LIVMARLI (maralixibat chloride)

Because of the low systemic absorption of maralixibat, pharmacokinetic parameters cannot be reliably calculated at the recommended doses. Concentrations of maralixibat in the pediatric ALGS and PFIC patients were below the limit of quantification (0.25 ng/mL) in the majority of plasma samples. Following single dose administration of maralixibat oral solution in healthy adults at doses ranging from 1 mg to 500 mg, plasma concentrations of maralixibat were below the limit of quantification (0.25 n...

14.1 Alagille Syndrome The efficacy of LIVMARLI was assessed in

Trial 1(NCT02160782), which consisted of an 18-week open-label treatment period; a 4-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled drug-withdrawal period; a subsequent 26-week open-label treatment period; and a long-term open-label extension period. Thirty-one pediatric ALGS patients with cholestasis and pruritus were enrolled, with 90.3% of patients receiving at least one medication to treat pruritus at study entry. All patients had JAGGED1 mutation. Patients were administered open-label treatment with LIVMARLI 380 mcg/kg on...

The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in labeling:

• Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]
• Gastrointestinal Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]
• Fat Soluble Vitamin (FSV) Deficiency [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Most common adverse reactions (≥5%) are:
• ALGS: diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting, fat-soluble vitamin deficiency, liver test abnormalities, and bone fractures. ( 6.1 )
• PFIC: diarrhea, fat soluble ...

LIVMARLI is contraindicated in patients with prior or active hepatic decompensation events (e.g., variceal hemorrhage, ascites, hepatic encephalopathy) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Patients with prior or active hepatic decompensation events (e.g., variceal hemorrhage, ascites, hepatic encephalopathy). ( 4 )

• Hepatotoxicity: Obtain baseline liver tests and monitor patients frequently for the first 6 to 8 months after starting therapy, and as clinically indicated thereafter during treatment. If liver test abnormalities or signs of clinical hepatitis occur, consider dose reduction or treatment interruption. For persistent or recurrent liver test abnormalities relative to baseline, discontinue LIVMARLI. Monitor patients with compensated cirrhosis frequently. Permanently discontinue LIVMARLI if hepatic...

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS

• Bile Acid Sequestrants: Modify LIVMARLI administration schedule. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on LIVMARLI Bile Acid Binding Resins Bile acid binding resins may bind to maralixibat in the gut. Administer LIVMARLI at least 4 hours before or 4 hours after administration of bile acid binding resins (e.g., cholestyramine, colesevelam, or colestipol). 7.2 Effects of LIVMARLI ...
