As defined by the FDA, the Priority Review timeline is 6 months and the agency will direct overall attention and resources to the evaluation of applications for drugs that, if approved, would be significant improvements in the safety or effectiveness of the treatment, diagnosis, or prevention of serious conditions when compared to standard applications. With completed submissions for Bylvay in the U.S. and EU for use in patients with ALGS, the Company anticipates approvals in mid-2023.\n“After completing the regulatory submissions in record time and now with FDA Priority Review acceptance, we are one step closer to bringing Bylvay to market to treat patients with Alagille syndrome, providing hope for this rare disease community that deserves treatment options,” said Ron Cooper, President and Chief Executive Officer of Albireo. “With the Phase 3 randomized, placebo-controlled ASSERT data and Orphan Designation, we are planning for approval in Alagille syndrome in mid-2023, expanding access to Bylvay for more of the cholestatic liver community.”\nThe sNDA submission is supported by results from the ASSERT Phase 3 study. Positive data from the Phase 3 ASSERT study recently presented at the 2022 AASLD The Liver Meeting demonstrated that Bylvay provided early, rapid, clinically meaningful and sustained improvements in pruritus, as well as significant reductions in bile acids and improvements in sleep quality across the two most prominent genetic types in Alagille syndrome, JAG1 and NOTCH2. Over 90% of patients were pruritus responders and Bylvay was generally well tolerated; the overall incidence of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) was similar to placebo. No patients discontinued the study and 96% of patients rolled over into the open-label extension study.\n“As an advocate for Alagille families, it is great to know physicians may have another drug treatment option for the debilitating pruritus that affects so many Alagille patients,” said Roberta Smith, President, Alagille Syndrome Alliance. “I personally know the devastation of pruritus and the terrible impact to a child’s quality of life and ability to sleep and thrive; this FDA acceptance and priority review paves the way to alleviating that burden for more patients.”\nIn Europe, the Company has also submitted Bylvay for a variation to the EMA seeking authorization for ALGS and this submission has been accepted and validated. Bylvay received orphan exclusivity for the treatment of PFIC and Orphan Drug Designations for the treatment of ALGS, biliary atresia and primary biliary cholangitis. A potent, once-daily, non-systemic ileal bile acid transport inhibitor (IBATi), Bylvay has minimal systemic exposure and acts locally in the small intestine. Bylvay is already approved in the U.S. for the treatment of pruritus in patients 3 months of age and older in all types of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC), and in Europe for the treatment of all types of PFIC in patients aged 6 months or older.\nASSERT Phase 3 Clinical Trial DataASSERT is a gold standard, prospective intervention trial with 32 sites across North America, Europe, Middle East, and Asia Pacific. The double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 120 µg /kg/day Bylvay for 24 weeks in relieving pruritus in patients with ALGS. Key secondary endpoints measure serum bile acid levels and safety and tolerability. The trial enrolled patients aged 0 to 17 years of age with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of ALGS. In the primary analysis, the study met the primary endpoint showing statistically significant reduction in pruritus as measured by the PRUCISION Observer-Reported Outcome scratching score (0-4 point scale), from baseline at month 6 (weeks 21 to 24), compared to the placebo arm (p=0.002). Over 90% of patients were pruritus responders during the study, as defined as at least a 1-point drop at any time point. The study also met the key secondary endpoint showing a statistically significant reduction in serum bile acid concentration from baseline to the average of weeks 20 and 24 (compared to the placebo arm p=0.001). Statistically significant improvements in multiple sleep parameters were observed as early as week 1-4 compared to patients on placebo with continued improvement through week 24. In the study, there were no patient discontinuations. Bylvay was well tolerated, with an overall adverse event incidence similar to placebo and a low incidence of drug-related diarrhea (11.4% vs. 5.9% placebo).\nALGS & Expanded Access Program (EAP)Alagille syndrome, or ALGS, is a rare, multisystem genetic disorder that the Company estimates impacts 25,000 people globally. ALGS can affect the liver, heart, skeleton, eyes, central nervous system, kidneys and facial features. Liver damage is caused by a paucity of bile ducts preventing bile flow from the liver to the small intestine. Approximately 95% of patients with the condition present with chronic cholestasis, usually within the first three months of life, and as many as 88% also present with severe, intractable pruritus. \nAlbireo continues to prioritize access and continued scientific research for patients living with rare cholestatic liver diseases, with the Expanded Access Program (EAP) for ALGS. Albireo has partnered with Tanner Pharma Group. Eligible patients with ALGS in Europe and the U.S., with no other options, may receive Bylvay on a free-of-charge (FOC) basis through our existing expanded access program, subject to authorization by the relevant country competent authority and meeting Albireo’s eligibility criteria. If you are a physician who would like to request ALGS EAP access for your patient, please send your enquiry to Tanner using odevixibat@tannerpharma.com, and you will receive a response within one working day with further information. \nAbout Bylvay (odevixibat) The European Commission (EC) and UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have granted marketing authorization of Bylvay for the treatment of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) in patients aged 6 months or older. Bylvay is also the first drug approved in the U.S. for the treatment of pruritus in patients 3 months of age and older in all types of PFIC. Limitation of Use: Bylvay may not be effective in PFIC type 2 patients with ABCB11 variants resulting in non-functional or complete absence of bile salt export pump protein (BSEP-3). A potent, once-daily, non-systemic ileal bile acid transport inhibitor, Bylvay has minimal systemic exposure and acts locally in the small intestine. Bylvay can be taken as a capsule for patients that are able to swallow capsules, or opened and sprinkled onto food, which is a factor of key importance for adherence in a pediatric patient population. The most common adverse reactions for Bylvay are diarrhea, liver test abnormalities, vomiting, abdominal pain, and fat-soluble vitamin deficiency. The medicine can only be obtained with a prescription. For more information about using Bylvay, see the package leaflet or contact your doctor or pharmacist. For full prescribing information, visit www.bylvay.com. In Europe and the U.S., Bylvay has orphan exclusivity for its approved PFIC indications, and orphan designations for the treatment of ALGS, biliary atresia and primary biliary cholangitis. Bylvay is being evaluated in the ongoing PEDFIC 2 open-label trial in patients with PFIC, in the BOLD Phase 3 study for patients with biliary atresia and the ASSERT open-label trial for ALGS.  Important Safety Information \n\nThe most common adverse reactions for Bylvay are diarrhea, liver test abnormalities, vomiting, abdominal pain, and fat-soluble vitamin deficiency. \nLiver Test Abnormalities: Patients should obtain baseline liver tests and monitor during treatment. Dose reduction or treatment interruption may be required if abnormalities occur. For persistent or recurrent liver test abnormalities, consider treatment discontinuation.\nDiarrhea: Treat dehydration. Treatment interruption or discontinuation may be required for persistent diarrhea.\nFat-Soluble Vitamin (FSV) Deficiency: Patient should obtain baseline vitamin levels and monitor during treatment. Supplement if deficiency is observed. If FSV deficiency persists or worsens despite FSV supplementation, discontinue treatment. \n\nAbout Albireo Albireo Pharma is a rare disease company focused on the development of novel bile acid modulators to treat pediatric and adult liver diseases.
