The objectives of this qualitative study are to elicit concepts about symptoms that are
important to patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), as well as the key impacts
of symptoms on patients' day-to-day functioning.

In Step I, concept elicitation one-on-one interviews (via telephone or in person) will be
conducted. The aims of the concept elicitation interviews are to:

1. Identify the most common symptoms, as well as the most important symptoms, for patients
with PSC, and

2. Assess whether these symptoms impact day-to-day functioning

An instrument will be developed based on the symptoms reported and in Step II of the study,
the performance of the instrument will be assessed with further interviews.
