- Mean change in the average worst Observer-rated Itch-Reported Outcome (ItchRO[Obs]) severity score from baseline through Weeks 13–20. The baseline average worst ItchRO(Obs) score is defined as the 2-week average worst ItchRO(Obs) severity score prior to the first dose of the study drug, where the worst ItchRO(Obs) severity score is defined as the higher of the morning severity score and evening severity score.

入选标准
- •Informed consent and assent (as applicable)
- •Willingness (participant or caregiver) to comply with all study visits and requirements through the end of the study
- •Age ≥6 months at time of baseline visit
- •Diagnosis of cholestatic liver disease with cholestatic pruritus based on the following: a. Chronic liver biochemical abnormalities (>90 days) and/or pathological evidence of progressive liver disease. Total sBA >2× ULN is required. b. Persistent pruritus (>90 days). An average worst daily (morning and evening) ItchRO(Obs)/ItchRO(Pt) score ≥1.5 during the 2 consecutive weeks of the screening period leading to the baseline visit. If both instruments are administered, a score ≥1.5 is required only for ItchRO(Obs). Participants with the following diseases will be enrolled in the study: Any liver disease, including but not limited to the following: Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, ARC syndrome, BA, Caroli’s disease, ciliopathies, chronic viral hepatitis, hepatic sarcoidosis, idiopathic amyloidosis, IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis, ischemic cholangiopathy, metabolic disorders, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, post–liver transplant cholestasis (including patients with ALGS, PBC, PFIC, or PSC who have had liver transplant), secondary sclerosing cholangitis.
- •Completion of at least 10 valid daily (morning and evening) ItchRO(Obs)/ItchRO(Pt) entries during 2 consecutive weeks of the screening period, leading to the baseline visit. If both instruments are administered, the completion criterion is required only for ItchRO(Obs).
- •If taking antipruritics or ursodeoxycholic acid, the participant has to be on a stable dosing regimen (i.e., same dose and frequency in the 30 days prior to the screening visit and will continue this dosing regimen up to Week 40 [adjustment for body weight is allowed]).
- •Non-pregnant, non-lactating females of childbearing potential who are sexually active must agree to use at least an acceptable method of contraception during the study and for 30 days following the last dose of the study drug. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test result.
- •Access to email or telephone for scheduled participant contacts and access to smart phone or tablet for PROs
- •Ability to read and/or understand the questionnaires (both caregivers and participants ≥9 years of age)
- •For participants ≤18 years of age: Access to consistent caregiver(s) during the study
排除标准
- •Diagnosis of ALGS, ICP, PBC, PFIC, or PSC with native liver.
- •Pregnant or nursing
- •Known intolerance/hypersensitivity to maralixibat or its excipients
- •History of nonadherence to medical regimens, unreliability, medical condition, mental instability, or cognitive impairment that, in the opinion of the investigator, could compromise the validity of informed consent, compromise the safety of the participant, or lead to nonadherence with the study protocol or inability to conduct the study procedures
- •Clinically relevant alcohol use disorder or drug abuse within 12 weeks of screening
- •Active atopic dermatitis or other non-cholestatic diseases associated with pruritus that are not controlled by standard treatment and that may interfere with the severity assessment of cholestasis-associated pruritus
- •Decompensated cirrhosis or complications of cirrhosis (e.g., esophageal or gastric variceal bleeding in the last 6 months, high-risk esophageal or gastric varices [e.g., large, coiled, occupying >1/3 of the esophageal lumen, red varices or red signs], ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, hepatorenal syndrome). Patients with compensated cirrhosis with preserved hepatic synthetic function (see Exclusion Criterion #6) and absence of complications are eligible.
- •Suspected or proven cholangiocarcinoma or hepatocellular carcinoma
- •Unstable and/or serious medical disease that is likely to impair the ability to participate in all aspects of the study, confound efficacy and/or safety assessments, or result in substantially shortened life expectancy (e.g., any active malignancy including hematological malignancy, end-stage heart failure, active infection, acute and chronic diarrhea). Exceptionally, previous history of malignancy, adequately treated/in remission, that in opinion of investigator and medical monitor does not impact participant safety and participation in the study, may be allowed. The investigator should contact the medical monitor to discuss these cases and seek approval before the screening period.
- •Laboratory results during the screening visit as follows: a) Platelet count <70,000/mm
- •Patients with any condition that further increases bleeding risk (e.g., recent clinically relevant bleeding event [6 months], recent major surgery [12 weeks], anticoagulant use, platelet function disorders) are excluded. b) Albumin <30 g/L c) INR ≥1.5 (after intravenous or subcutaneous supplementation of vitamin K) d) Total bilirubin >10 mg/dL e) ALT >10× ULN
- •Presence of any other disease or condition known to interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of drugs, including bile salt metabolism in the intestine (e.g., clinically relevant inflammatory bowel disease involving the terminal ileum), per investigator discretion
- •Use of an IBAT inhibitor within 8 weeks prior to the screening visit
- •Use of any other investigational medication within 30 days or 5 times the half-life, whichever is greater, prior to the screening visit
