6. ALT or total serum bilirubin (TSB) > 15× the upper limit of normal at screening
7. Presence of any other disease or condition known to interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of drugs, including bile salt metabolism in the intestine (e.g., inflammatory bowel disease), per investigator discretion
8. Presence of other significant liver disease or any other conditions or abnormalities which, in the opinion of the investigator or medical monitor, may compromise the safety of the participant or interfere with the participant’s participation in or completion of the study
9. Liver mass on imaging, including screening ultrasound, suspected to be hepatocellular carcinoma
10. Presence of clinical or developmental preterm complications that
could impact safe participation in the study, as determined by the
investigator after evaluation.
11.Receipt of investigational drug, biologic, or medical device within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to screening
12. Previous treatment with an IBAT inhibitor
13. Treatment with other medications containing propylene glycol (PG) or alcohol or any substrate for alcohol dehydrogenase (e.g., ethanol; forparticipants <1 month of age only).
14. Known hypersensitivity to maralixibat or any of its excipients
15. Known caregiver history of unreliability, mental instability, or cognitive impairment that, in the opinion of the investigator or medical monitor, could compromise the validity of informed consent, compromise the safety of the participant, or lead to nonadherence with the study protocol or inability to conduct the study procedures.

Primary Outcome(s)

Secondary Objective: • To evaluate the treatment effect of maralixibat on serum bile acid (sBA) levels
• To evaluate the effect on liver enzymes (ALT, AST) and bilirubin
• To evaluate the effect on lipid-soluble vitamins
• To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of maralixibat in infant participants

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Throughout this study, the safety of participants will be closely monitored by an independent data monitoring committee (DMC). The DMC will comprise three disease experts (including pediatric hepatologists) and a biostatistician and will be governed by a DMC Charter. A Data Monitoring Committee will review safety and study data at specified intervals for the duration of the study.

Main Objective: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of maralixibat in infant
participants with ALGS or PFIC.

Primary end point(s): Safety (incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events [TEAEs], including those that are serious, are related to maralixibat, that lead to withdrawal, are of special interest, along with TEAEs by severity and change from baseline in safety laboratory [including measurement of osmolality and osmolar gap and anion gap when clinically indicated] and physical examination findings, vital signs, and neurodevelopmental assessment) and tolerability.

Secondary Outcome(s)

Secondary end point(s): Secondary endpoints:
• Change from baseline to Week 13 in fasting sBA levels
• Change from baseline to Week 13 in liver enzymes (serum ALT, AST) and TSB
• Change from baseline to Week 13 in vitamins A, D, E, and K
• Systemic maralixibat concentrations in plasma before dosing and 2.5 hours after the morning dose at specified time points
Exploratory endpoints:
•Change from baseline in morning Itch Reported Outcome Observer
(ItchRO[Obs]) instrument severity score
• Change from baseline in evening ItchRO(Obs) severity score
• Change from baseline in daily ItchRO(Obs) severity score (defined as
maximum of the morning and evening score on a given day)
• Change from baseline in Clinician Scratch Scale (CSS) score
• Changes from baseline in height and weight and in mid-upper-arm and head circumferences
• Number of hospitalizations; emergency ward visits; and the length of stay for hospitalization, surgeries, and procedures related to the participant’s disease type;
• Number of days the caregiver misses from work.

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Secondary and exploratory efficacy endpoints will be displayed by study
visit, using summary statistics including the number of observations, the
mean, median, standard deviation, and range for continuous measures
and counts and percentages for categorical measures. Actual values as
well as change from baseline will be presented.
Supportive and exploratory efficacy measures will be analyzed similarly
as above. Details of the analysis methods will be outlined in the
statistical analysis plan (SAP).
In addition, a responder analysis (based on change in serum bile acid
levels and bilirubin) will also be considered. The response definition and
its appropriate analysis methodology will be outlined in the SAP for the
study.
