6.6.2024 16:30:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Mirum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: MIRM) today announced that data from new analyses showing long-term treatment with LIVMARLI were presented during the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) Annual Congress, June 5-8, 2024, in Milan, Italy. Presentations from studies evaluating LIVMARLI® (maralixibat) oral solution in patients with Alagille syndrome (ALGS) and Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis (PFIC) included:
THU-094: Clinical Benefits with Maralixibat for Patients with Alagille Syndrome are Durable Through 7 Years of Treatment: Data from the MERGE Study
Presented by Doug Mogul, MD, PhD – Mirum Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Foster City, CA, USA
An analysis of ALGS studies evaluating LIVMARLI for up to seven years of treatment were presented to demonstrate the durability of response to LIVMARLI across multiple clinical and laboratory outcomes. Data demonstrated that nearly all patients who remained on LIVMARLI for seven years experienced benefit including clinically meaningful reductions in pruritus and serum bile acids, along with improvements in height.

THU-129: Maralixibat Improves Growth in Patients with Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis: Data from the MARCH/MARCH-ON Trials
Presented by Professor Richard J. Thompson, MD, PhD – King's College, London, UK
This analysis reported on the long-term impact of LIVMARLI on improvements in growth across a variety of PFIC types in 60 patients from the All-PFIC cohort of the MARCH/MARCH-ON clinical trials. Patients treated with LIVMARLI from the All-PFIC cohort had a statistically significant improvement in height and weight z-scores which persisted through 82 weeks of treatment.

THU-158: Improvements in Serum Bile Acid Levels are Associated with Improvements in Key Markers of Liver Health After Maralixibat Treatment in Children with Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis: Data from the MARCH/MARCH-ON Trials
Presented by Lorenzo D’Antiga, MD - Papa Giovanni XXIII Hospital, Bergamo, Italy
This analysis aimed to assess correlations between serum bile acid (sBA) improvements and key liver parameters, including bilirubin. These data showed that reductions in sBA after treatment with LIVMARLI are correlated with reductions in bilirubin, a key marker of liver disease. These results indicate the potential for LIVMARLI to have disease modifying effects and improvements in liver health for patients with PFIC.

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.
