Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • Bile Acid Sequestrants: Modify LIVMARLI administration schedule. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on LIVMARLI Bile Acid Binding Resins Bile acid binding resins may bind to maralixibat in the gut. Administer LIVMARLI at least 4 hours before or 4 hours after administration of bile acid binding resins (e.g., cholestyramine, colesevelam, or colestipol). 7.2 Effects of LIVMARLI on Other Drugs OATP2B1 substrates Maralixibat is an OATP2B1 inhibitor based on in vitro studies. A decrease in the oral absorption of OATP2B1 substrates (e.g., statins) due to OATP2B1 inhibition in the GI tract cannot be ruled out. Consider monitoring the drug effects of OATP2B1 substrates (e.g. statins) as needed [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .
Warnings
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Hepatotoxicity: Obtain baseline liver tests and monitor patients frequently for the first 6 to 8 months after starting therapy, and as clinically indicated thereafter during treatment. If liver test abnormalities or signs of clinical hepatitis occur, consider dose reduction or treatment interruption. For persistent or recurrent liver test abnormalities relative to baseline, discontinue LIVMARLI. Monitor patients with compensated cirrhosis frequently. Permanently discontinue LIVMARLI if hepatic decompensation event occurs. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS LIVMARLI is contraindicated in patients with prior or active hepatic decompensation events (e.g., variceal hemorrhage, ascites, hepatic encephalopathy) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Patients with prior or active hepatic decompensation events (e.g., variceal hemorrhage, ascites, hepatic encephalopathy). ( 4 )
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Maternal use at the recommended clinical dose of LIVMARLI is not expected to result in measurable fetal exposure because systemic absorption following oral administration is low [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. Maralixibat may inhibit the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) and Clinical Considerations ] . In animal reproduction studies, no developmental effects were observed (see Data ) .
