Brief summary
Evaluate the long-term safety of maralixibat (MRX) in subjects with cholestatic liver disease including, but not limited to, Alagille Syndrome (ALGS), Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis (PFIC) and Biliary Atresia.
Detailed description
This is a multicenter, open-label study of maralixibat in subjects diagnosed with cholestatic liver disease (including, but not limited to ALGS, PFIC or Biliary Atresia) who have previously participated in a maralixibat clinical study. All subjects received maralixibat in the previous studies and will continues to receive maralixibat in this study.
Interventions
Maralixibat chloride oral solution orally twice daily (up to 1200\* mcg/kg/day), and according to indication. \*equivalent to 1140 mcg/kg/day maralixibat

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Subjects will need to meet all criteria below to be considered eligible for the study. 1. Provide informed consent and assent (as applicable) per the Institutional Review Board/Ethics Committee (IRB/EC). 2. Previously participated in a maralixibat study and with approval of the Medical Monitor. Previous participation is defined as: * Having completed the EOT Visit, for subjects coming from the maralixibat Phase 2 studies. * Having completed the entire duration of the study (i.e., core and extension, if applicable), for subjects coming from the maralixibat Phase 3 studies. 3. At least 1 year of age 4. Males, and females of non-childbearing potential. Males and non-pregnant, non-lactating females of childbearing potential who are sexually active must agree to use acceptable contraception during the study and 30 days following the last dose of the study medication. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test. 5. Caregivers (and/or age appropriate subjects) must have access to email or phone for scheduled remote visits if applicable. 6. Subject and caregiver willingness to comply with all study visits and requirements.
