Maralixibat's first innovative treatment for childhood liver disease

Maralixibat's first innovative treatment for childhood liver disease

On September 29th, the US FDA approved Mirum Pharma Inc's innovative drug Livmarli (Maralixibat) for the treatment of cholestatic pruritus in children with Alagille syndrome (ALGS) over 1 year old
.

Maralixibat is the first drug approved by the FDA to treat this type of liver disease

Maralixibat is the first drug approved by the FDA to treat this type of liver disease

The European Medicines Agency is currently reviewing the marketing application of Maralixibat for the treatment of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC2)
.

Maralixibat is an oral selective apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT) inhibitor.
ASBT mediates the absorption of bile acids in the small intestine and helps them circulate back to the liver
.

Maralixibat can excrete more bile acids in the feces, prevent the accumulation of excessive bile acids, and control the extreme itching associated with cholestatic liver disease

Alagille syndrome is a rare genetic disease.
The patient’s bile ducts are congenital dysplasia, causing bile to accumulate in the liver and prevent the liver from working properly
.

ALGS can affect body organs such as the liver, heart, kidneys, and central nervous system

15%-47% of patients will eventually need liver transplantation

Introduced by Beihai Kangcheng

April 29, 2021 Mirum Pharmaceutical Co.
, Ltd.
and Beihai Kangcheng Pharmaceutical have signed a license agreement, authorizing Beihai Kangcheng to develop and commercialize Maralixibat in Greater China (including China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan)
.

Mirum is entitled to an advance payment of US$11 million, research and development funds, and a milestone payment of up to US$109 million after the realization of future registration and commercialization of Maralixibat, as well as a double-digit gradient royalties based on the substantial net sales of the product

.
Studies have shown that CGRP levels increase during migraine attacks, and selective CGRP receptor antagonists have clinical effects on migraine
.

In the field of migraine, AbbVie is selling BOTOX (botulinum toxin A, onabotulinumtoxinA) and Ubrelvy (ubrogepant)
.
Among them, BOTOX is the first preventive drug for adult chronic migraine approved by the US FDA, and Ubrelvy is the first oral CGRP receptor antagonist (gepant) approved by the US FDA for adult migraine (with or without Aura) acute treatment
