Business Wire
Mirum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: MIRM) today announced that
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a label
expansion for LIVMARLI® (maralixibat) oral solution for the
treatment of cholestatic pruritus in patients with progressive
familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC). The expanded label
includes use in PFIC patients 12 months and older as well as the
higher concentration formulation of LIVMARLI evaluated in the MARCH
Phase 3 study.
“The launch of LIVMARLI in PFIC is going well and we are
thrilled that it will now be available for patients 12 months and
older,” said Chris Peetz, chief executive officer at Mirum. “PFIC
is generally diagnosed when children are young, and initiating
treatment quickly after diagnosis will help to ensure they have
fewer days suffering from pruritus associated with this rare liver
disease.”

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Limitation of Use: LIVMARLI is not for use in PFIC type 2
patients who have a severe defect in the bile salt export pump
(BSEP) protein.
LIVMARLI can cause side effects, including: Liver
injury. Changes in certain liver tests are common in patients
with Alagille syndrome and PFIC but can worsen during treatment.
These changes may be a sign of liver injury. In PFIC, this can be
serious or may lead to liver transplant or death. Your healthcare
provider should do blood tests and physical exams before starting
and during treatment to check your liver function. Tell your
healthcare provider right away if you get any signs or symptoms of
liver problems, including nausea or vomiting, skin or the white
part of the eye turns yellow, dark or brown urine, pain on the
right side of the stomach (abdomen), bloating in your stomach area,
loss of appetite or bleeding or bruising more easily than
normal.
Stomach and intestinal (gastrointestinal) problems.
LIVMARLI can cause stomach and intestinal problems, including
diarrhea and stomach pain. Your healthcare provider may advise you
to monitor for new or worsening stomach problems including stomach
pain, diarrhea, blood in your stool or vomiting. Tell your
healthcare provider right away if you have any of these symptoms
more often or more severely than normal for you.
A condition called Fat Soluble Vitamin (FSV) Deficiency
caused by low levels of certain vitamins (vitamin A, D, E, and K)
stored in body fat is common in patients with Alagille syndrome and
PFIC but may worsen during treatment. Your healthcare provider
should do blood tests before starting and during treatment and may
monitor for bone fractures and bleeding which have been reported as
common side effects.
