Odevixibat, sold under the trade name Bylvay, is a medication used to treat itchiness in progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC).[2] It is used in those who are at least 3 months old.[2] It is taken by mouth.[2]
Common side effects include diarrhea, abdominal pain, liver enlargement, fat-soluble vitamin deficiency, and liver inflammation.[1][2] Safety in pregnancy is unclear, with some evidence of harm.[2] It is a inhibitor of the ileal bile acid transporter (IBAT).[2]
Odevixibat was approved for medical use in the United States and Europe in 2021.[2][1] In the United Kingdom a month of medication at a dose of 400 mcg is about £6,200 as of 2022.[4] This amount in the United States is about 13,000 USD.[5]
Medical uses
In the United States, it is used for itchiness in people three months of age and older with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC).[2] In the European Union it is indicated in people six months of age and older.[1][3][6] It might not work in PFIC type 2 with ABCB11 variants resulting in non-functional or complete absence of bile salt export pump protein (BSEP-3).[2]
Dosage
It is generally taken at a dose of 40 mcg/kg per day which may be increased up to 120 mcg/kg per day with a maximum dose of 6 mg.[2]
Side effects
Common side effects include diarrhea, stomach pain, vomiting, abnormal liquid function tests, and a deficiency in vitamins A,D, E and K. [7]
Odevixibat cannot be given to a child on a liquid diet.[8]
Mechanism of action
Odevixibat is a reversible inhibitor of the ileal sodium/bile acid transporter which is the transporter responsible for reabsorption of the majority of bile acids in the distal ileum. [9] The reduced absorption of the bile acids in the distal ileum compounds and leads to a decrease in stimulation of FXR, decreasing the inhibition of bile acid synthesis.[7]
Pharmacokinetics
Odevixibat is majorly protein-bound in-vitro.[7] A dose of 7.2 mg reaches a Cmax concentration of 0.47 ng/mL with an AUC (0-24h) of 2.19 h*ng/mL. [8] Adult and childreb given the therapeautic dose did not display plasma concentrations of the drug.[10] Odevixibat is eliminated majorly unchanged.[8] Odevixibat has an average half-life of 2.36 hours.[7]
Society and culture
Legal status
In May 2021, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommended granting a marketing authorization in the European Union for odevixibat for the treatment of PFIC in people aged six months or older.[11][12] It was approved for medical use in the European Union in July 2021.[1][3]
