Conditions

Alagille Syndrome, Cholestatic Liver Disease, Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis

Keywords

PFIC, ALGS, Maralixibat, Bile Duct Diseases, Liver Diseases, Biliary Tract Diseases, Pediatric

Brief summary

This study is designed to assess whether the investigational drug maralixibat, is safe and well tolerated in children \<12 months of age with Alagille Syndrome \[ALGS\] or Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis \[PFIC\].

Detailed description

This is an open label study where all participants will receive maralixibat treatment.

Interventions

Maralixibat chloride provided in the form of an oral solution (i.e., 5, 10, 15, and 20 mg/mL) * 400 μg/kg maralixibat chloride is equivalent to 380 µg/kg maralixibat free base * 600 μg/kg maralixibat chloride is equivalent to 570 µg/kg maralixibat free base

Maximum Level of Maralixibat Concentration in Plasma From Baseline to Week 13 for ALGSAt Baseline, Week 6, Week 10, Week 13 or Early Termination VisitBID=twice daily; QD=once daily. Systemic concentrations of maralixibat in plasma were determined at the following visits: * Approximately 2.5 hours after the morning dose at Week 0/Day 1 of dosing * Before dosing and \~2.5 hours after the morning dose at Week 6, Week 10, and Week 13 Stable dosing occurred at 400 μg/kg QD for ALGS or at the highest tolerated dose. Note: The values added in section Measured Values are for maralixibat dose of 400 µg/kg QD.
