Contraindications

openFDA Drug Labeling

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS 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 )

Warnings and Cautions

openFDA Drug Labeling

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • 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 decompensation event occurs. ( 5.1 ) • Gastrointestinal Adverse Reactions: Consider reducing the dosage or interrupting LIVMARLI treatment if a patient experiences persistent diarrhea or abdominal pain, or has diarrhea with bloody stool, vomiting, dehydration requiring treatment, or fever. Consider stopping LIVMARLI treatment if diarrhea or abdominal pain persists and no alternate etiology is identified. ( 5.2 ) • Fat-Soluble Vitamin (FSV) Deficiency: Obtain baseline levels and monitor during treatment. Supplement if deficiency is observed. If FSV deficiency persists or worsens despite FSV supplementation, consider discontinuing LIVMARLI treatment. ( 5.3 ) o Fracture: Consider interrupting LIVMARLI treatment and supplement with FSV. LIVMARLI can be restarted once FSV deficiency is corrected and maintained at corrected levels. o Bleeding: Interrupt treatment with LIVMARLI. Treatment can be restarted if the FSV deficiency is corrected and bleeding has resolved. • Risk of Propylene Glycol Toxicity (Pediatric Patients Less Than 5 years of Age): Total daily intake of propylene glycol should be considered for managing the risk of propylene glycol toxicity. Monitor patients for signs of propylene glycol toxicity. Discontinue if toxicity is suspected. ( 5.4 ) 5.1 Hepatotoxicity LIVMARLI treatment is associated with a potential for drug-induced liver injury. In the PFIC trial, treatment-emergent hepatic decompensation events and elevations of liver tests or worsening of liver tests occurred. Two patients experienced drug-induced liver injury (DILI) attributable to LIVMARLI. Two additional patients experienced DILI in the open-label extension portion of the trial. Of these four patients, one patient required liver transplant and another patient died. In the ALGS trial, treatment-emergent elevations of liver tests or worsening of liver tests occurred. Most abnormalities included elevations in ALT, AST, and/or TB/DB. One patient whose TB was elevated at baseline discontinued LIVMARLI after 28 weeks due to increased TB above baseline. Four patients had ALT increases that led to dose modification (n=1), dose interruption (n=2), or permanent discontinuation (n=2) of LIVMARLI during the long-term, open-label extension period [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. Obtain baseline liver tests because some ALGS and PFIC patients have abnormal liver tests at baseline. Monitor patients frequently for the first 6 to 8 months after starting therapy and as clinically indicated thereafter during treatment with LIVMARLI. Monitor for elevations in liver tests, for the development of liver-related adverse reactions, and for physical signs of hepatic decompensation. If liver test abnormalities or signs of clinical hepatitis occur in the absence of other causes, consider dose reduction or treatment interruption. Permanently discontinue LIVMARLI if a patient experiences the following: • persistent or recurrent liver test abnormalities, or • upon rechallenge, signs and symptoms consistent with clinical hepatitis, or • a hepatic decompensation event. The safety and effectiveness of LIVMARLI have not been established in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Monitor patients with compensated cirrhosis frequently and discontinue LIVMARLI if hepatic decompensation occurs. LIVMARLI is contraindicated in patients with prior or active hepatic decompensation events [see Contraindications (4) ] . 5.2 Gastrointestinal Adverse Reactions Diarrhea and abdomina …

Adverse Reactions

openFDA Drug Labeling

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS 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 vitamin deficiency, abdominal pain, liver test abnormalities, hematochezia, and bone fractures. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Mirum Pharmaceuticals at 1-855-MRM-4YOU or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch . 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. ALGS: In the Alagille syndrome clinical development program, which includes five clinical studies comprising 86 patients, patients received doses of LIVMARLI up to 760 mcg/kg per day with a median duration of exposure of 32.3 months (range: 0.03 – 60.9 months). In Trial 1, the 4-week placebo control period occurred after 18 weeks of LIVMARLI treatment. In two supportive studies that included long-term open‐label extensions, only 13 weeks of placebo-controlled treatment occurred which evaluated doses lower than 380 mcg/kg/day. The majority of LIVMARLI exposure in the development program occurred without a placebo control in open-label trial extensions. The most common adverse reactions (≥5%) for ALGS patients treated with LIVMARLI are presented in Table 5 below. Treatment interruptions or dose reductions occurred in 5 (6%) patients due to diarrhea, abdominal pain, or vomiting. Table 5: Adverse Reactions Occurring in ≥ 5% of Patients Treated with LIVMARLI in the ALGS Clinical Development Program *Terms were defined as: Fat-Soluble Vitamin deficiency includes: A, D, E, or K deficiency, or INR increase Abdominal Pain includes : abdominal discomfort, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, abdominal pain lower, abdominal pain upper Transaminases increased includes : ALT abnormal, ALT increased, AST abnormal, AST increased Bone Fracture includes: tibia fracture, rib fracture, hand fracture, humerus fracture, pathological fracture, forearm fracture, clavicle fracture 1 Exposure adjusted incidence rate for each adverse reaction type was calculated using the first occurrence of this adverse reaction per patient LIVMARLI (n=86) Adverse Reaction Any Grade n (%) Number of events per 100 person‐years 1 Diarrhea 48 (55.8%) 41.6 Abdominal pain* 46 (53.5%) 38.6 Vomiting 35 (40.7%) 19.8 Nausea 7 (8.1%) 2.9 Fat-Soluble Vitamin deficiency* 22 (25.6%) 11.1 Transaminases increased (ALT, AST)* 16 (18.6%) 6.9 Bone Fractures* 8 (9.3%) 3.3 Liver Test Abnormalities Increase in Transaminases In a pooled analysis of patients with ALGS (N=86) administered LIVMARLI, increases in hepatic transaminases (ALT) were observed. Seven (8.1%) patients discontinued LIVMARLI due to ALT increases. Three (3.5%) patients had a decrease in dose or interruption of LIVMARLI in response to ALT increases. In the majority of cases, the elevations resolved or improved after discontinuation or dose modification of LIVMARLI. In some cases, the elevations resolved or improved without change in LIVMARLI dosing. Increases to more than three times baseline in ALT occurred in 26% of patients treated with LIVMARLI and increases to more than five times baseline occurred in 3%. AST increases to more than three times baseline occurred in 16% of patients treated with LIVMARLI, and an increase to more than five times baseline occurred in one patient. Elevations in transaminases were asymptomatic and not associated with bilirubin elevations or other labora …

