FDA Approves Livmarli Tablet Form
Mirum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced that the FDA has approved a new tablet formulation of Livmarli (maralixibat) for the treatment of cholestatic pruritus in patients with Alagille syndrome (ALGS) and Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis (PFIC)
“The approval of Livmarli in tablet form provides a meaningful additional treatment option for patients with ALGS and PFIC. It allows flexibility for patients and physicians, with the liquid dosing used by the youngest patients and a convenient one-tablet per dose option for older patients,” said Peter Radovich, president and chief operating officer at Mirum. “We have had tremendous success with Livmarli since its launch and we hope that the availability of the tablet will provide convenience that positively impacts patients’ lives.”
Livmarli tablets are planned to be available in June through Mirum Access Plus. “
