New drug livmarli tracked for Long-Term safety in kids with rare liver disorders
NCT ID NCT07290257
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 230 children with Alagille syndrome or progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) who are taking Livmarli, a drug to reduce bile buildup and itching. Researchers will monitor side effects, liver function, and long-term outcomes like need for transplant. The goal is to see if Livmarli is safe and effective over years of use.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm Livmarli as a safe long-term treatment to manage symptoms and slow liver damage in these rare childhood diseases.
- What could go wrong
