told by other providers that PSC affects people who are Caucasian, and they shouldn't be affected by the disease, leading to a delay in diagnosis of PSC, and even putting them at risk of poorer outcomes," says Dr. Yimam. McKay and Yimam also discuss how including a diverse group of people in PSC natural history studies will allow researchers to better understand how genetics, socio-economic factors, cultural biases, and more affect the search for treatments and a cure for PSC. To make that happen, diversity is needed within the PSC Partners Patient Registry.…

So, the option of a living donor was a better fit for me." She received 56% of her younger brother's liver. "It was a very special day," she says.…

This is the second of two conversations about this Conference. "It's going to be a slightly different and very exciting conference," says Dr. Korzenik. "It's envisioning a very different kind of future for PSC where there's a broader engagement of everybody, and it's really becoming much more of an international community, which is very exciting." Dr. Pratt agrees, adding, "An exciting research initiative that will be rolled out at the conference is the WIND Initiative (Worldwide Integration of Natural History Databases), which will, hopefully, accelerate our identification of new therapies for PSC."…
