Cholestatic Pruritus Understanding

Cholestatic Pruritus: Overview

Cholestasis is defined as impaired secretion of bile. Pruritus is a complication of cholestasis including that associated with mutations in genes that code for transporters in the hepatocyte and from inflammatory liver diseases. Pruritus is a debilitating symptom reported among 80% to 100% of patients with cholestatic liver disease, including primary biliary cholangitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. Cholestatic pruritus is severe. Although there is no primary rash associated with cholestatic pruritus, patients who have cholestatic itch often present with secondary lesions from scratching in an attempt to alleviate pruritus. Patients consider pruritus one of the most distressing symptoms of their cholestatic disease and report a significant decrease in quality of life as a result of pruritus. The pathogenesis of cholestatic pruritus is diverse, complex, and not clearly delineated. Cholestatic pruritus can occur at any stage of liver disease. Its intensity is often exacerbated by psychological stress, heat, and contact with wool. Cold temperatures often produce symptom relief. Moreover, pruritus is more common in women. A presumptive diagnosis of cholestatic pruritus can be made in patients with cholestasis who complain of itching. However, when there is no known cause of cholestasis, it should be considered that approximately one in five patients with generalized pruritus has a systemic disease. Assuming that the unknown pathogenesis of cholestatic pruritus is one of the factors preventing the development of effective therapy, it is understood why treatment options are limited and still do not provide relief for all patients.

Cholestatic Pruritus Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Cholestatic Pruritus report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Cholestatic Pruritus Emerging Drugs

• Volixibat: Mirum Pharmaceuticals

Volixibat is an oral, minimally absorbed agent designed to selectively inhibit the apical sodium dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT). Volixibat may offer a novel approach in the treatment of adult cholestatic diseases by blocking the recycling of bile acids, through inhibition of ASBT, thereby reducing bile acids systemically and in the liver. Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies of volixibat demonstrated on-target fecal bile acid excretion, a pharmacodynamic marker of ASBT inhibition, in addition to decreases in LDL cholesterol and increases in 7αC4 which are markers of bile acid synthesis. Volixibat has been evaluated in more than 400 individuals across multiple clinical trials. The most common adverse events reported were mild to moderate gastrointestinal events observed in the volixibat groups. Currently, the drug is in Phase II stage of Clinical trial evaluation for the treatment of Cholestatic Pruritus.

• Linerixibat: GlaxoSmithKline

Linerixibat is an investigational product for the treatment of cholestatic pruritus in patients with PBC and it is not currently approved for use anywhere in the world. In 2019, FDA granted orphan drug designation for linerixibat in the treatment of PBC and associated cholestatic pruritus. Linerixibat is a minimally absorbed small molecule inhibitor of IBAT administered as an oral tablet. By blocking resorption of bile acids in the small intestine, linerixibat reduces pruritic bile acids in circulation. Currently, the drug is in Phase III stage of Clinical trial evaluation for the treatment of Cholestatic Pruritus.