Drug Interactions

openFDA Drug Labeling

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 on Other Drugs OATP2B1 substrates Maralixibat is an OATP2B1 inhibitor based on in vitro studies. A decrease in the oral absorption of OATP2B1 substrates (e.g., statins) due to OATP2B1 inhibition in the GI tract cannot be ruled out. Consider monitoring the drug effects of OATP2B1 substrates (e.g. statins) as needed [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .

Use in Specific Populations

openFDA Drug Labeling

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Maternal use at the recommended clinical dose of LIVMARLI is not expected to result in measurable fetal exposure because systemic absorption following oral administration is low [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. Maralixibat may inhibit the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) and Clinical Considerations ] . In animal reproduction studies, no developmental effects were observed (see Data ) . The estimated background risk of major birth defects for ALGS is higher than the general population because ALGS is an autosomal dominant condition. The background risk of miscarriage for ALGS is unknown. The background risk of birth defects and miscarriage for PFIC is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions Maralixibat may inhibit the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (FSV). Monitor for FSV deficiency and supplement as needed. Increased supplementation of FSVs may be needed during pregnancy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] . Data Animal Data No effects on embryo-fetal development were observed in pregnant rats treated orally with up to 1000 mg/kg/day (approximately 3300 to 12000 times the maximum recommended dose based on AUC [area under the plasma concentration-time curve]) or in pregnant rabbits treated orally with up to 250 mg/kg/day (approximately 1200 to 4700 times the maximum recommended dose based on AUC) during the period of organogenesis. No effects on postnatal development were observed in a pre- and postnatal development study, in which female rats were treated orally with up to 750 mg/kg/day during organogenesis through lactation. Maternal systemic exposure to maralixibat at the maximum dose tested was approximately 2500 to 9400 times the maximum recommended dose based on AUC. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary LIVMARLI has low absorption following oral administration, and breastfeeding is not expected to result in exposure of the infant to LIVMARLI at the recommended dose [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . There are no data on the presence of LIVMARLI in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Patients with ALGS or PFIC can have FSV deficiency as part of their disease. Maralixibat may reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] . Monitor FSV levels and supplement FSV intake, if FSV deficiency is observed during lactation. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s need for LIVMARLI and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from LIVMARLI or from the underlying maternal condition. 8.4 Pediatric Use ALGS The safety and effectiveness of LIVMARLI for the treatment of cholestatic pruritus in Alagille syndrome have been established in pediatric patients aged 3 months of age and older. Use of LIVMARLI in this population is supported by evidence from a study of patients 1 to 15 years of age (N=31) that included 18 weeks of open-label treatment followed by a 4 week placebo-controlled randomized withdrawal period and a subsequent 26-week open-label treatment period. Additional safety information was obtained from four studies in patients up to 21 years of age (N=55) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) and Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . Use of LIVMARLI in patients 3 to 12 months of age. The safety and effectiveness of LIVMARLI have not been established in patients with ALGS less than 3 months of age. PFIC The safety and effectiveness of LIVMARLI for the treatment of cholestatic pruritus in PFIC have been established in pediatric patients aged 12 months of age and older. Use of LIVMARLI in this population is supported by evidence from Trial 2 in patients 1 to <18 years of age that included 26 weeks of pla …

Mechanism of Action

openFDA Drug Labeling

12.1 Mechanism of Action Maralixibat is a reversible inhibitor of the ileal bile acid transporter (IBAT). It decreases the reabsorption of bile acids (primarily the salt forms) from the terminal ileum . Pruritus is a common symptom in patients with ALGS or PFIC and the pathophysiology of pruritus in patients with ALGS or PFIC is not completely understood. Although the complete mechanism by which maralixibat improves pruritus in ALGS or PFIC patients is unknown, it may involve inhibition of the IBAT, which results in decreased reuptake of bile salts, as observed by a decrease in serum bile acids [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] .

10 OVERDOSAGE Single doses of maralixibat up to 500 mg, approximately 18-fold higher than the recommended dose, have been administered in healthy adults and were tolerated without a meaningful increase in adverse effects when compared to lower doses. If an overdose occurs, discontinue LIVMARLI, monitor the patient for any signs and symptoms and institute general supportive measures if needed. LIVMARLI contains propylene glycol as an excipient. In cases of suspected overdose, monitor for signs of propylene glycol toxicity, including hemolysis, hyperosmolarity with anion gap metabolic acidosis, acute kidney injury, and CNS toxicity. Discontinue LIVMARLI if propylene glycol toxicity is suspected.

A report count is not a risk measure. FAERS accepts voluntary and mandatory reports without establishing causation, and reporting is influenced by how widely a drug is used, how long it has been marketed, and media attention. FDA states that reports “do not prove that the drug caused the event”. Compare rates, not totals.

Attributed to this product's most-reported active ingredient: MARALIXIBAT CHLORIDE. Combination products with more than six active ingredients are not attributed, because a report count summed across a long ingredient list measures the list, not the medicine.
