“The mission of the psc partners seeking a cure foundation is to provide education and support to psc patients, families and caregivers and to raise funds to research causes, treatments and potential cures for primary sclerosing cholangitis. Other significant activities the members of the pscp scientific/medical advisory committee are actively engaged in deciding where to allocate our funds for psc research. Through this competitive program, pscp has awarded research grants to prominent psc researchers. In 2014, pscp launched the psc partners patient registry. The goal of the registry is to collect de-identified (anonymous) information on patients diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis (psc) in order to increase and accelerate research, enable clinical and drug trials, and find effective treatments for psc. Psc is a poorly understood disease for which there are currently no effective therapies and no known cure. We hope that our patient registry will provide a forum for psc patients from all over the world to share their medical information and provide researcher with data that will lead to a better understanding of psc. Since 2005 pscp has held annual patient conferences for psc patients and caregivers at different medical centers throughout the country. These weekend conferences offer the opportunity to learn about the most recent advances in psc treatments and research and also to share experiences, advice, and concerns with other pscers. Pscp has started holding local forums for psc patients and caregivers. The psc partners seeking a cure website includes advice and personal stories from our members, so that we can offer valuable everyday living suggestions to pscers in addition to updates on treatments and medical research. In addition, pscp publishes a free online newsletter with updates about the latest treatments, research results, and coping suggestions.”
