Abstract

Provided herein are methods for treating cholestasis in a subject having a liver disease. The method includes administering to the subject an Apical Sodium-dependent Bile Acid Transporter (ASBTI). More specifically, the present invention relates to methods for treating cholestasis in a subject where the method includes administering an ASBTI to a subject at a dose of at least 10 μg/kg/day.

Claims (20)

1 . A method for treating Alagille Syndrome (ALGS) in a subject in need of such treatment comprising administering to the subject a liquid pharmaceutical composition comprising maralixibat in an amount of from about 400 μg/kg/day to about 800 μg/kg/day, a sweetener, a flavoring agent, and a liquid carrier.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the sweetener is selected from the group consisting of aspartame, saccharin, sodium or potassium or calcium saccharin, acesulfame potassium, sucralose, alitame, xylitol, cyclamate, neohesperidine dihydrochalcone or mixtures thereof, thaumatin, stevioside, and rebaudioside.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the sweetener is sucralose.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the flavoring agent is selected from the group consisting of acacia syrup, acesulfame K, alitame, anise, apple, aspartame, banana, Bavarian cream, berry, black currant, butterscotch, calcium citrate, camphor, caramel, cherry, cherry cream, chocolate, cinnamon, bubble gum, citrus, citrus punch, citrus cream, cotton candy, cocoa, cola, cool cherry, cool citrus, cyclamate, dextrose, eucalyptus , eugenol, fructose, fruit punch, ginger, glycyrrhiza (licorice) syrup, grape, grapefruit, honey, isomalt, lemon, lime, and lemon cream.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the flavoring agent is grape flavor.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the liquid carrier comprises purified water.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the liquid carrier comprises propylene glycol.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the liquid carrier consists of the combination of purified water and propylene glycol.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein maralixibat is present in the composition in an amount of 360 μg/kg/day to 440 μg/kg/day.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition is administered once daily (QD).

11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition is administered twice daily (BID).

12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition is administered for at least 18 weeks.

13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition is administered for at least 2 years.

14 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition is administered for at least 3 years.

15 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject exhibits below normal height or weight prior to the administration of the composition.

16 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject experiences pruritus prior to the administration of the composition.

17 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject is a pediatric subject.

18 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject is at least 1 year of age.

19 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition is administered prior to ingestion of food.
