Summary

Current standard therapy of primary biliary cholangitis-autoimmune hepatitis overlap syndrome(PBC-AIH overlap) consists of a combination of prednisolone and azathioprine. However, a significant proportion of patients may do not respond to, or is intolerant for azathioprine. Several studies have documented the efficacy and safety of mycophenolate mofetil(MMF) as second-line therapy for PBC-AIH overlap. However, robust evidence from a formal randomized clinical trial for the first-line immunosuppressor is in need.
