Long-Term Data from Mirum’s LIVMARLI Studies in ALGS and PFIC to be Presented at EASL Congress
Mirum Pharmaceuticals announced the presentation of new long-term data from LIVMARLI studies at the upcoming EASL Annual Congress in Milan, Italy (June 5-8, 2024). The data highlights sustained clinical benefits of LIVMARLI for Alagille syndrome (ALGS) over seven years and improvements in liver markers and growth for Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis (PFIC) patients. Key presentations include:
- THU-094: Clinical benefits of Maralixibat for ALGS patients through 7 years (MERGE Study).
- THU-129: Maralixibat improves growth in PFIC patients (MARCH/MARCH-ON Trials).
- THU-158: Serum bile acid levels and liver health improvements in PFIC children after Maralixibat treatment (MARCH/MARCH-ON Trials).
Additionally, a Mirum-sponsored symposium will discuss the role of IBAT inhibitors in adult hepatology and unmet needs in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).
- LIVMARLI shows sustained clinical benefits over 7 years for Alagille syndrome (ALGS).
- Long-term data indicates improvement in key liver markers and growth for PFIC patients.
- Upcoming presentations at EASL Annual Congress increase visibility and credibility.
- Mirum-sponsored symposium to discuss potential for IBAT inhibitors in PSC, indicating ongoing research and development.
- No new FDA approvals or breakthrough designations mentioned.
- Potential competition in the IBAT inhibitor market not addressed.
- Long-term study results may still require further validation.
- Data showcases sustained clinical benefit following 7 years of LIVMARLI treatment in patients with Alagille syndrome
- Long-term extension data from LIVMARLI PFIC studies highlight improvement in key liver markers and growth

Presenters: Drs. Verena Keitel-Anselmino (chair), Marco Carbone, Kris Kowdley, and Richard Thompson
PSC and IBAT Inhibitors: Can We Apply Our Paediatric Experience in Adult Hepatology?
This session will provide insights into the role and impact of elevated serum bile acids in cholestatic liver disease, including serum bile acid correlations with clinical outcomes in various paediatric and adult settings. The programme will include a discussion of the unmet need in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and the potential for IBAT inhibitors as an emerging therapy for PSC.

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.
