​What is LIVMARLI (Maralixibat)?
LIVMARLI is a medication being tested for kids with biliary atresia. It works by targeting a specific part of your body called the ileal bile acid transporter (IBAT). By doing so, it helps reduce harmful bile acids in the liver and blood. These acids are then safely removed from the body through waste.
​​
Why is This Study Important?
This research aims to find out how effective and safe LIVMARLI is for children with biliary atresia.

What is Odevixibat?
Odevixibat is a medication specifically designed for babies with biliary atresia who have had a Kasai procedure. It works by targeting a part of the body that helps control bile acids. The medication is easy to administer—it's a once-daily oral dose that can be mixed into breast milk, formula, or certain soft foods.
​
Why is This Study Important?
This is the first Phase 3 study to look at how safe and effective Odevixibat is for babies with biliary atresia. Your participation could help us better understand how to treat this condition more effectively.
