Odevixibat Outcomes in Patients With PFIC Versus an External Control Cohort (OvEC-PFIC) (OvEC-PFIC)

May 27, 2026 updated by: Ipsen

Analysis of the Effect of Odevixibat (A4250) Versus External Controls on Clinical Outcomes in Patients With PFIC (Odevixibat Versus External Control [OvEC]-PFIC)

Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is a rare inherited liver disease that causes a build-up of bile acids in the liver. This can lead to severe itching (pruritus), poor sleep, impaired growth, liver damage, and in some cases the need for surgery or liver transplantation.

The purpose of this non-interventional, retrospective study is to compare long-term health outcomes in patients with PFIC. The comparison is between patients who received odevixibat in two odevixibat clinical trials (Studies A4250-005 and A4250-008) and an aligned, balanced external control cohort of patients with PFIC from the Natural course and Prognosis of PFIC and Effect of biliary Diversion (NAPPED) registry who were not treated with odevixibat (or other ileal bile acid transporter [IBAT] inhibitors). Outcomes such as liver transplantation, death, and surgical biliary diversion (SBD) will be examined to better understand how treatment with odevixibat compares to the natural course of PFIC. This study aims to provide a robust comparative evaluation of long-term clinical outcomes with odevixibat.

Study Overview

Status

Active, not recruiting

Detailed Description

This study analysis consists of two parts: Part A will evaluate the effect of odevixibat on clinical outcomes in patients without prior SBD (i.e., SBD-naïve) who were treated with odevixibat versus SBD-naïve external controls who were not treated with odevixibat; Part B will evaluate the effect of odevixibat on clinical outcomes by comparing outcomes in patients without prior SBD who were treated with odevixibat versus external controls who underwent SBD and were not treated with odevixibat.

Study Population

The study population source comprises patients of any age (paediatric and adults) with genetically confirmed PFIC who have either participated in odevixibat interventional trials (A4250-005 and A4250-008) or are included in the retrospective natural history registry (NAPPED).

Part A Eligibility: Comparisons to Evaluate the Effect of Odevixibat Versus SBD-naïve

Odevixibat Cohort:

  • Patients treated with odevixibat in A4250-005 with at least one post-odevixibat assessment and who did not have prior LT or SBD.

OR

OR

  • Patients treated with odevixibat in Cohort 2 of A4250-008 with at least one post-odevixibat assessment and who meet the additional eligibility criteria

External Control Cohort:

  • A male or female patient in NAPPED registry not enrolled in A4250-005 or A4250-008.
  • The patient must be IBAT inhibitor-naïve (has not received prior treatment with odevixibat, maralixibat, or other IBAT inhibitors).
  • Patients must have clinical genetic confirmation of PFIC (any type), excluding known pathologic variations of the ABCB11 gene that predict complete absence of the BSEP protein.
  • The patient has at least one visit in NAPPED (the first of which becomes the Day 1 visit for this cohort) where they meet the eligibility criteria
  • Patients must be in the regions that participated in A4250-008.

Part B Eligibility: Comparisons to Evaluate the Effect of Odevixibat Versus SBD Odevixibat Cohort

  • Same as Part A

External Control Cohort:

  • A male or female patient in NAPPED registry with clinical diagnosis of PFIC (any type) and not enrolled in A4250-005 or A4250-008.
  • The patient must be IBAT inhibitor-naïve (has not received prior treatment with odevixibat, maralixibat, or other IBAT inhibitors).
  • Patient must have clinical genetic confirmation of PFIC (any type), excluding known pathologic variations of the ABCB11 gene that predict complete absence of the BSEP protein;
  • The patient underwent SBD (the date of surgery becomes the Day 1 visit for this cohort) but did not previously undergo a LT.
  • The patient meets the additional eligibility criteria.
  • Patients must be in the regions that participated in A4250-008.
