Study on Livmarli for Alagille Syndrome (LEAP)
This study looks at how safe Livmarli is over a long time for people with Alagille Syndrome (ALGS). ALGS is a rare disease that affects many body systems and often causes jaundice, which is yellowing of the skin and eyes, in babies. Livmarli is a medicine that helps with itching caused by a problem called cholestasis, where bile doesn't flow properly in the liver. It works by lowering bile acid levels in the body.
Key Points:
- The study is observational, meaning doctors will watch and record what happens over time, without changing treatments.
- Participants need to have a confirmed diagnosis of ALGS and be taking Livmarli.
- People who have used Livmarli in other studies or programs, or who have received certain liver treatments, cannot join.
