Mallinckrodt plc announced that two scientific abstracts on the clinical and health economic outcomes of treatment with Terlivaz (terlipressin) for adult patients with hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) will be presented at the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) 2023 Spring Clinical Meeting (SCM) in Austin, TX taking place April 11 – 15, 2023

Terlivaz is the first and only FDA-approved product indicated to improve kidney function in adults with hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) with rapid reduction in kidney function,an acute and life-threatening condition requiring hospitalization.

The findings from one of the abstracts, presented by Xingyue Huang, PhD, Senior Director, HEOR, Critical Care at Mallinckrodt, provide insight into the treatment cost per response in patients with hepatorenal syndrome treated with Terlivaz plus albumin versus other unapproved treatments from a U.S. hospital perspective. Furthermore, findings from a pooled analysis of three Phase III terlipressin trials, presented by Muhammad A Mujtaba, MD, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston TX, offer perspective into the clinical impact of serum creatinine reduction from treatment initiation with Terlivaz through end of treatment on outcomes for adults with hepatorenal syndrome.
