New LIVMARLI™ (maralixibat) Data to be Showcased at AASLD The Liver Meeting® 2021
Mirum Pharmaceuticals (MIRM) announced the presentation of new data for LIVMARLI (maralixibat) at the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases annual congress from November 12-15, 2021. The highlights include a late-breaker oral presentation on a six-year event-free survival analysis in Alagille syndrome, selected for Best of the Liver Meeting. Additionally, a second late-breaker presentation will showcase predictors of long-term survival in patients treated with maralixibat. LIVMARLI is FDA-approved for cholestatic pruritus in Alagille syndrome.
- Presentation selected as part of Best of the Liver Meeting, indicating strong scientific validation.
- LIVMARLI is the only FDA-approved treatment for cholestatic pruritus in patients with Alagille syndrome, enhancing its market position.
- Ongoing clinical trials in additional rare cholestatic liver diseases could expand the drug's indications and market potential.
- None.
- LIVMARLI (maralixibat) late-breaker oral presentation on a six-year event-free survival analysis in Alagille syndrome compared to a natural history cohort; selected for Best of the Liver Meeting
- Second late-breaker presentation to highlight predictors of event-free survival in patients treated with maralixibat.
Highlights of the meeting will take place during two late-breaker sessions where new analyses from LIVMARLI™ (maralixibat) oral solution clinical studies will be presented. The late-breaker oral presentation will provide real world evidence analytics on a six-year event-free survival analysis in patients with Alagille syndrome (ALGS) treated with maralixibat compared with a natural history control cohort from the Global Alagille Alliance Study (GALA) database. The second late-breaker presentation is a poster which will highlight an analysis of predictors of long-term event-free survival and transplant-free survival in patients with ALGS enrolled in three long-term maralixibat clinical trials.
All abstracts are now available on the AASLD website and in the October supplement of HEPATOLOGY.

About LIVMARLI™ (maralixibat) oral solution
LIVMARLI™ (maralixibat) oral solution is an orally administered, once-daily, ileal bile acid transporter (IBAT) inhibitor approved by the
LIVMARLI is currently being evaluated in late-stage clinical studies in other rare cholestatic liver diseases including progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis and biliary atresia, of which both have received Breakthrough Therapy designation and Orphan Drug designation.

About Alagille syndrome
Alagille syndrome (ALGS) is a rare genetic disorder in which bile ducts are abnormally narrow, malformed and reduced in number, which leads to bile accumulation in the liver and ultimately progressive liver disease. The estimated incidence of ALGS is one in every 30,000 people.1 In patients with ALGS, multiple organ systems may be affected by the mutation, including the liver, heart, kidneys and central nervous system.2 The accumulation of bile acids prevents the liver from working properly to eliminate waste from the bloodstream and, according to recent reports,
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
LIVMARLI can cause serious side effects, including:
Changes in liver tests. Changes in certain liver tests are common in patients with Alagille syndrome and can worsen during treatment with LIVMARLI. These changes may be a sign of liver injury and can be serious. Your healthcare provider should do blood tests 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) or loss of appetite.
Stomach and intestinal (gastrointestinal) problems. LIVMARLI can cause stomach and intestinal problems, including diarrhea, stomach pain, and vomiting during treatment. 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. FSV deficiency is common in patients with Alagille syndrome but may worsen during treatment. Your healthcare provider should do blood tests before starting and during treatment.
Other common side effects reported during treatment were bone fractures and gastrointestinal bleeding.

Mirum’s second investigational treatment, volixibat, also an oral IBAT inhibitor, is being evaluated in two registrational studies including the OHANA Phase 2b study for pregnant women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy and the VISTAS Phase 2b study for adults with primary sclerosing cholangitis. Mirum is planning to launch a Phase 2b study in primary biliary cholangitis later this year.
To augment its pipeline in cholestatic liver disease, Mirum has acquired the exclusive option to develop and commercialize gene therapy programs VTX-803 and VTX-802 for PFIC3 and PFIC2, respectively, from Vivet Therapeutics SAS, following preclinical evaluation and investigational new drug-enabling studies.
