Inclusion criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. Provide informed consent and assent (as applicable) per Institutional Review Board/Ethics Committee (IRB/EC) 2. Completion of study MRX-502

Exclusion criteria

1. Any female who is pregnant or lactating or who is planning to become pregnant 2. Administration of prohibited medication between the MRX-502 EOT visit and the MRX 503 Baseline Visit (Day 0) 3. History of non-compliance in study MRX-502, non-adherence to medical regimens, unreliability, mental instability or incompetence that could compromise the validity of informed consent or lead to non-adherence with the study protocol based on Investigator judgment 4. Experienced an adverse event (AE) or serious adverse event (SAE) related to maralixibat during the MRX-502 study that led to permanent discontinuation of the subject from maralixibat 5. Any other conditions or laboratory abnormalities that, in the opinion of the Investigator or Sponsor Medical Monitor, may compromise the safety of the subject, or interfere with the subject participating in or completing the study 6. Cognitive impairment of the subject or caregiver that would, in the opinion of the investigator, preclude appropriate understanding of study information and compliance with study procedures

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Mean Change From Baseline Over Time in the Average Morning ItchRO(Obs) Severity ScoreFrom Baseline to Weeks 75-78The Score on the ItchRo scale is a score on a 5-point scale from 0 (no itch) to 4 (very severe itch)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Maintenance of ItchRO(Obs) Response (Weeks 15 - 26)Week 15 - 26Maintenance of treatment effect is defined as the proportion of participants in the MRX-MRX treatment group (MRX-502 and MRX-503 data for subjects on MRX in the MRX-502 study) who obtain an ItchRO (Obs) response from Week 15 to Week 26 in Study MRX-503 in the primary cohort and PFIC cohort.
Proportion of ItchRO(Obs) Responders Over TimeBaseline to EOTProportion of ItchRO responders over time at each study visit using the 4-week study period prior to the visit as per ItchRO(Obs) responder definition.
Mean Change From Baseline Over Time in the Average Morning ItchRO(Obs) Frequency ScoreFrom Baseline to Weeks 75-78The Score on the ItchRo scale is a score on a 5-point scale from 0 (no itch) to 4 (very severe itch)
Mean Change From Baseline Over Time in Total Serum Bile Acid (sBA) LevelsBaseline to week 70Mean change from baseline over time in total serum bile acid (sBA) levels
Proportion of Subjects Who Experience an sBA Control Over Time From Week 18 to Week 26From Week 18 to Week 26Proportion of subjects who experience an sBA control over time from Week 18 to Week 26
Change From Baseline in Height Z-scoreFrom baseline to Week 70Height-for-age Z-score measures a participant's height relative to a reference population of children of the same age and sex. Z-scores were derived using World Health Organization growth charts for participants less than 24 months of age and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention growth charts for participants 24 months of age or older. A Z-score of 0 represents the population mean for age and sex. Positive Z-scores indicate height above the reference population mean, and negative Z-scores indicate height below the reference population mean. Higher Z-scores generally indicate greater linear growth relative to the reference population. Change from baseline was calculated as post-baseline height-for-age Z-score minus baseline height-for-age Z-score.
Change From Baseline in Weight Z-scoreFrom Baseline to Week 70Weight-for-age Z-score measures a participant's weight relative to a reference population of children of the same age and sex. Z-scores were derived using World Health Organization growth charts for participants less than 24 months of age and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention growth charts for participants 24 months of age or older. A Z-score of 0 represents the population mean for age and sex. Positive Z-scores indicate weight above the reference population mean, and negative Z-scores indicate weight below the reference population mean. Higher Z-scores generally indicate greater body weight relative to the reference population. Change from baseline was calculated as post-baseline weight-for-age Z-score minus baseline weight-for-age Z-score.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

A total of 84 participants were enrolled at 28 sites across 16 countries (Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, France, Germany, Italy, Lebanon, Mexico, Poland, Singapore, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States)

Pre-assignment details

MRX-503, screening starts after signing the ICF and confirming eligibility. It overlaps with the MRX-502 end-of-treatment (EOT) visit: if the MRX-503 baseline visit occurs the same day or within 30 days of the MRX-502 EOT visit, those prior evaluations count as the MRX-503 baseline assessments.
