    Albireo Pharma announced today that the US FDA has approved Bylvay (odevixibat) for marketing


    PFIC is a rare childhood disease that causes progressive, life-threatening liver disease


    Bylvay's approval is supported by data from two global phase 3 clinical trials, PEDFIC 1 and PEDFIC 2


    PEDFIC 2 is a long-term, open-label, phase 3 extension study that once again confirms that Bylvay can continuously reduce serum bile acids in patients treated for up to 48 weeks, and improve pruritus assessment, growth, and other liver function markers
