A Multicentre Extension Study to Evaluate the Long-Term Safety and Durability of the Therapeutic Effect of LUM001 Also Known as Maralixibat (MRX), an Apical Sodium-Dependent Bile Acid Transporter Inhibitor (ASBTi), in the Treatment of Cholestatic Liver Disease in Pediatric Subjects With Alagille Syndrome
A Multicentre Extension Study to Evaluate the Long-Term Safety and Durability of the Therapeutic Effect of LUM001 Also Known as Maralixibat (MRX), an Apical Sodium-Dependent Bile Acid Transporter Inhibitor (ASBTi), in the Treatment of Cholestatic Liver Disease in Pediatric Subjects With Alagille Syndrome
The purpose of this extension study is to determine the long-term safety and tolerability of an investigational treatment (LUM001 also known as Maralixibat) in children with ALGS who have completed participation in a core LUM001 treatment protocol. Efficacy will be assessed by evaluating the effect of LUM001 on pruritus, biochemical markers of pruritus, as well as biochemical markers of cholestasis and liver disease.
Participation for an individual patient is expected to be approximately 72 weeks.
Patients who complete 72 weeks of treatment may be eligible to receive treatment for up to 52 weeks during the follow-up treatment period and patients who completed the 124 weeks of treatment may be eligible to enter the additional long-term follow-up period.
