Abstract
Children with Alagille syndrome and progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) experience debilitating pruritus, for which there have been few effective treatment options. In the past 2 years, the ileal bile acid transporter (IBAT) inhibitors maralixibat and odevixibat have been approved for the management of cholestatic pruritus in these individuals, representing an important step forward in improving their quality of life. Emerging data suggest these drugs might also improve event-free survival, therefore potentially altering the typical disease course currently seen in these disorders. This Review will discuss how genetic advances have clarified the molecular basis of cholestatic disorders, facilitating the development of new therapeutic options that have only been evaluated in children. We focus specifically on the newly licensed IBAT inhibitors for patients with Alagille syndrome and PFIC and explore the next steps for these drugs in relation to other paediatric and adult cholestatic disorders, recognising that they have the potential to benefit a wider group of patients with gastrointestinal and liver disease.
