Abstract
Intractable pruritus is one of the most prominent and debilitating features of Alagille syndrome. Maralixibat is the first US Food and Drug Administration-approved drug for the treatment of cholestatic pruritus in children with Alagille syndrome aged 3 months and older. Clinical trials of maralixibat have reported follow-up to 4 years and reported a ≥1-pt reduction using the Itch-Reported Outcome (Observer) (ItchRO[Obs]) instrument (0-4 scale), as this decrease was previously defined as a clinically meaningful improvement in pruritus; participants in clinical trials were expected to be maintained on stable doses of antipruritic agents. We report on a patient with 3 notable features: (1) complete resolution of her pruritus; (2) durability of this response for over 7 years; and (3) ability to discontinue all other antipruritic medications.
